By Mark Rackay When I think about moose, the first image that pops into my head is that of Bullwinkle, a cartoon of my youth. Even though Bullwinkle did not look much like a moose, he still kept me entertained for hours. Bullwinkle was also a nickname that we secretly assigned to my grade school principal, but that’s another story. Up until about 30 years ago, the only moose you saw in Colorado, other than in the Denver Zoo, was probably a member of the Wyoming herd which got lost and found himself in the Northern part of the state by accident.

By Mark Rackay I was staring vacantly out the window, listening to the whine. My wife happened by and yelled at me to stop that incessant whining and go do something useful. Problem is, this time of year is tough on an outdoor person, and she just does not understand preseason fever. For me, the hunting season ends a half hour after sunset on the last day of the season and begins again the following morning. This leaves me approximately 12 hours to read my mail, catch up on some sleep, and say hello to my wife before it is time to start preparing for the next season.
