Good Luck at Big
Bend
On the first day, Loots, Ritchie,
UppaBoy, Long and I got all our gear ready, then we started on our
long journey up the river. We planned to go to Big Bend Slough where
I went last year with different people. We first stopped at Russian
Mission for gas and more grub, then we went through Tucker's Slough.
That killed a lot of our time. Finally after four or five hours, we
found a spot to camp. We pitched the tent, then walked along a small
creek where we saw a bull moose. Ritchie and Uppa Boy shot at it
first, then Long got to shoot after we all ran into the trees. He was
a bad shot, though, and he missed. On our way out of the creek we saw
another bull in the trees. Long was the only one with boots high
enough to walk in the deep water, but he didn't catch that moose
either. So we went back to camp and ate, then went to
sleep.
The next morning we drove through all
the sloughs, but only saw cows. About noon we went to Holy Cross.
That was the first time we'd ever gone there, except for Long.
Ritchie, Loots and I were the only ones with money, so Long and
Uppaboy stayed at the boat. After we got more gas and food, we went
back to our hunting area. On our way down I saw a moose across the
river from us. I told Uppaboy, but he didn't believe me. Finally,
when I pointed everyone saw it. We sped towards it until we realized
it was a cow. We watched it for awhile, then went down the river
again. We stopped at the mouth of Big Bend, and while the others
walked up the bank to see if there was a meadow with some moose in
it, I stayed in the boat. I noticed the ravens circling in the air
across the slough and thought about what the old people said about
Raven. When the boys came back I told them there was a moose across
the slough.
When we started back down Big Bend
Slough we saw a moose in the little slough I told the boys about.
Before we saw the moose I told Ritchie to get his gun ready. I loaded
my rifle and so did he. When we saw the moose Ritchie looked at me
surprised, and said holy #$%#!!! The only thing that was wrong was
that the moose was a cow with a good sized calf. When we came out of
the slough we saw Moses, Bruce, Howie and Nick. We told them that we
just saw a couple of moose in the slough and one on the river. As we
came down Big Bend Slough we drove fast through the other sloughs. In
one of the small sloughs we saw a couple of cows in a meadow, but we
left them alone and went father in the slough where we idled
out.
On our way out of the slough I looked
back into the meadow again. This time I saw a big bull. We were all
very excited. Ritchie shot the big bull, and Long shot a bull with
small antlers. We skinned them both and dressed the meat, then we
went back to camp and slept. It had been a long day!
