Idaho 12-2 Lolo Moose Hunt
« on: August 16, 2016, 05:30:01 AM »

I am as guilty as everyone else when it comes to checking draw results.  When that season is upon us I use the front door, the back door, and the revolving door of checking draw results every couple hours.  This year was no different. 

I remember the moment the idaho draw results became available because i had just finished my last timed wind sprint.  My ex-marine buddy and I had been training together for several weeks and after my last sprint, my phone dinged.  Pulling it out of my pocket, I saw that the idaho draw results were available.  In between gulps of air, i tried to check my results.  No dice, I needed a number of my license to check.

That night i logged in to the idaho website and entered the number to check.  I do not remember quite what it said other than that i was unsuccessful in the draw.  Oh well I figured, thats par for the course.

Several weeks later i took "the walk" to the mailbox that i take every day after school.  Now for me, success in getting the mail usually means finding no bills or a new issue of Western Hunter magazine.  I was shocked to see a letter from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.  The memory of checking my unsuccessful draw results made me think that this must be the "better luck next year" letter.  I opened the letter and found an idaho moose tag.

"Jackpot".

Wow. Really disappointed in myself. Really wanted to write this entire experience up. More difficult to do the more time passes. I still have the memories and perhaps i can share them later on. Have friended some great people so far and gotten some good advice.

Two scouting trips and a few trail cameras tell me i have picked three good areas that have moose in them. Friends in the area have even confirmed via messenger that there are moose there this week. I will leave on Friday but can have to return to the west side on sept 5.

If you are hunting any where near 12-2 and are willing to help with packing out a moose or if you want to exchange intelligence... dont hesitate to PM.
