In these parts, Canadian Thanksgiving week end signals the start of the gun moose hunt (residents on Saturday morning; non-residents on Monday at dawn). In advance of the event, we’ve been out in the woods calm early mornings and late evenings to call out and, hopefully, photograph (and warn) the big bull moose. Although we’ve heard them move through the trees and ponds inside the tree lines in response to Brad’s moose call, they were too shy to appear. We also found in the bush road, their very near passing. These tracks were so fresh, Brad suggested, “If they were any fresher, he’d still be in them!”
