Legends of the Hunt
SEP 24, 2010 04:48P.M. It was important to get a good supply of venison for the camps to
supplement their provisions and sustain them over the harsh winter

By John Seerey-Lester desperation the hunters would bag whatever they could find.
Presented by Bernard+Associates
In the Coeur d’Alene Mountains of Idaho, a prospector by the name of
Pingree joined up with an old hunter called Purvis to get some meat for
the table. Both men were originally from New Hampshire, where they
had learned how to ski.

A heavy snow blanketed the mountains on that late-November day when


the men headed out on skis to hunt blacktails. Following tracks not far
from camp, they soon found themselves on the banks of a lake. Pingree
saw a dark shape moving in a nearby thicket and through the snow-
encrusted brush, he could just make out the form of a bull moose.

During the rut, moose can be quite aggressive and unpredictable, which
the men were well aware of. Cautiously they positioned themselves for a
shot. Purvis couldn’t get a clear line of sight so he motioned to Pingree to
take the shot. Without shifting his position, Pingree raised his rifle and
fired.

Sporting Classics Legends of the Hunt The shot only wounded the moose, which immediately lowered its head
and charged Pingree. The prospector desperately tried to maneuver
around on his skis, but it was too late and the animal was upon him.
Pingree was knocked backwards into the snow and as he struggled to get
up, the moose pounded him with his powerful front legs.

The prospector’s desperate cries echoed across the silent snowscape.


Purvis skied as fast as he could around the thicket and shot the monster
as it continued to stomp on his friend. The only effect of the bullet was to
redirect the bull’s attention on Purvis. The animal charged the
prospector, moving effortlessly through the snow. Purvis managed to

early conservation issues. Over the years, the AFWA grew to represent all

Q: How can I learn how and when to call?


A: Learning how to call is a lot easier than learning when to call. To learn
how to call takes nothing but practice and lots of it. These days there are
endless websites with calling instructions and online lessons. There is
also an abundance of calling instructional DVDs/CDs on the market. If
you do not have someone who you can practice with to help you correct
bad habits, I would recommend purchasing one of these DVDs or CDs
and listening to the sounds that the caller is making. If you have access
to a local refuge or park, it doesn’t hurt to go and listen to the best
teachers of all, the birds themselves.

Learning when to call is a completely different story. And no one can


really teach it to you. The only way to learn when to call takes time in the
field watching the birds.

Q: What do you do if ducks or geese are “short stopping” your


decoy spread?
A: One thing to do is to jump on your call really hard and fast. Get really
excited on the call. This doesn’t always work, but I have had success with
it in the past. Typically it will pick the birds back up and allow them to
drift the few extra yards you need to make the shot. The key to this is to
