You didn't tell me you were going in there.   Shoot me an email about your adventure, I'd like to hear some moose info from you.  Nice bull.   Hopefully you weren't 20 miles in. :chuckle:

Shouldn't you be in Alaska or something. If you could stay there or ID it might give our state a break

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

good job, we quit hunting in there in 2010 because the wolves were too thick and we didn't see squat for elk, just wolf tracks and bones....so good job finding the last elk!

Good job! That's some big country!
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
 He made wide open spaces from the start
 He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
 And trails to lead ol' cowboys home again
