The following is a hunting recap from our Small Lake outpost camp, on Day 6 of a Manitoba Moose hunting trip of a lifetime. 
Day 6: As we are heading back to the river I can’t help but think, why does the guide want to go back there, the action seems to be at the east end of the lake. But then I remind myself of what I consider the number one rule on a guided hunt, NEVER GUIDE THE GUIDE. So I keep my mouth shut and trust the guy with the local knowledge. We set up high on a rock and call for a few hours. Nothing, not even the distant raking sound we thought we had heard before. When we climb down from the rock Joe (guide) says lets go up river a bit and have a look. I agree and we head out.
Before we even get 1/2 mile away he pulls up to shore and here I go again thinking what the heck is he stopping here for. You can almost see where we just were, but again I wisely keep my mouth shut. We walk up the bank and while it looks real "Moosey" we don’t see anything so we head back to the boat. Joe gets in the boat, but I decide to answer natures call. As I zip up and head back to the boat he holds up his hand telling me to stop! I ask why and he points off in the brush across the river and says "BULL". Of course, I don’t hear a thing.
A few seconds go by and we hear a loud crashing sound. Only something real heavy could break a branch big enough to make that sound, and as Joe scrambles out of the boat with his call my heart starts pounding, even before we climb back up the hill for a better view. Then I hear it UH….. UH….UH and then a cow moans. Oh my god it’s going to happen. Joe calls back and then points at the willows across the river and you can see them being thrashed around and pieces flying. Joe says, "can you see him?" Of course I can’t, so he keeps pointing to a spot.
All I can see is the willows moving. Joe tells me to go to the right for a better angle and set up. So I get about 50 feet over, find a 45 degree dead fall for a rest and set up on the moving willows.

Right then I see a paddle and it looks big, there goes the heart again, feels like it’s going to jump out of my chest. Just as I am telling myself to settle down he steps out into a small opening in the willows exposing the front half of his body. My cross hairs were already on that spot, so I just verify that I have a clear shot and pull the trigger. Even though he didn’t react at all to the 200 grain swift A Frame from my 300 Ultra Mag, I can see water spray from where the bullet hit. I know it is a good shot but he is walking away like nothing hit him? I shoot again and he simply stops. He stands there for a second and falls over on his side. Suddenly everything is dead still,
I can’t believe it. I finally have my Moose after three hunts, one in B.C. and one in the Northwest Territories, finally, a Manitoba Monster.
Joe tells me to walk over to the river bank near the Moose and he will bring the boat. He picks me up and we go across the river and there he is, no ground shrinkage at all. What a Moose, I couldn’t be happier.
We take some photos and leave some tobacco nearby as thanks and open him up before going back for help to bring everything back to camp. This is definitely a "Two Boat Moose"
After getting everything back to camp, Joe and I hung around to make dinner and when the other guys got in we found out that Cedric got himself a real nice Bull as well. What a day, two Moose today, and 3 for 3 on the trip. What more could you ask for.

It’s just around the corner. Hunting season that is. Truthfully it’s the best part of an outfitters year. We spend our whole year, working and waiting for this fall season. At Webber’s Lodges, we have been working to make sure that no detail is left undone, nothing has been overlooked. We want to provide you with the Hunt of a Lifetime.
Weather you are looking for a Pope and Young, or Boone and Crocket Bull Caribou or Moose. Or perhaps your want to fulfill your wing shooting dream on the coast of the Hudson Bay. We have some of the best big game and water fowl hunting Manitoba has to offer.
