Great that you got to share the experience.

Fantastic :whoo:  Cool looking bull.  Sounds like all the moose hunters this year are working the same areas.  What's with that :dunno:

mica peak is a small area with very limited access, that being 3 ways in and 14 tag holders. kinda of annoying. its all walkin also. so you would have 2-6 rigs parked at every entrance and i would meet a new person everyday who was trying to find that secret spot where they could be left alone. but we just hunted the same spot everyday.
they call me the bloodhound cause i can track a wounded animal in the rain for 2 days when all it has is a splinter.. sniff sniff awooo

Cool looking bull, it's too bad mica is walk in only now, having quads made it much easier for guys to spread out in that country.

That place is going to be CRAWLING with smoking huge bulls in a few years (unless the wolves set in).  I had that tag two years ago and had the whole place to myself for 2 days (day 4 and 5 of the season).  Didn't see another hunter either day.  No camping allowed in the area, plus a good 3+ mile uphill hump from the Starr rd access before you could really use a MT bike... it really sucks that they closed access to quads.  Someone with horses could have a great time in there though.  Not sure about other access points though. 

Seems like they would grant special access to quads for those hunters who draw that tag.  I understand they do allow a rig in to get your moose after it's down, which is good.  Either that or just eat it there (when you're 8 miles in). 
Nothing witty here.... move along.
