49 DN Moose

[tmike]

Sorry PA BEN I'm one of those damn teachers and have been a little busy. I'll try to update this a little better. I have gathered a ton of info from members here and the other site. I also sent out letters to all of last years permit holders asking them if they didn't mind sharing some info to call me otherwise throw the letter away. My phone has rung off the hook with those guys also. If any of those guys are here thanks. I'll do the same. I've made 3 trips over and learned the unit pretty well. If fact besides a couple more areas I've switched my focus on trying to find specific bulls i want to go after. I've seen 9 pretty good bulls and there are 2 in particular at this point I'd like to get a better look at. One we have seen twice in the same spot, a double brow bull that by others estimates (not mine I'm not good enough yet) is 45 plus with nice long points and deep paddles. The other bull I haven't seen but others have that is a 3x2 on the brows and a solid 50. I have that one narrowed down and hope to get a real good look at him through my scope or sites. It hard to sort out all the info, but you will find if you have one of these tags that everyone is willing to help. I'm going to try and get over there the weekend before the 1st and get another look at some of those bulls. I also have a couple guys who live in the area looking and that is really cool. I'll let you know how this unfolds. I want a solid bull, but am realistic about holding out for a 50 although from what I hear that's attainable in the 49DN. What ever I get will be fine with me, the experience has been great so far.

Thanks, keep us informed

Well time is growing short. Good luck to all those with tags. I just got back from my 4th and last scouting trip. I have one bull I'm going to try for on Friday or at least look over real good again, then after that who knows. I've seen several bulls and have looked at a lot of country. My muzzle loader and rifle are dialed now it's just finding the one and getting it done. Maybe Friday will be the day! Thanks again for those who provided me with info and also to those who are still keeping an eye out.

I was hoping you took that moose with your smoke pole.  Great work.
