Idaho Moose Success
« on: September 23, 2023, 05:51:25 PM »
Well, beating the odds on getting an OIL Idaho Moose tag as well as a Wyoming mountain goat tag in the same year was not the end of my luck. we got to what would me moose camp for the next couple weeks on September 8th. I pulled the 26' travel trailer with my Can-Am Commander side by side in the back of the truck, It's a load but the Duramax has done it many times to a number of states. The next day a long time friend who lives near by showed up with his side by side and overland camp trailer in-tow behind it.

Internet in lower moose camp is slow and clunky. I'll try to keep this moving.

On my way home from my next hunt, Wyoming mountain goat. Hopefully will have time to get pics posted etc. soon. It's been a heck of a season so far, two successful OIL hunts back to back.

My moose story just came out in Epic Outdoors. I've known Jason Carter for years, I used to trap with his uncle when I was a young lad. He asked me to write up a story about the moose hunt for the magazine a while back so I whipped one up and sent it in. When my cousin Scott who was with me when I shot the bull and myself & daughter were at the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo in Salt Lake City a couple weeks ago we talked to Jason and my daughter Mikaela told Jason she wanted one of the pic's with her in it to be in the magazine, lol. Jason told her, "done deal". She's pretty stoked about it.
