I found a rut pit, and was subsequently charged by a rather large bull while standing there a few years ago.  I did not have my phone/onx when that happened but know, and can pin on a map, within 100yards of that spot, if you want it to go check out when scouting. 

Also, I’ll be up in the area a lot this fall at our property, though will be spending October chasing moose in 49 degrees, but if we are tagged out and or after that season ends, I’d be happy to drive and search for a November bull if your tag goes that long.
I appreciate that 92xj. Ill send you my phone #.   Thanks

The ones I visited in Canada were hit every year for as long as my buddy owned the place.   Not sure if that was a one off case or not.

Also, don’t expect to see a lot of moose scouting, I’d get some cameras up, I was able to locate a bull that way.  Knew he was in the area and saw him w my own eyes, wasn’t a shooter back then.  I scouted (from the westside) every other weekend, saw maybe 2 bulls and a couple cows before the hunt started.  Put over 100 miles a day on my truck during the season, 5 days before to day 10 when I killed my bull.  Enjoy every moment!!!
I'm assuming there isn't any cell phone reception over there.  I'm going over next weekend and will stock up on some regular cameras. It's good to know that if I see something during scouting it's a bonus. My main mission this trip is learning the road system, looking for sign and getting some cameras out.

I generally have service up higher in the southern part of 113.
