Cows and
Calves
"Last year I went moose hunting a
couple of times. The first time, we didn't see anything, but the
second time was more interesting. I went with Ruth and Fabe and Diane
down river, I think in Tukchuk Slough. We didn't go very far in. We
stopped a couple of times, got out and went up the beach and checked
if there were any moose tracks. After an hour or two, we stopped and
had something to eat. Fabe decided to check for tracks, so we
followed him up through the trees. Ruth was first, then me. I
remember the grass and sticks breaking under my shoes seemed so loud.
Maybe that's why I couldn't hear so good. Ahead of me, Ruth stopped
and said, "What's that?" Of course, I couldn't hear anything besides
my loud feet. Fabe and Ruth took off through the trees, and I tried
to keep up. All of a sudden, Ruth said, "Holy Cow!" Fabe stopped and
only said, "Cow and two calves." Diane just said, "Whoa!" I couldn't
believe I was actually seeing them. It was the first time I'd ever
seen that many. Ruth said they sounded just like horses running. The
momma moose was really big. She was across the meadow in no time. One
of the little ones was not far behind. But the other one must have
been hungry because it just lay there and kept on eating. Then the
momma moose made a grunting sound and started coming back. Only then
did the hungry calf decide to listen and got up and went after the
other two. Then all three took off and disappeared into the trees. It
happened so fast. Since there were no more moose, we went back down
to the boat and checked another place.
We stopped a little farther in the
slough, and right away there were tracks to follow. Fabe led the way.
We went through a couple of meadows, trees, and more trees. One
meadow had some water in it, and my feet were getting wet, so Diane
and I started back. A couple of minutes later, we heard shots. I
thought Fabe had shot something, so we went back. But it wasn't them;
it was other people farther in. Since we didn't want to get
accidentally shot, we went back to the boat and returned to
Marshall."
