Fair Weather Hunting:![]() Fair Weather Hunting In mid-September Nick and Charlie Fitka, and John Riley Sr. left by boat for moose hunting above Holy Cross. The weather was nice, and it was only a little breezy out--just the way they liked it. They all traveled in one boat with all their camping gear. The ride upriver was like any other boat ride and took them about five hours to get to Paimiut where they made camp for the night. It didn't take them very long to find and kill a couple bull moose. They also saw some cow moose with their calves. During the nights they were out the weather would get a little cool but other than that it was nice. Their tent kept them warm, and when they ran out of food they went shopping at one of the stores at Holy Cross where they also visited people they knew. When they returned home Nick, Charlie and John came in with big chunks of moose meat and moose ribs. Nick enjoyed the hunting trip, and said the only tough part about it was carrying big pieces of moose through trees and willows. But the weather was fine--just the way they always like it.
