Hunting At Tucker's
Slough
"The hunting trip that I took this
year with Clifford was one of the best trips that I've taken in
recent years. It was also one of the most successful hunts that I
have ever been on. The day we took off from Marshall we went to Kuik
where we rode around for a while before deciding to set up our tents
on the slough above Charlie Fitka's camp.
The next day we took off towards
Tucker's Slough. First, we stopped at Russian Mission and bought gas
and other things we needed to survive out in the boonies. After we
got all our gear and gas we went up to Andrew Stephonoff's House
where we ate and visited Buba awhile. Then we took off again for
Tucker's. When we got to the mouth of Tucker's, Steven and Mike Nick
were there, and they showed us where some meadows were. After we got
camp set up, we checked out the meadows. We ended up leaving
Clifford's gloves there, so the next morning, after dropping me off
at a meadow, he went to get his gloves. As it turned out, he also
ended up killing a moose while he was there.
After we got his moose butchered, it
took us six hours to pack the meat to the boat because he killed it
about a mile into the meadow. While packing the moose to the boat we
had to stop and eat because we ran out of energy. After we ate we
went back to get more meat. After that, we went back to camp where we
ate again and told stories until we eventually fell asleep. The next
morning, after waking up, I went outside the tent where there were
about 25 geese that scared the !@#$ out of me when they took
off.
When we were getting ready to leave
camp, Rob Hall stopped by and bummed a piece of meat. He told us to
go over to their camp and visit. So we did, and I saw what kind of
campers they were. They had everything, including a propane oven.
After that, we started for home. When we got to Devil's Elbow we took
a ride inside the slough where we saw two cows run into a meadow.
When I went to check on them, about 600 yards away, I saw a bull. I
shot at it and, surprisingly, it fell because that was the farthest
shot I'd ever made. When I started to run towards it, the moose got
up and hobbled towards the creek at the edge of the meadow. I waited
till it got closer to the water to kill it so we wouldn't have to
pack the meat so far. After it died we butchered it, then put it in
Clifford's little 16 foot boat, and took off. Amazingly, that little
boat got on step with two moose and 45 gallons of gas. When we got
home I brought the meat to the fish house and went to
bed."
