Early Huckleberry Bull Moose tag drawn!

Could also add it's very unusual to go wandering around above Fruitland early in the am without seeing at least one or two moose. Can't say I've seen any bruisers but see them virtually every time I go up that way.

Thanks. We have been down that way on our  first trip over and plan on revisiting it on our next trip over. Although this heat still makes it tough to do much but look for fresh sign and learn roads. Might catch a moose out in the first or last couple hours of light and then they bury themselves in the willow draws. Saw one last trip only because we jumped a bear that ran into a draw and the moose came running out in front of him.

If you get in a bind I have 20 acres just north of Hunters I could probably let you park your trailer.  Locked gate entrance.  Probably be kind of a boon docking thing, but I have available water.

Awesome! Thank you. For now, we do have a place we are keeping our trailer so we don’t have to tow it back-and-forth every time. It is about 45 minutes from where we plan to camp, but still a lot shorter than pulling from the house every time. We were over for the weekend and saw a few moose. One okish bull, that was exciting. Only one month left!

Ran into this guy up Harvey Creek
  Not sure if he'd do or not

That's a nice bull.   

[HillHound]

Dang, that would definitely do. I am assuming last hunting season since he has no velvet?

[baldopepper]

Yes, that pic is last fall, but pretty sure I saw the same bull (I think) up there last week. Just got a quick look before he popped back into cover. Same general area and looked like could be the same bull.  Another one with him but couldn't get a good look at it, but seemed smaller.
