I don't think there is an average. I dont believe the points help a whole lot since the majority of the applicants are going to have the maximum number of possible points, or at least close to it. If you look at the total number of moose permits available and the total number of applicants, it comes out to about 1 in 162 odds. That means as an overall average you would/should draw a moose permit once every 162 years! So really there is no way to answer your question. It's like asking how many years does it take to win the Lotto.

Congrats on that too.

If you read my post a few months ago about drawing a moose tag it was obvious I was worried about drawing before I passed on. I figured it would take 20 years at the rate it was going but was willing to keep paying the money and sticking with it in the mean time. Of course I only put in for one area so I believe my odds were even worse. I figured that if I ever did luck out and draw a one time shot, it was going to be the one unit I really wanted and for a bull.

PB, are you going opening day?

Before I moved from my home town (Chewelah) 3 1/2 yr's ago, there was a guy who drew his first year and his wife drew the next year. That's just not right. >:(

So why is it that all these moose pics are starting to show up, I find it hard to believe that I missed all these until now. Here is another I just saw in the "Random Photo" pop-up. What the hail gives, I'm having a difficult time getting sleep as it is. Where was this one taken and how big is it? Would I be okay taking one like this, it looks like a shooter according to the info everyone has been posting.

Phool, if you pass on that one above, you are crazy.  That's like a record bull.  Problem is, I don't think it's a Shiras I'm sure.  See how long those paddles are?  Crazy.  You need to start looking at Shiras bulls because if you look at too many Alaska bulls you are going to miss a good Shiras.  Kind of like cous deer hunting.  If you are looking at whitetails all day and then go cous hunting even a big cous looks small.  There are great sites in Wyoming of outfitters that shiras hunt and they have tons of kill pictures.

Here is a show called Outdoor World and Bob Foulkrod killed a nice shiras on it from Idaho.  It's on the second half of the show:

Here is the link to a site I would go to every other day to look through their moose kills.  These are all shiras bulls and most are B&C size.  I'd kill about every one on this list of pictures.  
http://www.barlowoutfitting.com/moose.htm

Those are a couple of things I would look at to tide me over on my moose fix.  I'll post some others for you as well.
