Don't be surprised if you don't see any on your scouting trip. They HATE the heat. They will most certainly be near water. This time of year they mostly eat water vegatation. Pay close attention to drainages running or facing east, and north slopes. I haven't spent much time in 3, but I would stick to the northern part of the uni, or most specifically to the east of Hayden. Thats where most of the public land is anyway. I would take a gander at the country around the North Fork Cour de' lene and on Monumental, Badger, echo, and spades. Chilco used to have alot of coutry that was roadless. Let me know if oyu are interested in a traditional birchbark call. I make them for pretty darn cheap, and I have some limitied supplies left. I beleive they are way better than the plastic ones, and I have calld in a TON of moose with them. Have a fun scouting trip |

thank you, I am pulling out in a 1/2 hour for the 6 1/2 hour trip. I was thinking of spending some time in the SE portion along the small lakes But I will take some time on the North side. I thank you again, I will get back with you when I get home on the call. |

well I made it back. I seen 9 all together 2 bulls 3 cows 4 calfs. It is very brushy, (and I am coming from western wa) I am wondering how well they respond to calls. I think there are tons of moose there by looking at the sign. I am hoping to get them looking for me a little bit will help out when it come time to hunt. also any standard way of judging antler size? somthing like deer? |
