OK Bran any story you said right . Well heres a hunting one I wrote awhile back .
One time I went to the city to work and in short order I was talk of the factory because I was from up north and some were so called wannabe hunters .
So three of them really wanted to hunt moose for the first time and I thought sure why not , as I knew the land well and I was going regardless . Well let me tell you it was quite a shock to me what all I seen . LOL . One of them was even one of those big weekend warriors that dresses up in army surplus clothes and plays these outdoor combat games . lol .
Well Sarge as we called him , got into one mess after another it seemed . Aftewards I thought I should have sent them all looking for a four piece bathroom somewhere that was just over that ridge and hunted the rest of the week alone
. Well we got our camp setup at the end of a lake we canoed down and there was another lake at the end of it just with a stream passing between the two .
Well we were sitting around playing some cards and having a couple of pops as the season didn't open till the next day . All of a sudden I hear something and I tell the lads to simmer down for a sec . Next thing you know out pop three bull moose all together side by side . Well Sarge gets so excited he jumps towards them holding a knife in his hand for some reason and those bulls rear up just like spooked horses . And here are our canoes sitting there where these thousand pound monsters are doing their petrified dance . I'm wincing and trying to close my eyes because I can't believe this is happening . The canoes are really taking a pounding and I'm thinking heres a ten mile walk through the rugged terrain carrying everything but the kitchen sink with these boys from the city . Ouch ,ouch ouch . I finally tackled that warrior Sarge while we still had something left in the camp . Well them bulls were coming through now one way or the other and they did . Loved the sight of Sarges tent going down . LOL
So anyway after things quieted down and I finished ripping the warrior Sarges ear off I had a look at the situation . One canoe with a dandy of a hole it it and thank god it was the warriors and a tent whose poles were crushed , and and a busted cooler .
Guess whose rigging survived the carnage . LOL Well Sarge and his sidekick turn to me and say what are we going to do now ?. I say well warrior Sarge what are you going to do now ? . I'm going to bed and hunting in the morning . LOL
So needless to say I got them and some of their remnants back to there truck minus of course their booze and steaks that survived because my duct tape repair job on their canoe was only good enough to float it back with very limited supplies and weight ,,, and I did have to put the lads in my canoe . LOL . I had a pretty good hunt the rest of the week with the other lad but never did see any of the bull moose again in that part of the country . I think they headed to Alaska .
