[@randysparks1271]

@@jeremyb5198 really? Cuz last time I checked any human can make a mistake. I get what happened and why it happened, sometimes you shoot and suddenly doubt yourself, you're terrified that animal will suffer and you know if it gets away and you don't find it then you've killed it for nothing. Personally I'd rather take that risk than kill an animal for no reason. I'm betting Steve felt the same.

[@jeremyk5414]

@@randysparks1271 I honestly believe that he just made an excited mistake. I did the same after a bull elk in 2015 in Oregon thinking it was down and ended up jumping it back up in thick reprod timber doing a pointless chase across country and literally ruining most of the meat on an animal pushing it until it died not to mention putting myself way of course in the dark I messed up and knew better. We all make mistakes especially when we’re excited or even worse impatient 😂

Never been charged by a moose, but as a hunter for 35 years, I can totally relate. Hunt long enough and you are bound to have a few close calls. It lets you know you are alive, which may be one of the myriad reasons we keep coming back for more! Great hunt!!

Man, the amount of endurance, stamina and strength these guys have to go on what are sometimes week-long hunting/camping trips is incredible to me. I mean, they’re hauling all that gear that must be at least 60 or 70 pounds (not to mention when they get a several-hundred-pound animal that they then must drag all the way back to camp) up and down mountains and rough terrain all day long for several days, and they make it look easy. I’d be dead after a few hours of that lol

@@Henkkaassouffle well, I don't live in that area but I'm in the south west corner of the province. no matter what though, the Bush and every mountain is that dense anywhere you go. On the west coast near Vancouver island it's literally a rainforest. So a different kind of jungle lol The public hiking trails maintained by the province are so easy to make a wrong turn - 50 feet from where you went off trail, you can't see the trail anymore. A girl died last week when she got lost on the local mountain & last night 2 people were missing luckily they found them alive & air lifted out by the search and rescue crews who recovered the other girls body. There's warning signs about Bears & cougars at most of our parks. I'm in a residential neighbourhood & There's a pack of coyotes in the forest 300 yards from my house though lol

Really enjoyed this video as I do most of what you guys produce. This one was special as it brought back the memories of my own Moose hunt back in 1968. I'd gone to Alaska to see it before I got drafted for Vietnam. I found a job in construction in Fairbanks, went fly fishing a lot on my time off and in the fall went Moose hunting up Birch Creek just a little bit south of Circle , Alaska. Two guys I met at work had a 18ft aluminum jon boat with a motor that could be lifted up almost out of the water to get over the shallow spots. After a long slow 2 day ride upstream a bull jumped up from lying down on the bank in front off us about 150 yards away. All three of us fired as quick as we could but on my second shot I shot him in the neck with my '06 and down he went. Lordy, what a butchering job that was. He was like butchering out a full grown Bramah bull. This is where our stories connected.....The butchering. I took all three of us to gut, skin, quarter and carry the quarters to the boat. Thank goodness it wasn't far. This bull was about the size of yours, you can't eat the horns......but gee what a pile of meat!!

[@augustingarnier4625]
