In preparation for my moose tag....

[Scottystyle]

So, after 25 years of trying to get a moose tag in Washington, the WDFW has taken pitty on me and granted me a Huckleberry moose tag!!! ( AND I NOW WAKE UP ). HAHA!!!  Was wondering though from those who have drawn or those who are holding on to a tread of hope of ever drawing... what kind of bull would you shoot? Would you hold out for a masher, take the first bull you see?  Just looking for opinions on what this tag is to you? For me, I want to have a big camp with my family and huntin buddys there to enjoy the experience. From what Ive seen in the unit, I would probably look for something 35-40 wide and pretty even both sides... and hopefully close to a road, not in a canyon haha!

If you have that many points you got me beat. Now I'm just hoping I'll get drawn before I'm to old.

wait a week before u pull the trigger..enjoy it and take it all in...35-40" bull is not hard to find any of the units of all the moose hunts I have been on here we would see many in that size a day...I myself would wait on a 44" + thats doable easily if you can keep your finger off the trigger.

[NWBREW]

Not sure what i would end up with. I see a lot of moose but the one in the pic I would probably shoot. Took it with a cell phone when I was elk hunting up north. Any guesses how wide? You gotta look hard to see him. I'd say just shy of 40.

id say your close..hard to tell

You can bank on being NOT SELECTED

Getting a 40 plus shouldn't be too hard, font shoot the first one you see unless it is a monster, lots of moose in all the units, take your time and enjoy the hunt getting drawn is the hardest part of moose hunting in this state.

I'd spend more time looking for a good deal on a freezer.

If I were to ever get drawn getting one with my bow would be more important to me than the score, that being said close to 40 and I would fill my tag.

Hold out for the bull that you will be happy with, enjoy the chance to hunt Moose, it is exceptionally fun.  Anything over 40" with split fronts on both sides is a good Moose with the preponderance of bulls killed each year being smaller than that.  Don't get overly nervous about the tag in your packet, scout the area as much as possible and enjoy the anticipation that comes during scouting.  The Moose are there and you will find a good one if you keep your trigger finger from getting too itchy.

I am pretty sure that I am going to draw this year!! 

If I do, I want to do it with my bow, and with my hunting partners.  I want to have a great experience and enjoy the opportunity.....BUT, I also want to challange myself to hold out for a big one!  44 + would be sweet! 

As soon as I draw I will let you all know my plans

Drew it in 07 seen a couple of bulls scouting in days before hunt first day of hunt killed a bull that was close to 47 wide it made BC should have scored bigger but had broken paddle. I think you could kill a bull that goes 150 with all 6 permits!

most wont wait till November(including myself) ..this is when it gets good.The bulls herd up..all the vegetation is gone..snow on the ground and easy to spot
