This sheep hunt was now a moose hunt.

We prepared our bodies by carb loading on extra rations while we discussed how we would stalk the moose. Once we were satisfied with our plan, we crawled into our sleeping bags to enjoy one last comfortable night before it was time to go to work.

The next morning, the animals were still bedded down and we were betting on them staying that way or at least not moving too far in the time that it took us to close the gap. While our plan was solid, there were still several variables that we needed to mitigate in order to pull off the approach.

The bull was almost exactly 5.5 kilometres away from where we had stashed the canoe, and we decided this would be the absolute maximum packable distance. Because of this, it was imperative that we avoided spooking him any farther up the mountain, forcing us to be completely stealthy on our approach.

Second, we would need to make a perfect shot. Anything less than a heart shot could give the bull a chance to run farther up the mountain, which, again, could put him outside of a packable range. Even tagging him in the lungs, an otherwise desirable kill shot, would not be enough to guarantee that we dropped him where he stood. To mitigate this risk, we decided we would need to exercise extreme patience and only pull the trigger if we had a comfortable shooting position and a perfect broadside view.

Our approach had us going up the mountain and side-hilling across the scree, way above the two moose. They were bedded down and facing the creek, which allowed us to sneak in behind them, out of sight. With
