The article in our local
weekly paper, mostly pictures, read::
"Moose Calling Contest
a Hoot at 2004
Oxford County Fair"
Our local paper didn't mention
Mooseland Tours sponsored the contest, hosted it, and gave out trophies
and two tours as top prizes; and they spelled my last name wrong, and
they gave me a new first name; but
at least they acknowledged
IT WAS FUN!
The rain didn't let up by noon as expected, so we started in a
small downpour! There were at least a couple dozen brave souls
huddling under an open-sided canopy tent and gradually as the rain eased
up and finally quit we must have had at least 30 or more people
watching... and about a dozen participated, some not til they were
razzed, cajoled or blackmailed into it, but nonetheless up they came and
all in all it was great fun! One of the highlights was when two
geese waddled in during one moose caller's performance!
The "show"
started when Robert Redfud (My brother, Rob Bennett) told some stories,
and then gave an entertaining demonstration on how to call a moose...
with whatever you have in stock... a shower curtain rod and a plastic
soda bottle, a traffic cone, etc.
and just about that time you'll never guess who showed up!
Amos the Moose from Sugarloaf!!
Amos then responded or ignored the
attempts to call him and ended up giving out hugs to a few bystanders
and Robert Redfud before he left.
(Amos said he was going to hide out during moose hunting season and then
we could catch him on the slopes at Sugarloaf when the snow starts
falling.)
