Moose hunt '06

Well, we had a sucessful trip in many ways but the moose evaded us. Luckily we had fantastic weather and it was a beautiful spot just to pass the time enjoying the view and other wildlife. We spotted a few moose off in the distance, as well as, swans, geese, cranes, peregrine falcons, great gray owls, a nice bull caribou, wolves, and coyotes. We got back late on Tuesday night after a 9 hour day on the river. The next day we slept in and spent the rest of the afternoon getting all the gear put away but the guys are on the move again and headed down south by the Denali Hwy to look for Caribou and maybe a ptarmigan or two.

They spent alot of time looking at this pond

No moose here either, but a great place to look for them.

Mancha and I spent most of our time hiking around back in the woods, napping or reading- I love moose hunting!

We were treated to an amazing moon rise back at the boat landing- the picture definately does not capture it!
