I am one that dose believe there still there!
You can poo poo it all you like. Every one says hey where is the evidences. But if you look at the high brows lines then it’s more on the ones that disbelieve to prove there not there.

In “Call of the Moose” Ray hears one calling across the water of the sounds. He spends three days getting over to the other side. He doesn’t have a boat so has to go over the tops. He gets there and stalks right down to the beach here he follows the tracks of the Moose along the beach till they disappear into the water around a bluff. It’s getting on towards dusk and so he turns to look for a camp site when he hears the call of that Moose! It’s coming from the other side of the sound! The other side where he was three days ago!

Other people say hey why didn’t the ground hunters get them. Well they where only after deer not Moose. Big difference in hunting between the two. Look at the last trophy and who shot it! A deer culler on a bush mans holiday! They got a cow on there second trip and a bull on there third, there first trip they walked in. They were there to hunt moose not deer! They also had vast stalking experience with huge tally’s of deer under there belts. Along with the experience of living in the bush year round.
So guys the challenge is still there. Maybe one of the last great hunts to be had WITH A CAMERA! Me I could not bring myself to shoot something so rear.
Good luck to all those that have a go and still believe.

I briefly knew Ray and shared several classes at school with his daughter. He was in the Bad Blood movie about Stan Graham iirc
He came to the high school once and talked about his 2 books, hunting and firearms.


I couldn't ever see that happening in todays snowflake society.
