Moosy, Moosy! (Don't open thread if you don't like dead animal photos!)

It's 4 years since I moved to Alberta and that long since I've hunted moose and I finally got a draw this year. A couple days of scouting provided all the info I needed.

Day One: Was pleasantly surprised to awake to temps of +1C and off I went. It was fairly obvious that the moose were already rutting as my first cow call received responses from 3 different bulls but they weren't showing themselves.

Day Two: NOT impressed as I awoke to temps of +13C and the hunting was dismal and uneventful

Day Three: Cool morning again and at dawn the cow moose started calling but too far off to be of interest.

Day Four: After a torrential downpour during the night everything was late this morning except for me. Sitting in my chair well situated behind a blowdown I heard a branch snap and suspected a moose moving in the bush just off the cutblock. It was 10:05 when I let out a sultry cow call and at 10:10 the bull walked out onto the cutblock 60 yds. in front of me where, with a well placed shot, he was dispatched quickly without running a step!

He had a 35" spread, estimated his age at 3 and his horns were well rubbed down. Enjoy:
