I saw a flying moose on I believe a red canoe on a red SUV in Shakopee last Thursday around 5 pm.

Post your flying moose sightings this season.

I saw Twins87 and Luft on Koma lake last week. I also saw Noel Krebs in Polly Lake. He doesn't post much but had all kinds of BWCA stickers I recognized.

Same trip last week that we saw Linden Tree on Koma, Luft & I met Tuscarora Bourealis & Aurora on the portage landing between Polly & Townline as we were heading out of the wilderness on Sunday morning.

Love seeing the Flying Moose in the wild. And always glad when mine is spotted by other members.

We will be on the Gunflint with our granddaughter the first week of July. Our Flying Moose sticker will be on our car-top carrier, as I don't think we'll be taking the canoe. The last couple years we have used the canoe that comes with the cabin and not had the extra work of taking our Bell Northwind, since we don't do any portaging anyway.

Keep an eye out for a silver Buick LaCrosse with carrier on top and if you see it, say "hi".

I saw two this morning. Sadly .. they were in my garage.

I really wanted to chat with you two when I saw you, but we had a lot of work to do and a big tree had to be cut down on a Koma campsite. We cut out the portage from Polly to Koma, right before you came through.

It was so buggy on our trip, I didn't even realize I had my headnet on until after you took the pic! The dragonflies were out in full force on our way out so thankfully I packed it away shortly after we met you at the portage. Looking forward to your trip report, hope you had good fishing on Malberg!

Glad you got that portage cleared for us ... it meant we had some energy left for the multiple portages through the beaver ponds to get to River Lake that day. The beavers apparently decided they didn't really want this large tree they dropped on the portage path. And those of us with short legs have a bit of trouble getting over it with anything on our backs! Hope to see you again this summer, I have several trips planned so continue to keep your eyes open for Flying Moose!

Saw a Moose Sticker on a Subaru in the EP6 (Slim Lake) parking lot last week. Didn't stick around long enough for the owner to materialize from the wilderness.

Just saw a flying moose on a green canoe, possibly royalex, on car roof drive past my shop window in Ely. I can only hope that they are heading on a really neat trip somewhere!

On a White Toyota RAV4? I have a green SR Q 16 that the previous owner de branded and I put a flying moose sticker on each side.

My daughter and I were in Ely today. After exiting from Wood Lake this morning we went to VNO for a shower and then had lunch at the Ely Steakhouse at 11:00. Left there around noon and we then made a couple stops at Brainstorm and Piragis before going to the Bear Center.

I did not see a flying moose in the bwca or in Ely other than my own.

That was it. I watch for canoes from my desk and only had a brief look, but I couldn't miss the moose! haha. I hope it was a great trip.

Treebear. Thank you. Yes, it was a great trip. Bugs weren’t nearly as bad as anticipated, Had a Walleye dinner and my daughter caught a 20 in smallie which is by far her PB. Most importantly I spent time in the wilderness with my daughter.

Canoe watching sounds like a great distraction at work ;)

Saw the Flying Moose on Takucmich 6-19-23, think it was egknuti, but no matter, as the Moose is on the front of the canoe! Of course, I had a flying moose on my canoe, but was parked on the campsite!

I believe that was me taking a canoe and a bunch of gear out to my sisters family for their first family BWCA trip.

There will be a few flying moose stickers in Goodland this coming weekend... I’m anticipating their arrivals... haha!

That is me! I caught some nice trout that day! I didn’t realize I was being stalked! :)

I was hoping you would stop by and say hi, we were packing up to leave - all we caught were some small SM, drought on the trout! I guess dragging a Mepps Cyclops as deep as I could get it was a bad strategy! We moved on toward Fish Stake Narrows that day and caught many nice (everything but trout)! I'm always looking for famous people ever since I saw Shug on Eagle Mt. You are the second most famous person I have seen in the BWCA! Happy Trails.

I wonder how I got so famous?!?
Sorry about not stopping by, but I had trout on my mind. It was the first time fishing Takucmich and I caught a trout in the first minute!

Trout Whisperer!

July has been a banner month thus far.

Made it to nctry's annual 4th of July weekend wingnight where several members were present, met whendrix last night at the Fall Lake campground and plan on sitting down with John Galt & mirth later this evening.

On July 8, I met Wallee in the Paddle Inn parking lot. He had the flying moose on his canoe, mine on my truck. The flying moose brings people together!

Just spent the week at Rockwood, but sadly I didn’t run into any bwca.com friends. I did see 3 stickers and all 3 were on Wednesday, Aug 2. In the morning I saw a silver SUV with the flying moose sticker on the back window drive from the bunkhouse down to the lodge. In the afternoon I saw one in Grand Marais at Holiday on one of 2 canoes on a trailer behind a maroon van. And in the evening back at Rockwood I saw a hexagon sticker on a canoe down by the kayaks. Someone from the bunkhouse had it staged for their early morning departure.

I hope they all had great trips.

Saw a sticker on a blue barrel on the lizz side of the caribou portage and got to meet Mr Max. Awesome conversation and was able to share our fishing experience for where they were heading. We hope you got onto the fish you were looking for Mr Max!

IndyScouters and my son

Got to see LindenTree on South Lake Thursday as he was making the rounds with his ranger partner and checking permits. Great to meet him IRL and chat for a bit before they headed off for latrine digging duties.

If anyone is at Reds vs Marlins tonight, I should be there with my flying moose hat on.

Great meeting you both! Glad you noticed the Flying Moose sticker. We didn’t spend much time fishing, but we passed along your intel to a couple other groups. Horseshoe was a zoo, so we made our way into Gaskin and had beautiful sunsets and relaxing days.

Always great to meet another Flying Mooser!

Dang, I always forget to get a picture. Any ways, it was great meeting you and sorry we could not partake in your Blueberry Rolls, but there is nothing more inviting than digging a new latrine hole.

I am kicking myself for not offering you to come over to our campsite that evening, I would have loved to chat with you more.

PS, We tried canoeing across West Pike around 1:30 that day after digging, me and my partner chickened out, due to the wind. We were empty except for our tool pack and getting tossed around, we opted for the long way around shore.

Great meeting you

Linden

Howdy to the driver of a red S10 pickup on shepherd road in Saint Paul tonight at about 530 :)

Parked near a pickup with Flying Moose sticker ablaze at Little Gabbro entry point on the August 5th.

BOLO: Silver Subaru Outback leaving the Asheville, NC, area the morning of August 25. May be seen enroute to Ely, MN, via Knoxville, Lexington, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Bloomington, Rockford, Madison, Eau Claire, and Duluth. Flying Moose decals on both sides of the bow of a Northwind 17 and on the tailgate of the Subie. Flying Moose hat sometimes worn by the Subie driver. Should be in Ely the afternoon of August 26. Wave or honk if spotted.

I SAW ONE! North end of downtown Stillwater. I think there were many wedding parties this evening. Black SUV. Been !awhile since I've seen one in the wild

Met Matt from Minnetonka at the Holiday in Tofte on 8/12. He was sporting the flying moose on his canoe, Great conversation starter.

Souris River? If it’s the Matt I know, he’s a great guy. He bought that canoe from me several years ago through this site and we still chat through text. I ended up buying our current canoe from another BWCA.com member who lived really close to him.

I just spotted a flying moose on Isabel St in St. Paul in front of Ken Yackel Arena.

That would be me I was there for a zoom retirement meeting for the county. I'll be there next Wednesday at the same time.
