Hunted hard for moose all last weeknear Fairbanks. Had mostly gorgeous weather and leaves were turning but no cooperation from the swamp donkeys.

Spotted many very accessible cows in this valley... but no bulls.

Found a perfect tree with a good view 40’ up just a short walk from our camp. Not too sketchy a perch but I did rope myself in because I kept nodding off lol. Spent a bunch of mornings and evenings freezing my ass off up there and watched a couple dozen moose tromp through over 7 days... but all cows! One morning was extra cold and I Literally watched skim ice form on the ponds between 6 and 9am when the sun finally crested the hill... or maybe it was just my eyeballs freezing up lol. Three nights of aurora too, although it doesn’t feel like any consolation.

So now we’re home, skunked. Got lotsa fish in the freezer but almost out of red meat so we’re considering options... bummed that all are f’ing expensive.
