And I ran over and jumped in the bush next to the funnel exit on the fence. And sure enough, the big moose came running up. And you know, your heart gets pounding like crazy. You're just like, no way.

I probably could have waited a little longer and had a perfect broadside shot, but I took the shot when he was, he was pretty close, like 24 yards, but he was quartering towards me, which makes it a little harder to make a perfect kill shot. And so I hit it and it took off running and I just thought, you know, I was super excited.

And particularly when you're first learning to hunt, there's always an animal that gets away, you know, and you like, make a bad decision or not a great shot or something. And it's just, it's just part of it.

And so of course you're like, I'm not going to be satisfied until I see this thing. So I followed the blood trail a little while and I saw some bubbly blood, which meant it was hitting the lungs, which meant it's not going to live, you know, you'll get it. And so as long as you don't mess it up. And so I went back to my shelter and waited an hour. I skinned that rabbit that had caught and then

So I followed kind of along the shore there. And sure enough, I saw him up there.
