    The moose hunt is on so I won't be there.
    Have a good time.
    I'm not on the rifle. Just tagging along and probably doing the donkey work.

    I will claim that I have greatly influenced this outcome as I was in the pub with @Beaker yesterday evening and your name and the guiding activities of your daughters came up in conversation. You are welcome. Enjoy the experience, they a massive animals.

    Cheers Rushy. Don't be surprised if you get a Inreach message from up there asking for your advice on how to get out of a situation.

    I did not mean to imply that I had hunted moose but I did come extremely close to colliding with one in a truck a couple of decades back so am very acquainted with the size of the buggers. As to advice, I will forearm you. If you find yourself between a grizzly and her cubs, immediately bend over and kiss your arse goodbye. If you find yourself between a mountain lion and her kits do similarly. Same with a wolverine and her young etcetera ad infinitum for all dangerous animals. Standing behind someone else and pushing them forward may also work to your advantage in such circumstances. Ha ha ha ha. Have a great trip mate.
