Title: Todays roost hunt broken up by a Moose
Post by: sterling on May 21, 2012, 10:15:17 PM
Well, this was a first for me.  I have had Turkey hunts ruined by other hunters, Coyotes, Bobcats, Bears, Dogs and even Hot air balloons.

However todays blunder was done by a Moose.  After watching a nice Tom fly up into the roost last night all by himself, I told my buddy who I took out this morning, we should be done by 5:30 AM this morning.

Wrong!  Shortly after flying out of the roost, the bird was coming on a string and was strutting 70 yds. in front of us.  When all of a sudden he came out of strut and started walking the other way.  I heard a branch break and looked to  my right and here comes a young Moose walking down the skidder trail.

It took us four more hours to find another receptive bird and close the deal.  No guarantees in hunting, especially Turkey hunting.

This may be a first on this board...or any other turkey board.
That's pretty funny.
I once called up an elk with my mouth call while spring turkey hunting n TN.

That is a new one for sure, just goes to show that all hunts are very unique.
