Two Moose In One Day:Two Moose In One
Day
"On September 2nd Herman George and I wanted to go moose hunting, but we were undecided on where to go. We either wanted to go to Nuuksuk or lgeravaq. We thought that there would be too many hunters at Nuuksuk, so we decided to go to Igeravaq. We got enough gas and grub to last four or five days, then took off around 4:30 in the afternoon. It took us about an hour to get there. I let Herman take over driving for a while. We went in about five miles where we saw a moose right away. I shot but missed, and while I was reloading, Herman shot the moose. We started skinning the moose right away. We were done butchering the moose by 6:30, and we put the moose meat on the bank where we could pick it up on the way out of the slough. Then we decided to look for a campsite farther inside the slough. We went in about three miles where we saw another moose. I shot at it and I hit it this time. We skinned and dressed the moose, and were done by 8:00. When we were finished we loaded the meat in the boat, and, since it was still early enough to come home, we decided to pick up Herman's moose and return to Marshall. My moose antlers measured 38 and a half inches. I've hunted a lot of moose before but that was the shortest moose hunt that I've ever been on."
