She told me that, as of now, I should be able to make reservations beyond Feb. 22 at the end of October, but to call back in mid-October just in case the system came up earlier, or so they could tell me if there would be any further delay. The only restaurants unaffected by the Feb. 22 blackout are Chef Mickey's, Cinderella's Royal Table and Victoria and Albert's.

You must be a very proficent hunter as well as a stalker (you should excel at that), as well as being in excellent shape. A Bull moose may weigh upwards of 1000 pounds. Packing that much meat out at 50 pounds a trip can be quite rigorus. A bull Moose is a very dangerous big game animal. Moose hunting is definetly not for whimps. Anyone who has the Spirit to take up Moose hunting definetly shows leadership qualities, much as Theodore Roosevelt did. Now back to our regularly scheduled thread!
