MOOSE

[MountainWalk]

great great pictures. i have never hunted moose, but soon enough i will.  but i have all sorts of moose stories. i orta be a moose guide here in montana. without fail, i have never had a client not see a bull moose. i personally have a love/hate thing going with them. it never fails that when im packing by myself that i run into an ornery old bull . ive had them walk head on towards me, towards the middle of my string, ive even played ring around the tree with one them. i have been airborne more than once because they spook the living daylights out of my horse.     i have two primary horses, and both hate just the smell of them. no amount of coaxing will settle my critters down when there is a moose in view. wolf, cat, elk,deer, no problem.. moose, well, if i see a moose, i better get to thinking real quick on how to un-%*@! myself.

Ok, reading through these has gotten me in the mood for Moose for sure, great stories and pics for sure.  Here are a few of mine and the kids, granted they are from AK but, a moose is a moose and am hitting it again this year for another Caribou/Moose combo so might as well get into this discussion for the up coming season...   1st is a nice 54" I like it the best of mine cause it was symetrical.  2nd is kids first Spike fork.. 3rd A couple years down the road for the kid....  4th- Sad story, two idiots poached two right next to each other with one muzzle loader, they had time to reload.  Thankfully the meat was salvaged to a church, the horns were auctioned off and the two military guys got the book throw at them from AST.  It was on Fort Richardson Post where I worked with our Fish and Game guy discovering the incident...  By the way on heck of a hunt if you get drawn. low odds but a excellent Moose hunt...  Open to public too!!!!  Last one----is group together hanging out in afield, where my kid had a spike or 50" Youth tag, the 30" didn't care we were there at all.

Thanks for adding the pics.  I love any moose hunting... This year I am hoping for Montana, or New Hampshire, whichever one will take me....oh what the heck...Wyoming, Idaho for the Mrs. Maine, UTah, or even Washington again if I get REAL lucky.

Washington again if I get REAL lucky

I'd keep your mouth shut if you draw that one again

   I was thinking more along the lines of the raffle....or my wife drawing or Dad. 

however I think I have pretty good odds for drawing it in the regular draw EVEN IF I don't put in for it or am qualified for it.  AND.....if I do get drawn for it, doubt I will tell anyone either.

I'll just pay for the damn thing before they can take it away from me...that seems to work ok.

I'm sure the Moose Gods will be looking over you......

Just got everything reserved, I'm headed NE of Fairbanks to float 60 miles of river for caribou, moose and any wolf that gets in my way.  Sept. won't come fast enough.

I wonder how many times the 20 or so moose permit holders on here looked at these pics the last month.  GOOD LUCK GUYS!

I have the worst luck at drawing tags in WA. My buddy drew a watershed bull elk tag in 06, and his Dad drew the same tag in 07. My buddy came home with a 342 5/8 7x7, his dad let a boy from another camp shoot a 6x6 and came home empty. They draw a lot of tags, maybe they should apply for Moose!

I just seen this tread for the first time, the Moose on page 13 this first one dated 9/25/2007 I actually was in the tree stand just above this Moose, that was my first encounter with a Moose and It was awesome.  The property belongs to Joe and Jody from Sherman Creek Outfitter in Elk, WA.  The tree stand is called "The Pond Stand"  I heard that moose coming from a long distance while I was sitting in the tree waiting for deer and bear.  The moose hung out with me for about five minutes making all kinds of noises.  This was and incredible experience.
