MOOSE HUNTING & WHITETAIL DEER HUNTING

I shot this nice bull on the fourth day of my hunt. It will be a Thanksgiving Day I will never forget! Rick and Rita were excellent hosts. We had top notch meals all week. Rick and I cut a good track that morning while driving around and I decided I wanted to go for it. I put the stalk on!  I followed it through a clearcut and into the thick woods. I jumped it out of its bed and put it down as fast as it got up.  Rick has obviously hunted the area for a long time. He knew the surroundings extremely well.

Hi to all of you older and not so old geezers.  I’m 82 years of age and shot my first Alberta moose while hunting with WKO. Rick & I were hunting an old clear cut area during the moose rut season of 2017.  Rick tried his cows call which was answered by a bull.  Grunting continuous, he moved in the direction of the logging road we were on.  Suddenly, he stepped unto the road, saw us and darted across the road.  My 30-06 roared to life propelling a deadly Winchester silver tip into the moose and dropped him to the ground.

On the first day of my hunt with Wild Kakwa Outfitters, I watched a gas line easement in the morning and early afternoon and didn’t see any deer. My guide, Rick Houweling, checked up on me at 2:00pm and asked if I wanted to move. He found a spot that had a lot of sign and felt it needed hunting right away. Just hours before, he setup a portable tree stand and cut out some shooting lanes. Once I saw all the huge tracks on the way to the stand, I got so excited that I had to calm myself down.
