Run into them all the time archery hunting for deer. Freezout/Lookoutis starting to get quite a few Moose. Roger lake, you can watch them eating in the water.  Friend saw one next to Conconelly, cow, and calf.

Great pics!

I've heard of a few sightings this spring as well.
Great pics. We need a poo pic thread.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

You can watch them eating in Roger lake so long as you don't mind being covered by mesquitos!  :chuckle: Boy, as far as lakes are concerned that has to be one of the buggiest in the valley!
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

I remember when I first saw moose poop.  I was like, "that's a reaaaaalllly big elk."  Then I got home and was able to confirm what it was from my tracking book.  Cool pic's

I saw fresh sign this in may way up off of loop loop.  Had been there within the last 20 min.  Wish I would have stayed and looked around for it

35mil?  That is some old school stuff.  My friends own the silverline resort and began to see them last year around that area.

The country behind P lake had the highest population of them in the Valley.  The fire misplaced them a couple years back.  That was like sending a Que ball into a fresh rack on a pool table.   They are now scattered in all sorts of pockets all over the valley.  I'm keeping tabs on a giant bull I am hoping to get photos of this year lower in the valley.  If I see it, you'll see it. 

With such a giant burn up there, their feed is going to go through the roof as I hope their population does.

FYI..I meant the eastside of the state and Methow area.  If anyone can live over there, they are blessed.  I truly envy people living on the eastside.  I am stuck over here slaving for the Big B right now.  Maybe someday, I can move the family to that side.

Nice pics, glad to hear there are moose moving into other parts of Washington. I wished this state was as concerned about getting moose all over the state as they are about getting wolves everywhere to eat them.

I have always wished there were elk in the methow area.
