Me In 1967 At Fog Lakes

Me In 1967 At Fog Lakes

This was my first and only moose.  He was a real nice 48".  This was my first fly-in.  I have never been much of a moose hunter.  I was always to busy with sheep, goat and caribou. You can read the story "My First Fly-in Hunt."

My First Moose

My First Moose

It was 1967 at Fog Lakes when I shot my largest moose, a 48 incher.  That was quite the garb that I had on.  Walking in chest waders, what was I thinking.
