49 Degree North Moose 08 (huntnphool)

[Ironhead]

Sounds like the tag is living up to the name OIL. Glad to see you enjoying the hunt with good friends and family. Hope you tag the booner and can't wait to see the field pics, but from the sounds of it this hunt has already been a success.

Keep at it phool, we are all rooting for you.

60"? Damn maybe Shane-Wa wasn't *censored*tin us after all. 

[X-Force]

Good luck. All this suspense is making me anxious for you.  I hope you get a crack at him.

[Ridgerunner]

That is a major understatement, all the thank you's and credits will come after the hunt is over, it may take till the end of November so I dont want to get ahead of myself. I am the tag holder but lets not get it twisted, this has been a group effort to this point and I can assure you there will be a couple more friends help me before its done. This site has been a real blessing, I have met some great people along the way, been reunited with old friends and am very thankful for the help I have been given. Just for example, Mark, Waid and Shawn all took days off work, spent their own money on fuel and food, and hiked their collective asses off, not for themselves but for me. Joe offered his home to me and his resources even though he had paying clients in camp. None of them ever complained once about the work or the weather and they all felt for me when Sunday ended. I will never be able to express to them how much I appreciate their help or how much they added to the experience of my OIL hunt. I have lots of time left to hunt but cant imagine it getting any better than this first weekend, I only hope I can make them proud and tag a bull worthy of their collective hard work and effort.

You just did!

Let's get him this weekend bud!!!! 

[PA BEN]

Give me a call when you come over. If my Dad well let me pull away for farm work, I help you call that bab boy in I'll be over here for a couple of weeks still. My wife and kids well be here for the opener of deer season we have 4 tags. More meat in the freezer.

[huntnphool]

Will do PB.

I am curious, how many of you other moose tag holders were sent a packet with instructions to pull and send in teeth, etc? I was sent a packet like this along with my tag but the other guys I talked to didn't get one.

Lets go M-Ray, he's still out there.

[robodad]

Yeah we pulled the two middle bottom teeth and sent them in the little envelope, I guess so they can tell the age and health of the animal.

It's going to kill me not to be able to go after that mega giga moose...  It's like a duel, he's outdone me twice now.  Third time would be a charm.  I hope you get him this weekend, but if you don't, I want another crack at that guy.  If you get that guy on the ground, I better get a call before his body gets cold...  Oh, and make sure you bring in a film camera so you can certify it as the new WA record...   

[DeKuma]

Are you going over for just the weekend Phool?

I am off work from Tuesday on to hunt with my dad, on the other side of the valley, but can head up to 49 for the day Tuesday if you need help.

Let me know, as I will be in the Huckberry unit across the valley for the remainder of the week through the following weekend.

You got it, care to make a 10 hour round trip just to click off some pics? You wont have to worry about a phone call, if I get lucky you will be able to hear M-Ray and I whooping it up from there.

I still have not gotten confirmation on the film photo thing, is that still in effect?
