As it has been said, with moose it seems you see a several or you see none. Keep on it and it will happen.  Enjoy where you are and what your doing, it will come together.

Relax.  Anyone that has draw a good tag knows about the extra pressure that you feel with it.  Take a deep breath and relax a few days and go kill a OIL bull.

Stick with it bud. My buddy drew a moose tag last year in one of the less desirable units. We didn’t even see a moose for 5 days. Then bam it happened! You’ll be fine. Take a deep breath and regroup. Stay positive! It will happen!

I know the exact feelings your going through. I drew the exact same tag last year. We made several scouting trips and saw numerous animals on each trip over. Right before the season started we had a significant snow storm. That made getting around the unit damn near impossible. We could still access some areas down low and made the best of what we could but we couldn't make it to any of our scouted areas. I ended up burning up all the vacation time I had to hunt the first week of the season. I passed a small bull on the first day. After that the only other bull I saw was one that another tag holder had just harvested. I went home frustrated, stressed out and worried I wasn't gonna be able to make it happen. After a bit of time home I was able to make a second trip over and ended up killing my bull on t
Oct 20th. You still have time. It only takes one. Keep your head up.
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

I was in this same situation with my Mount Spokane moose tag two years ago. October was horrible for me but by November 17th, when you finally could see more clearly, it became way easier and I got a moose. Just keep at it. Everyone else is right. Keep positive and keep going. You will be rewarded.

No such thing as give up with a moose tag in your pocket. I had better luck in November when I had my tag 5 years ago

Still lots of season left! Moose will become more visible the later it gets. Also be sure to be in the moose zone (where youve seen moose or fresh sign) very early as the first minutes of daylight can be critical.

Good luck!

The rut definitely isn't over and the best time to see moose is yet to come.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Sometimes you see things when you are not looking for them, go look for some grouse  :twocents:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Saw that too Jason!  Looked like a nice paddle even from the close up view! Hope he posts soon!
