Sunday was a long day. The phone stayed silent and I refused to make the call. I was waiting to hear from my Father to hear the final word on our luck for the week. I knew that the longer I didn`t hear from him, the better. A call by noon would almost positively mean [...]

WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 8 – Down But Not Out
Posted in Moose, tagged wellpreservedmoosehunt2011 on November 6, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
It’s a beautiful day. I packed up early this morning. It was odd to be loading my truck while the remaining guys were loading up for the hunt. It’s the first time I’ve left before the camp is officially closed in as long as I can remember (although I did miss a complete season when [...]
WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 7 – Where I Become Scout…or Warrior

9:30 Raining again – but you knew that. This morning has been confusing. We had a quick meeting last night and choose where to hunt in the morning but our plans were foiled. A neighboring camp (there are 3, the closest of which is 5 kilometers away) beat us to the spot we were intending to hunt [...]
WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 6 – Blame it on the Rain
Posted in Moose, Special Series, tagged wellpreservedmoosehunt2011 on November 4, 2011 | 2 Comments »
10:30AM There was a final bit of excitement after I stopped writing last night: we pulled the memory cards out of the few motion-sensitive cameras we have and they worked! The cameras hang on trees and a small bit of food attracts animals in the area to the right spot. It’s not enough to keep [...]
WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 5 – Pressing for Sign

7:30AM. It’s raining again. I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining but the rain is really this consistent – and this much of a hassle. I keep hoping that the weather will get off the fence that is autumn and either turn back to a touch off summer-like sun or throw us into the pit [...]
WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 4 – This time, in words
Posted in Moose, Special Series, tagged wellpreservedmoosehunt2011 on November 2, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
After posting yesterday’s video diaries from the Tuesday of our hunt I asked for feedback both here and on Facebook on the video format. The feedback was split – many were passionate about liking the option to read for many reasons. Because of the feedback I’ve decided to publish the written content from my journal [...]
WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 4 – Video Diary of Dogging Through the Woods

Today`s post will be unlike almost anything we`ve ever posted – let us know if you like this format or prefer words. I decided to shoot a few short videos which may give you a better perspective of what our forests are like and what it`s like to hunt in Ontario. The audio walks you [...]
WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 3 – I’ll Tell You Why I Don’t Like Mondays
Posted in Moose, Special Series, tagged wellpreservedmoosehunt2011 on October 31, 2011 | 2 Comments »
It’s easy to imagine that an alarm clock ringing at 4:45 in the morning makes just about the worst noise you’ve ever heard. By the time I was awake for 30 seconds it was easy to conclude that was the second-worst sound I’d heard all day. An incessant drumming on the tin roof told me [...]
WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 2 – Football, Technology and an Early Sleep
Posted in Moose, Special Series, tagged wellpreservedmoosehunt2011 on October 30, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Sunday started late for me. Schaeffer continued his morning tradition by waking up everyone but me (he seems to have learned that trying to wake me is a fruitless task so he ignores me in the morning and tries to wake everyone else). Since the hunt doesn`t begin until tomorrow, many of us took our [...]
WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 1 – Running in Quicksand
Posted in Moose, Special Series, tagged wellpreservedmoosehunt2011 on October 29, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I am certain there`s a million better writers who have lamented about the reasons why time flies when you need it to crawl and why it dithers when you need to find the accelerator but you`re reading this and you`re stuck with me. And I fought time as hard as I could today. Needless to [...]
