The guides just bedded this bull, a little weak on paddle length but great brows, he will make a nice mount. My fingers are crossed, hoping he doesn’t move too far overnight?

Zach and his hunter are on this bull this morning, waiting to hear if they got him.  :hunter:

Zach spotted the bull from long distance, they made a move on him closing distance as quick as possible. As they neared where the bull had been it was gone. They climbed to higher point trying to get a better look at the area and stumbled into a smaller bull that they chose to pass.

After glassing the area they moved around a bit trying to get different angles of view, finally they bumped the bull out of his bed that was out of sight and he stopped for a moment, Ed put one round where it counts and the bull went down in a few yards!

It appears to be the same bull spotted the day before season, weak on the paddles but good fronts, Glen notched his tag with a smile on his face, a lifelong dream of a Washington moose completed!

:yeah: I wish he was a year or two older, those paddles would be much better, this would be a very good bull in a few years, but in this day and age its a gamble to pass a bull that you would shoot on the last day. I used to tell moose hunters we would look at 5 to 10 bulls a day and to wait until we found the right bull, but we can't take that chance now that wolves and ticks have devastated the moose population, if a hunter likes a bull we don't try to talk them out of shooting it.

Awesome last bear!!!

Several years ago I found a cat track late in the evening, too late to turn out.  Plus it was less than a mile from the WA border.  I wondered what would happen if I had turned out and the dogs trailed over into WA.  I called the WDFW the next day and posed the question.  If I could clearly show that I started the track in Idaho, but the dogs treed the cat in WA, could I go in, get the dogs leashed up and head back over to Idaho.  They said if we catch you, you will be arrested.  I never released anywhere near the border.  Just wasn't worth it for me.  Glad Brian was able to go in and get them without any hassle!!

That figures, the big difference was it was in Montana, not "anti-hunting" State of Washington, thankfully!
