FOR THE RECORD
by LLOYD
(THUNDER BAY,ONTARIO)
What constitutes a world record?
Large antlers-massive bodies, boss of the bush? Well I have lived in n/w Ontario all my life - I am 60 years old - hunted with the same guys for 45 years and my son who joined us when he was 16 - he is now 30 -- we as a group have taken many moose seen countless -- gone lean sometimes-more often than not.
I have hunted at 75 degrees f and 35 below in waist deep snow -- and still enjoy everything about it.
A lot of hunters give it up because they say I'm too old, well it does hurt more and I cannot do what I used to do - but will never give up the sport--even when I cannot move around much.
I will stay at camp and keep the fire going and food hot, promote ethical hunting-above all sportsmanship and comradery.
I love to see moose in all seasons--I am always amazed at the toughness, determination to survive the elements, predation and man.
I have seen cows with one week old calves 20ft from my boat while we were spring fishing, bulls thrashing the bush and unfortunately many highway kills.
I can truly say to whoever reads this that each and every moose I see is a trophy--a true world record be it through a camera lens or a scope.

morning Mark, I want to thank you again for your outstanding service. As luck
would have it, when I arrived home after work yesterday the moose call was in
my mail box. It figures when the Postal Circus is involved.

Cool website, nice to see others that consider the moose as a majestic creature. We are going to park the quads this year and use the boat, get away from the others. Will let you know if it is a successful hunt.
