best draw for moose unit wise

[rasbo]

what area has the best moose population?And for someone that dont know the areas,which do you think would be the best pick?

[270Shooter]

Never hunted moose, but I'd say 49 or selkirk.

[boneaddict]

What would make you say those two 270?

[270Shooter]

Because those two have a lot of public land and a lot of bull tags. I think units with less bull tags may have bigger bulls, like Huckleberry. But there isn't very much public land there.

I believe the last bio report said that hangman had the "highest density" of moose.  It also has probably towards the least amount of tags.  Huckleberry is on the climb.  49 and Selkirk are BIG units with some Big country in it.  I think you have the best trophy potential in Selkirk as there are more places to get away.  The general idea is the closer to the boundary you go the bigger the bulls (canadian crossover).  The Selkirk has much tougher country to hunt.  49 has alot more access( road).  It can be legitimately argued that there are huge bulls in every unit that a tag is offered.  Just get one and you'll be happy.

First choice 49, second choice Huckleberry, third choice Aladdin, fourth choice Selkirk.

I think it totally depends on what you want out of the experience really all the units are good just different those who hunt selkirk will have a much different experience than those who hunt like hangman or mount spokane drawing the tag is the toughest part

[Wea300mag]

For someone who doesn't know the areas I would use the stats that the WDFW provide to choose and, if I remember correctly, 49 Deg N has the best stats. For me, any of the four choices I put down would be fine because I just want to go moose hunting.

exactly What Ridge said
What is your hunting style?

[PA BEN]

After drawing a tag last year for 49 and talking to members here and being from Chewelah and have talked to a lot of my friends over there, you will find good numbers of moose in all area's. I would plan on hunting behind gates, less pressure. Hangman has a lot of Private property, harder excess. I would talk to someone who has hunted Hangman before I put in for it.

ain't that a fact! One of these years I guess I might be able to draw.

Well I hunted hard for 27 days in 49DN and I can assure you there are trophy class bulls in that unit. 22 of those days I was after a bull that a lot of people put at 60" we looked at him from 30 yards for 2 1/2 hours and came up with a spread of about 57" and a score of 170+ I finally found him again on Nov. 24th and was crushed to find he had dropped one side That gave me only a few days to regroup and find another big bull. You all know how the story ends but let me tell you there are potential record bulls in 49

[bobcat]

Well I hunted hard for 27 days in 49DN

That 27 days is sure going to make the stats for that unit look bad, on the "Average Days/Kill" column.     I see in '07 it was 4.39 days per kill.

[NWTFhunter]

All you guys saying Huck are seeing things... there aint no moose on that side of the Highway, they all stay on the east side......
I got a good feeling this year that I am going to draw

[Ridgerunner]

i know of another unit that at least one b&c bull was left on the mountain< 

the only unit i haven"t heard great things about lately is mount spokane its seen better days i believe
