Awesome pics Doug, so when I get my Dad to put one on the ground, can I call you up to come over for the dead Moose photo-op?  Silent Bob may even come over and do some packing for us!

Anytime Jay.   I'll be closer to your neck of the woods than you might know about that time. :)

Great bull, congratulations!  Must have been a pretty special experience with your dad there as well.

Just in gas, this hunt was crazy. Doug from Yakima to SW MT, my dad from N. Idaho.. buddy from Billings, 2 buddies from Missoula... plus my scouting trip, me from Billings and a friend from St. Ignatius, MT...  I bet gas alone was well over 1500$.... but well worth it! That was really the only expense....

I would agree, gas prices are the biggest expense of a hunt.  When I had the Selkirk tag, even living here in Spokane,  I probably had over $500 in gas just with scouting trips. But damned if I wouldn't spend that every year if they'd just give me a Moose tag every year, and I bet you would agree Ernie!  Just going nuts till I leave Wednesday to go help my Dad with his tag.  I keep coming back and looking at your pics Ernie, you killed just a dandy, dandy Moose, love the mass on him.  Believe me if I can find one like that for my Dad, I'll be doing my best impression of Troy Landry yelling "Choot him Elidabet!" :chuckle:

Congrats on a great hunt well done.  It's a great feeling to put a big one down, and that is a very nice one, memories you will never forget.
