So, finally drew my moose tag.  Have little knowledge of the area, hunted whiteys once about 15 years ago in the colville area.  Any members with wisdom, advise to pass on.  I am studying everything I can.  Plan to contact the biologist, and maybe timber companies to find out access issues.  Also plan on trying to get over a few times this summer and then more in September as best I can around my fire department schedule and getting my 13yo out for his first bow hunt.  Any advise will be greatly appreciated.  Am in no way a trophy hunter looking to top the books, but would like a mature bull.  Still trying to learn what standards to look for in judging bullwinkle.  Thanks in advance to all replies.

Thanks to you both.  I plan on doing a lot of research.  My hunting buddy spent hours online today, he is just as excited as me.

Here is the bull I got with my Selkirk tag last year.  PM me and I'd be glad to give you some advice.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Have seen several nice bulls in the Kalispel creek area...I think that is in the Selkirk Unit.  Good luck!!  Lots of photos and please come back and post all the details...we all live through the few guys who draw moose tags.
