best draw for moose unit wise
whacker1:
Mt Spokane still has a good population of moose - I believe the difficulty with that unit is the big bulls are relatively protected by private property on the West & South Side. There is some access on the North Side and the Park up high. The East Side turns into Idaho. There are still a lot of moose and some with size coming off that hill, but it is the most difficult for folks from out of town to get permission to hunt, because of the small parcels of land (5, 10, 20, 40 acre parcels.)
Selkirk is my favorite for Big Bulls, but I would also say that it is one of the more difficult to hunt, because it is very brushy and overgrown. But there is a lot of escapement for animals, because it is very overgrown and brushy.

Moose is at the top of my list as far as an animal I would love to hunt and harvest. Ive got a few points built up and am always reflecting on where I am applying. Living and hunting in SW WA, I don't have intimate knowledge of the NE moose areas. After reading this old post from '09, it got me wondering what has changed in the last 5 years. Is 49 Degrees and Selkirk still the best place for a boot hunter (that has done his hw) to have opportunities at good bulls, hunt in beautiful moose country and have access to lots of public land? Have the wolves made much of an impact on the NE population or moose behavior? Ive had the Kettle Range/East Okanogan area as my third choice- thoughts? Would like to start putting in for a fourth choice but don't want to just "fill up" my choices. Just looking to generate conversation on the moose areas of our state. Thanks for sharing.

Any unit that starts with the letters "ID".

Get drawn, that's the hardest part. Any unit that there are tags for in this state have record class moose in them. Its not rocket science.

I would assume this is the case but in my experience in idaho the wolf's shows up an the moose left :dunno: I have no stats or credible sources except rumours an my observations but tha seemed to be the case an I dont think it would be any different in wa...
Thatd kinda suck to draw a moose tag where a big wolf pack has pushed all the moose out :dunno:
