Deer Hunting Not Duck Hunting
Last fall while conducting my continuous scouting, “for a two week period in November there were ducks galore.” While the guys were set up in their deer stands for the day I came upon flock after flock of migrating waterfowl. These flocks consisted of birds well into the thousands. I took many pictures of these birds. Some are in the photo gallery.
A couple of the deer hunters wanted to see this awesome migration so I showed them. Because one or more of the deer hunters will usually always tag out early in the hunt, shotguns are on the list for their deer hunt.
Bull Moose Attacked Dodge Ram
At the south east end of Lake of The woods on the north shore of Stevens Bay is were the old reserve road is located. Local people use this seven mile long dirt road which exits off of HWY.71 to access the old settlement of the community.
Several community members sited two small bull moose and one larger while using the road a couple of weeks leading up to the incident.(Sept.2-Sept.16, 2005).
Denis & Joe were riding out with Denise’s Dodge ram truck. In the center of the road stood the larger bull moose. They stopped not more than 80 feet from the moose waiting for it to get off the road. Instead the moose turned and ran directly down the road away from the guys and out of sight. The guys decided to continue their run out to the HWY. not more than 300 yards and there once again stood the bull moose in the middle of the road. This time the bulls head was down and he was 
charging. Denis reversed his truck with no luck as the antlers of the moose crashed into the grill of the truck. The bull pushed and twisted into the front of the vehicle with its antlers so Denis geared to forward and attempted to push the moose back with no progrss. He then engaged the four wheel drive and began to push the moose, which in turn buckled the bulls momentum and it fell to the ground infront of the truck. The moose jumped up and ran into the bush.
The guys collected themselves as best as they could considering what just took place and started to move on. To their disbelief out from the bush the bull charged once more ramming into the side of the truck pushing and prodding the length of the vehicle with its antlers till it ended near the rear of the truck. In defence, Denis put it in reverse knocking down the moose and then rolled the dodges rear end on top of the bull. Thinking that this was the end of the ordeal he rolled the truck back off the moose. Shocked once more the moose got up and continued his bullying of the trucks rear end. At one point during the attack the moose had his front legs and hooves in the box of the truck. The bull backed out from the box of the truck. Taking this opportunity Denis reversed the vehicle once more and pinned the bull moose under the truck. The guys took a aluminum soft ball bat and struck the bull 27 times in the head while it was pinned under truck effectively killing the moose. The moose meat was given to the community.
