Last week I related my futile adventure with a ridiculously large fish on ridiculously light tackle. Fishing a river bottom, whether it is the James, Missouri, or Wisconsin River, with a gob of night crawler on light tackle was foolhardy on my part.

Back in 2015 when I was looking to book a moose hunt, I struggled with a difficult decision as I perceived two completely different moose hunt categories. I’ll call the first category “Plan A.” In the fall of 2016, my hunting partner, Mike Hall, and I hunted moose in British Columbia with Copper River Outfitters. The equipment, guides, lodging, and food were excellent. The mountain setting was breathtaking, and the concession included thousands upon thousands of acres. The area teemed with moose, mule deer, black bear, grizzly bear, mountain goat, sheep, and lynx.
