British Columbia Shiras Moose Late Hunt
« on: December 31, 2015, 10:59:15 AM »
Went on a late November Shiras moose hunt in southern BC.  Had a great hunt, saw lots of moose and was able to connect with this good bull on the 4th day.  He was the 8th bull (and biggest) that we saw in 3.5 days.  It was interesting hunting these in the late season.  We actually saw most of our moose from about noon to 3 PM when they would come out of the timber and lay in the sun to warm up.

Would appreciate any info you care to share.  Thanks!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Our best day we saw 18 moose, 3 of which were bulls.  We averaged seeing about 10 moose per day.  It was weird glassing at first light and only seeing a couple of moose up and moving with most being bedded then seeing moose all over mid day in the bright sunlight.  We never did sleep in but you definitely could have!
