RECAP OF THE 2007 MOOSE HUNT
Rob, Larry, myself and two guests by the names of Brad and Bill arrived in Uchi at approx. 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 7th one day before the hunt. We spent that first day getting settled in and acquainted with one another, enjoyed a delicious rib eye steak with all the trimmings then called it a night.
Early the next morning was the first day of the hunt in Unit #4, the boats headed off in their separate directions. It wasn’t ten minutes later when Larry and his guest Bill spotted a bull -
nice animal with an approx. rack of 43 inch. Being selective and its his choice, Bill passed up on the opportunity. He felt that it was just too early into the hunt for it to end.
During the next couple of hours Larry and Bill spotted a cow with her calf, Rob and Brad saw another cow and calf in a different location altogether. They all took a short lunch break and returned to their destinations but now in the pouring rain. It wasn’t long till Rob and Brad spotted again three more animals that being a two cows with last year’s bull, standing about 5 miles from the morning’s siting.
Second day was very successful with Rob and Brad spotting a bull, cow and a calf in a bay they had previously called in. Brad took the bull which carried a 41 1/2” rack. Now the work begins in preparing the animal for take home. To date (that being two days into the hunt) the guys have seen 15 different animals.
Third day nothing seen.
Fourth day at 10:25 a.m. Larry and Bill heard a sharp noise sounding like two animals. Since the frost was thick this morning, Larry figured the rut had started. Sure enough, making a few calls and sitting patiently they spotted their game. Bill dropped a bull with a 53 1/2 inch rack. Not bad for the first time hunting on Uchi Lake. Congratulations Gentlemen!!!!
AND THIS IS WHAT THE GUESTS THEMSELVES HAVE TO SAY........
Judy,
I just wanted to say thank you for an excellent experience hunting at Uchi Lake Lodge. As you are aware, my party and I have hunted in Ontario for the past 3 years with another outfitter, and we researched your location thouroughly before agreeing to hunt with you. We can honestly say your lodge blew away the competition, and that our hunting trip was far better than we could have expected. The service of your guides, the food, the cabins, and of course, the wildlife at Uchi was better than we expected it to be. I would be happy to be a reference for you to anyone interested in considering your location for a moose hunt. After seeing over 22 moose in 4 days, compared to 2 - 3 moose over 7 days at the other 3 locations we hunted with other Ontario outfitters, anyone looking for a quality hunt should definately consider Uchi Lake. I have attached a few photos from our camera's for you. Feel free to use them on your webpage if you would like.
Thanks Again
