Put up a couple moose stand this week

Getting ready
Hauled stuff out to hunting area & put up one 11' tree stand in a birch


& one 15' tree stand in black spruce

 

Nice lookin stands dave. I was out on friday checking a few stands and future stand locations but cut it short after i got covered in chiggers. I love this time of year but hates those little skin chewing bastads!

 

When's the season come in?

 

Open now,
but real warm & still green , hard to see .
Frost due any time
Birch leaves just turning dull greens & yellows, some starting to drop.

We cut several trail too. (Tough on the chainsaw)
More a working trip out to camp than a hunt.

 

I didn't know they were out this time of the year?? I thought they were a june, early july bug

 

When it's warm like this Dave, what do you do with any meat, while still at camp?

 

Exactly !
How to you hang meat at 70°. ? ?

Probably good that we were working putting in trails & building tree stands,
&
Sweating profusely :firepit:

& no moose committed suicide coming into the sound of chain saws

 

Don't want to see any f*****g grizzlies


But the area is now a predator control area, open for grizzlies, no permit needed for residents.
Wonder if it's legal to shoot f*****g grizzlies ? ?

 

Have canned a few batches moose stew in the past.
Need to do more, easy to make meals
Some pints of canned meat would be a good to do too.

 

I get chiggers around d here till the frost!!

Its still I. The mid 90s here today.

 

Made some improvements to tree stands
Rain tarp & camo sides
views from the stand

 

Got some really nice shooting lanes. Hope you drop em right in the lane where you can get at em with the ATV. (Bet you do too) Good luck.

 

I didnt realize y'all hint moose from stands like that

 

Like other hunting , just one of the many ways to hunt.

 

Good luck Dave. Winter is coming early, hope you fill the freezer.

BTW, just had my first snow shower. Still a month to go for Elk season.
