Are you going to post a trip report and/or pics(if you have any) about your recent moose hunt?

In another thread you mentioned you were on a moose hunt.
Please explain, particularly considering your affiliation with the Greens.

well, there's some overpopulation problems in Maine with Moose, since all of the Moose's natural predators have been driven north. so, i don't have a problem with the hunting per se, since it fills a natural need. if, in theory, the meat is being used to feed people, then i'm all for it

it was, however, difficult to film the cleaning of the moose after it was shot, and i'm really not sure how i'm going to be able to edit that footage, if you know what i mean.

the short version of the trip report is this:

got up there, did a little bit of filming.

sunday: drove 3 hours north and scouted the area for a couple of hours, then watched the patriots game

monday: woke up at 4.22am, got in the woods at 6.00am, shooting time was 6.13, at 6.19 Dad's phone rang informing him there was a big buck just down the road, so we ran full tilt down the road and they shot him from 200 yards at 6.30. they gutted it, etc (weighed in at 700lbs), and we were back home at 5pm

then, my camera broke and i need to get the gears replaced (basic wear and tear), so i couldn't film all the context stuff i wanted. right now it's all kind of in limbo as to what i'm gonna do.

it doesn't really seem like hunting, though, so i'm sorta worried the footage will make my Dad a villain.
