It'll come. :)

Did you watch my YouTube link from the guy from Ontario? I bellowed, mimicking his calls for hours just replaying that silly Essential, Must-Know Moose Calls. :)
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

Yea I have watched that 1, and prolly every calling video, U-tube vid., etc... ever made, nonstop for the last three months. My calling worked on a dinker almost instantaneously so I don't believe that was the issue.
I just think a person needs to be in the right spot at the right time...and in close proximity to a bull.
We saw several cows that had other moose with them we didn't get a view of because of thick terrain. they seemed to be following or somewhat with the cows and would not respond to grunts or estrus moans. could have been calfs but they tended to stay really close to momma.  :dunno:  Some cattle herders saw 2 huge bulls right where we concentrated...I WILL GET ONE :tup:

Thanks Hirshey, bummed right now, but I'll get one. Was just hoping my wife could be a part of it. It was nice talking to you.

I also got to meet several other HW members, great people :tup: :tup:  One meeting was a classic, while at the trailer septic dump on my way home a truck pulls up and the guy says " hey are you NOCK NOCK from HW"  It was awesome meeting you Campmeat, funny it was at the poop dump  :chuckle: :chuckle:, Don't know if I've ever talked to anyone for over an hour at a location like that!!

Also a huge shout out to goldminer & Buckblaster, THANK YOU for all of the help and advise.

I will definitely stay in touch with you all. Even though I did not get a moose on this trip, I made some new friends   :)




Thanks Chris. Now you know my sh1t doesn't stink....... :tup:

alot of moose hunters are having the same issues...I have been helping a guy out with the hangman tag and the moose are being difficult to find right now...He had only saw 1 dink bull till yesterday..I took him into a new area and saw 4 bulls now, but small.

Have you tried the far northeast corner of your unit??

Well I spent another weekend looking for the elusive Sherman moose. On Saturday I finally saw 2 bulls that were only slightly bigger than a dink. Both were spotted on the move between noon & 1:30 (every one says middle of the day is slow  :dunno:)

I will hit it every weekend and a full week in mid-November...eventually I HAVE to see one that's a shooter( Im not too picky)

So next year when you look at the days per kill for the Kettle tag, think of me, just trying to run up the count. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

PS: huntnnw I have not hunted up there yet, wanting to try it and the Mt Hull area though, Thank you for the help.

wish you the best of luck. I know personally how much pressure I was feeling going into day 3 without seeing anything close to a shooter. let it happen work hard and love every minute.

Yeah I think the weather is my worst enemy. Sat was rainy & foggy...saw 3 moose.  Sunday was bluebird and saw nothing. 45 degrees was the lowest temp I encountered.   Come on cold!!!!

We saw a nice bull in the NF above Mt Hull last week along with a cow. The bull looked in the mid 40" range. Two other guys in camp saw two more bulls just over the hill from Summit lake, in the same area. We always see a lot of sign up there, might be worth checking out?

Friday, I saw a cow with a young bull with bumps on Albian near Deadman Cr Rd and a real nice bull with only one antler on Bulldog Cabin Rd.  Chris, this weekend I'll be hunting up in that area with the ponds that I told you about and I'll let you know what I find.  If its any consolation, once the snow hits, it should make it easier to find them.  Don't worry, you'll get one.

Snow, leaves on the ground, and rutty bulls - it will be a whole 'nother hunt!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
