Joel's First Moose

 

"One Saturday in early September I went up to Kuik with Garrett and Russell to go camping and moose hunting. That day I was working at Hunter's till about five o'clock. After work we got 12 gallons of gas from Hunter's because the gas station was closed. It took a long time for me and Garrett to get gas because there were a lot of people at the store.

We finally pushed off at 6:30. On the way up to Kuik we stopped to pick up a tent pole which we made out of driftwood. Then we went up the second slough inside Kuik. We stopped at some meadows to check if there were any moose. But there were only fresh tracks so we pitched the tent way inside where the slough splft into two sloughs. After the tent was up we ate, then went to check if Charlie was working on Leslie's cabin. On our way out of the slough we saw a moose on the bank. After I heard someone shoot (I think it was Garrett), I shot. Then I think Russ shot next. Then Garrett then Russ. I think Russ missed and shot in the water when our boat hit shallow water. Then on our last shot it sounded like all of us shot together, and the moose fell. When we got over to it I told the others I was going to shoot it to kill it. Then Russ jumped out of the boat and slit its throat.

I felt happy and proud after we caught that moose because it was my first moose. While we were carving it up Garrett went to check if Charlie was at Leslie's cabin. But he wasn't.

We caught our moose around 10:00 P.M. and finished butchering it around 11:30 P.M. After that we went back to camp and slept. The next day when we got home I passed out my share of the moose to the elders. Next year, though, I get to keep it."
