NWBREW Aladdin Moose 2015

Here it is. Went lengthwise through an elk at around 90-100 yards.

Hunt of a lifetime no matter what!  A month of hunting in your backyard is a dream.

Sounds like your in for a tremendous season. My wife drew the Douglas early tag this year. It sounds like you spend some time in that region. Do you have any slam dunk scouting tips that you would be willing to part with in GMU 108. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Nice

I have a guide gun in 45-70.  The gun loves my 460gr gas check hard cast huge flat point with xmp5744 for one big hole groups at 50 yards with XS Ghost ring peep sight.  Drops like a rock though.  Not for longer ranges.

That's exactly why I went with a 22" barrel. I'm hoping it will give me another 30 or 40 yards before the big drop off starts. (I know it will give me at least 3 1/2"  ) I love the caliber and now I get to hunt with it. Most of my deer and elk hunts have been with a scope, although my deer shots have been 40 yards or less. Being able to hunt the largest of the big game we have with a big lever action with iron sights....that's the stuff my hunting dreams are made of. 

I think this hunt means so much to me (not just because it's unbelieveable) because of the massive heart attack I had 8 months ago during hunting season as many of you know. I was so lucky...amazingly lucky I am still here. So many positive things have happened since then...or maybe I just notice that a little more. I do wish my dad was still around for this. My daughter will be off somewhere doing Army medic work or she would be there (she's awesome). My hunting buds will be there to help though.

Truly feels like "Once in a Lifetime". Trail cams will be set in September for moose.

Received the tag and permit today.  So that's what a moose tag looks like. I've never seen one before. I've heard about them but after 13 years......just thought moose tags were a myth.  I feel for you guys with more points. The way I see it, You can only not draw if you don't put in......from there, it's all a crapshoot.   

I'll be heading up where I spend some time elk hunting, at the high areas. I see good moose up there in November. Probably why I don't see elk  There are some open areas but it is awfully think too. I'll set trailcams labor day and won't be back in till it's time to hunt elk. That is a little stressful but it's the good kind. I'm saving vacation time to max opportunity. I now have a tag, I have a new Marlin 45-70, I know the area well, I know there are moose and I have 30 days for once in a lifetime. I'm not to proud to ask for a little luck as well.  Deer and elk will be open that month as well. This otta be good.

Falcon,  feel free to swing by the cabin if your up in the area in November.

Checked cams. 5 bull moose but nothing too big. Nice 7x7 elk. Be back there in 15 days. Pics coming.

[lokidog]

Nice!  Heck of an elk there too. 

[Mark Brenckle]

Tagging along.   

[Timberstalker]

You need to kill that Elk as well..

[Widgeondeke]
