Moose on ice
« on: Jan 04, 2024, 01:53 PM »
Went yesterday and did OK.  Several 10-12" perch and a 4# pike.  At about 9:00 am I noticed a young bull moose walking onto the ice.  He was actually curious as heck and kept stopping to see what I was doing.  Wasn't concerned about me at all. After about 5 minutes, he crossed the narrow bay and went into the timber.  At 75 years old, it takes a lot to impress me. I've ice fished NW Ontario and never saw a moose on the ice.  Many packs of wolves but not a moose. Needless to say it made my day and perhaps my year.  Truly thankful for the experience. FYI:  Don't ask where because I've learned my lesson with stampeding groups of fisherman.
