Supposed to be fully guided but the packer hurt his back, so we did it. We camped on Marys Mtn. and hunted down and you could really see, but the moose had to come back up. Was so steep you just turned around and leaned back to rest. Hardest hunt I've ever been on, but the best hunt I've ever been on. I was 45 then so wasn't a kid but I can remember it like it was yesterday.

A friend of mine lives up there who will be getting me and my hunting partner to where We need to go. We will fly in to area DM338, if that means anything to you. Right now I know nothing about the area or what I’m getting into. I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

I didn't know what the numbers were but the guys that I knew that went had not seen a legal bull in a few attempts. I have know idea where they hunted either. I did know that moose aren't as plentiful as they were at one time. Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime
