Rainy Pass (Hwy 20) Bull moose
« on: September 24, 2012, 09:06:39 AM »
Spotted this young bull literally 40 yards from the sign for Rainy Pass on HWY 20 last Friday evening right at dusk.  I knew there were some moose up there but this is the first one I've seen myself.  Pretty cool to see.

That is awesome! Now I have another animal to look out for driving over the pass just about every Friday night. I'm usually going by there around 12:30 am. There has been lots of deer this year between the top Rainy and Washington pass'

That's a legal bull in AK!
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Last year I ran into some Moose sign up by Loop Loop Pass. At first I thought "Holy Crap that's got to be the buck of my dreams!"
I took a picture to show my hunting buddies back in camp. When I got back two the truck I pulled out my iPnone to show my buddy, he pulls out a sandwich ziplock bag with the same sized poo in it, lol.

After laughing we agreed we were pretty pathetic.

It was not until later we found out it was moose poo, lol
