This is a good friend of mine.  I couldn't have been more excited for him when he told me he drew the tag.  He hunts hard and I have no doubts he will leave it all on the mountain.  Good luck brother!  Can't wait to hear the story on this one when it's all said and done.

A LOT of the forest circus land in Washington is controlled by IDAHO on the border. You can ride ATVs/ORV on those lands FYI. You'll need them licensed and insured .Also, check out Kings Lake.

Kaniksu National Forest is the name.

You might call the USFS in Nordman or near there and ask about moose in Washington State sightings.

Well scouting weekend number three was a success. We met some more great people in the area, that had info. We also located a very nice bull. Still no sign of any grouse though, not sure where they are? We covered several miles on mountain bike. Keeping fingers crossed for next week and already starting to lose sleep, thinking of moose. Question for the group, what works best in calling moose start with cow calls or bull grunts. I have watched several videos on calling moose and they are all different. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. And hopefully more to come, with a couple days left to scout before the opener. Come on Friday......

My gramps drew that permit in 2013 when he was 85 years old and he killed his bull in the first 30 minutes of entering the legal hunting area. I don't think you will have a problem.

I too drew the Selkirk bull Moose tag. A lot of my research has been via internet and word of mouth.  But one thing stands out biggest to me an that's the success rate for this unit.  WDFW reports 100% success rate for bulls in this unit for the last 5 years minus 1 year 2015.  I plan to scout the unit on Labor day weekend to get to the know the roads and such but will not be hunting the unit till November.  Ill keep you posted on what I see.  Good luck to you.

2015 was the fire year when I had the tag so success rates are skewed. It made for tough hunting having most of the middle of the unit closed & burnt. Still a great hunt considering!👍🏻 Good luck everyone!😎

Quick update that could help.  I saw a very respectable bull today with a cow between north and south baldy.  PM me if you want more info.  Good luck.

I killed a bull one hour into opening day. It was a bull we had found on one of our scouting trip. I will post pics and the story when i get home and have better internet service.

Very cool. Can’t wait to read about the adventure.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

If that was you rolling Westbound out of town on I90 about 5:20pm, my wife saw the rack and said it was a nice bull.
