The 2012 Moose hunting season was a great success. The first week our hunters saw a lot of Moose the first four days of the hunt. It was perfect timing as the Moose started calling the day before the hunters arrived. The hunters went 3 for 5 during this week. The only two hunters not tagging a bull had a chance at a big bull at 60 yds, but were unable to get a shot off. The second season started off with warm temps and was followed by two days of high winds, rain and snow. After the storm passed, the temperature dropped 20 degrees and there were Moose everywhere. We killed three big bulls the first day after the storm. Our hunters were a perfect 5 for 5 on the 2nd week. Overall we had three bulls that will be close to making the B&C record book.
Jared Crider shot this huge bull during the first hunt in 2012. They needed a tree to maneuver this massive bull for photos. This bull will score very well and should be close to making the record books. Warms temperatures moved in during the 2nd half of the first week and slowed down the rut. All the bulls killed during the first week were taken in the first four days.
Kevin Christianson and son, Alex Christianson, hunted the 2nd week of the season at Cuddle. Kevin poses with guide and Alex's record book bull. This high scoring bull charged their boat to within 15 yards! The second hunt started off with the same warm temperatures which was followed by two days of high winds, rain and snow. When the storm finally passed the temps dropped 20 degrees and there were Moose everywhere. Three big bulls were killed the day following the storm. Even after all the hunters had tagged out there were cows and bulls calling all day long all over the lake.
Kraig Ketter with the widest bull of the season - 53 inches. This bull should also score very well. We were chasing another bull the same morning before it gave us the slip. Another guide had spotted a huge bull on the other side of the lake. We took off after lunch and spotted the bull within 50 yds of where they had seen it a few hours earlier. The hunt was on! During the peak of the rut and the temps are cold, these bulls can be seen, called and hunted all day long.
