49 Degree North Moose

[DeKuma]

Thought you guys would be interested...  This is the SCI world record Shiras moose.  If you see one this big I would suggest shooting it.

Think my nerves would be too wasted to nail one this big!  He is a monster!

I drew this tag as well.  Live in the Snohomish area.  Planning on a scout sometime after Labor Day.  Thinking of making a hunt on the opener but somewhat concerned about warm weather.  Any one else have thoughts on this topic and getting your meat out and home without it spoiling.

I'd go the first week of the season because they're in the rut, and you'll have the woods to yourself the first three days before muzzleloader deer/elk season opens up. Just be careful when and where you shoot one. Stay close to the roads and try to kill your moose first thing in the morning when it's still cool. The way the weather's been lately, heat might not be a factor anyway.

If it was me, I'd take that week off work, and get over there early and have Sept 27-30 for scouting. That gives you four days to find the bull you want, so you can have him on the ground at first light opening morning. Another thing is there may be some archery hunters running around those last few days in September, and they'd be likely to tell you where they've been seeing moose.

It well cool down at night. If you hang your meat in the timber it should be ok for at least 4 days. Plenty of time to pack it out to a cooler.

Welcome mbutler, congrats on the best tag WA has to offer. Just incase you don't know the unwritten rules here, you get lots of help here but you have to tell us your hunting story complete with pics after the harvest. It is also highly recommended that you come back often and tell us about your other hunts.

Welcome Mbutler.  We have discussed this issue at length.  Congradulations on your tag.  Read through this moose post and some of the others and you'll get plenty of tips and advise.  You should get some contact info for me or a few of us that will be over there on the opening in case you get one down.  I'm willing to help any member on here pack or whatever.  I can take a few pictures if needed as well.  Feel free to PM me and get my contact info.

Heres one from our property that has tripple eyeguards but his paddles aren't big enough yet. Maybe by the time he sheds ??
