Not much of a storyteller but here goes.
Here we are, fall agian, and heading north once again for annual horse trip. After safe trip we all meet at the trailhead, Looking forward to what lies ahead. This year there will be three of us going on the trip my brother, a good friend, and myself.
Our pack string consists of three Riding horses and the Five pack horses, With extra soft Panniers for the riding horses , incase we're really successful. Headed in the Bush for 14 days of hunting .Here are a few highlights of the trip.
Had a few horse moments on the way and got them all figured out. Lol. Weather was from warm, to cool. We spent three days in one camp, and last 10 days in a final camp. Once we're in there we let the horses Feed, for the most part, And use our feet to hike and hunt. We saw some amazing country, hunted hard, used the horses when we were successful to cut down on the work.
We ended up taking three really nice moose, With measurements of 48 inches 53 inches 55 inches, for those who care about measurements. We ended up having to turn our riding horses, into Pack horses to carry the load on the way out.. Was definitely a long day,broke camp at 5:30 am and got to the trucks 8:30 PM that night, stopping for two Granola bars on the way out. I googled the track, when we got home and, it was about 36 km, A walk I would do again, to have hunt like we did. Not that I was saying that, when we got the truck at 8:30 that night though. Never realized on the amount of times, we crossed the creek, with horses on the way in. Anyways enough Storytellin, I will let the pictures, tell the rest of the story.Hope you enjoy the pics..
