NWBREW Aladdin Moose 2015

I doubt it will take you a month to get a good bull in that unit, that's a good tag.  Good luck.

congrats, you should have a great hunt, looking forward to your story and photos

Thanks everyone. I picked up 4 more trail cams today. I hope to make it over July 4th weekend to get all in place. I'll check them when I go back up in September and reset. I believe a new 45-70 may be in order now.

Man, this sounds like it will be an epic hunt.  Hope you kill a dandy!!

45/70 is a super cool round it is like throwing a bowling ball at them.  I love my Marlin XLR 45/70 and it is a 300 yard gun all day long.

Congrats on your tag, I got the early Aladdin A tag. Don't feel bad about getting drawn with your point total, I only had 8 and I don't feel bad. I see you live in Arlington when not at your cabin. I live there too on Jim Creek Rd. If you want to get together to talk all things moose let me know.

I'll get a hold of you towards the opener. I will have checked cams by then.

Congrats on the moose tag!

45-70 for sure!  What rifle you going to get?

I put in for the late Alladin with 16pts with a "not selected" result but I'm can't complain cuz I drew a WY moose tag this year.  Going to take my 1874 Sharps in 44-77 with paper patch loads for that one.

Look forward to your scouting and ultimate trip report.

45/70 rifles are pretty cool. I had a marlin lever action that i killed a couple elk with. It left me wanting more... so i got a bolt gun in 375 h&h. Much happier with it. All in what you want. A 45/70 will no doubt freight train a bull moose!  good luck! I cant wait to read everyones moose posts!

Quick update. I just purchased a 2007 Marlin lever 45-70 22" barrel rifle. Perfect condition, never had a scope mounted to it. Just what I was looking for. My buddy is going to do up some loads for me (he has a ruger #1). Plenty of time to sight it up and get comfortable with it. I'll post some pics later.

Finally got to buy a gun I've always wanted and have a good reason.

WOOHOO, I'm going on a moose hunt!

[CAMPMEAT]

Nice. I have one in 450 Marlin & ported too.

Congrats to you on your upcoming hunt. My wife drew the early Douglas tag. we're not familiar with the unit yet. If you have any scouting tips your willing to part with, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Sounds like a nice gun for your hunt!

  a case full of imr4198 and Hornady hollow point (can't remember if it was 300 or 350 grain) were money in mine! I had a straight 6 power scope. I'll try and dig out a recovered pill and post a pic. Have fun with it!
