If you get Huckleberry PM me. I spend a lot of time up there and Always see a ton of moose. I have no idea how one scores these beasts but I would not hesitate on a few of these bulls I see on a regular basis. Ridgerunner drew too and I offered the same help. I'll make it a point to bring a camera and try to get some pics for you. I see them all the time but have only taken a few pics. I'll be hunting a bit up there in Aug and sept for my buddies bear and for some grouse so if I get some pics I'll post them up and you can judge for youself. I'll say this without hesitation, if you get Huckleberry and have a week to hunt, you will shoot a nice bull. No question in my mind.

What a great time for both of you.  I just remember walking around with my gun and thinking, this is so foreign.  If I see a huge black moose I can shoot it.  It was a wierd feeling to be hunting such a foreign animal to me.  I felt lucky.

Take as much help as possible...becuase my moose fell 1/4 mile from the road and it took 2 guys over 8 hours to get it to the car...  It was tiring too, just holding up one of the huge legs to quarter it and stuff.  Luckily I had snow and could pack my quarters to cool in the snow.  However, what if it's 80 degrees and it's 1 mile from the road?  It would be nice to have a guy to go buy ice for the coolers and stuff.  It's a really fun dilema...

My advice would be to take the time to take lots and lots of pictures, I only have 2 photos of the first moose I shot and it was already back at the cabin and none of the second  :bash: cause there was a brown bear spotted in the area so we had to move fast.

It will be a bit overwhelming at first but take your time and deal with it the same as you would an elk just on a larger scale, they are not much different only bigger and in my opinion better eating as well !!  :drool:

I can't wait to see the photos of a successful hunt and read the stories !!!

I'm thinking if the draw lined up right we might just have to have a first annual Hunt-WA moose camp.   :IBCOOL:

Oh you'll get lots of help........both of you.  I don't care how many permits I have.  Moose is the ticket.  If nothing else a moose calling clinic, you did teach me to bait my own hook for gosh sakes.  Gun or bow?  for either one of you. I can get them in to about 30 feet or less the rest is up to you. :chuckle:  Now I can go public wiht ym findings
