[Dr. Death]

Great advise everyone, it's going to be  long summer waiting for Oct 1...   Im like elkoholic1...I've already had some sleepless nights just thinking about it...

[Dr. Death]

Should be a fun post to watch, 3 any moose tags & 2 cow tags for that unit.... Keep the advice coming, cant get enough of it...although my better half is already tired of hearing about it and watching youtube moose videos....

i've regularly seen moose between miles 6&10 on Tacoma creek rd. You just can't hunt north of the road because of the survival school. I personally have seen 3 different bulls that were easily over 40". two of which i saw at the same time.

Thanks for all the info everyone, I appreciate it and Im sure the others do as well. I have a notebook started with your notes in it. I wont go unused once I get there...

When I had my tag I would wake up at 3am and couldn't sleep so I would go over my maps.

The reality is all moose look big to those who aren't used to seeing them, I also think given 4 to 5 days to hunt most guys should be able to find a really nice bull if they have self control, now if they want to dump a little one for tender eats that's another story.

[Dr. Death]

I took the 1st 2 weeks off, soooooooo I hopefully will find a good one 

I've youtubed every moose thing available I think, hunting, calling etc...any suggestions on others stuff to watch, study or read...?

patience and self control 101!!

So, who knows the magic way to tell a good scoring Moose? My goal is to get a P&Y bull.

Here's what I've gathered..3 brow tines & good paddles, what other things do I look for? How wide are their ears, is that a good way to tell what the spread is?

Shiras will be about 6"-8" across the top of the scull between the peds, you can use this to help gauge the width of the paddles. A good paddle will go 10", they are measured across the back toward the middle and into the web of the points. The points on each paddle are only counted as 1 point each regardless of length. Each point must be longer than its base width at the paddle or it does not count.

Length of the paddle is where a good score is made or lost. If the rack only has single brows you will lose several inches in length, so a double brow paddle will score much better than a single brow paddle. The length is measured at the top of the paddle but in the bottom of the web between the points, not at the tip of the top points. Basically picture the paddle with all the points cut off, that is how they are measured.
