My Dream Moose

 

When I was four, and in Head Start, my dad took me with him in the boat to check our net up at Willow Creek, which is about six miles up the river from here. It was fall time, just before freeze-up. I fell asleep on the way up, and I was still asleep after my dad checked the net and slowly started back down river. As we rounded the first bend, my dad spotted a moose standing at the edge of the water. It was a cow moose, and it was about 1/4 mile away. My dad stopped the motor and drifted toward the moose until it finally waded out into the water and started to swim across the slough. When it was about half-way across my dad floated right up beside it. My dad then came over to me and woke me up, saying, "Kim, look at that moose!" I got up and looked at it and said, "huh, wow!" and went back to sleep. When we came home, my dad asked me if I had seen that moose. I told him that I didn't remember it. He said that I must have looked at it and thought it was part of my dream.

My Dream Moose

My First Experience with a Moose

On the 1st of September, 1998, some friends, Bev, Everett, Kyle, Jackie and I went for a boat ride up to Kwik to rod and reel for pike or whatever we could catch. We caught nothing at all there, so we went farther up Kwik to fish. But we still had no luck. While we were looking around in Kwik, Everett saw a bull moose on the tundra. Jackie parked the boat, and he and Everett ran up to the tundra to look for it. But they were too late. It was gone.

Meanwhile, Bev and I were fishing, but only catching grass. When Jackie and Everett came back down to the boat, they told us to reel in our lines. Then they hurried and pushed the boat out. When we drove around the bend we saw the moose again swimming across the river. I started getting really excited because that was the first time I had ever seen a moose. Since it was in the water, we drove right next to it, and all of us almost got to pet it. It was so cool. But the boys were circling it, and it was getting really tired. Finally, they stopped going around it and we let it go up the bank. When it reached the bank they shot it. I was very excited because that was the first time I had ever encountered a moose since I was four years old. I wished so much that I'd had my camera. I was lucky that I was asked on that boat ride because it was one of the most exciting experiences I've ever had.
