Up where I am the big game aren't quite that common.  There is a moose lottery each year.  Some succeed in getting a moose license almost every year.  Or if they don't they have family.

I ha-)ve a neighbor who is in his 50s. One year in his life (probably hunting since age 16), he got a moose in his first 15 minutes of the season.  Fortunately, his oldest son had a license that year too.

Imagine your hunting season ending  after just 15 minutes.
