49' Moose Tag

[wrongway]

sounds like you are having a good time, I will see you on the hill for late buck

Don't want to have to shoot that little one in self defense, they sure do come in good though.

Well finally made it back in... had my toughest decision yet.....we decided to drive today and check out different spots. Saw a small bull and cow this morning, passed....driving around to look for a new spot to try to get into where Mr Big is at and we I spot one bedded down, 256 yards in a select cut timber area....O tell my dad to get out the spotting scope. I check him out and see he's about 40+" perfect matching palms with a double, tripple brows....Huh! I start texting everyone, Shane, Eric, My wife..asking about ear width, palm size ect... We watched him in his bed for 2 hours deciding and texting what to do....finally he stands and stretches just like a cat....I decide that if I can get him with my bow I'd do it easy...Well he doesn't come in because he has a cow and calk and smaller bull with him....he starts to wander off...I grab the 300 and tell my dad to get  the camera and video it...well I just couldn't do it...had the crosshairs on him, safety off and finger on the trigger. I just have my heart set on doing it with my bow, unless he's 50+ inches.....My dad says he understands, but if he had the tag he wouldn't have let him get out of his bed.... ....we'll see if I regret this decision...Shane guaranteed me a 47" one LOL....sorry bro had to throw that in! I need a drink....adios for the night!

Food for the table? its OIL opportunity make the best of it all about the experience ..that was the case I sure wouldnt be applying for a moose tag for meat I d be in MT shooting does for the freezer.

The trigger finger does get itchy after a few days on these hunts.  Way to stick to your guns sounds like a pretty good one though, can't wait for tomorrows update.

[lokidog]

Keep at it.  Thanks for the updates.     Kind of short on pics though.....   

[huntnnw]

ill add some vid clips of bulls starting tomorrow when I get there

[Dr. Death]

Meat on the table is taken care of....thats why I shot my elk opening day this year. All so I could experience this whole hunt since I'll never get to do it again....I do have video of todays bull. I'll let Shane load it since I'm a maroon when it come to that stuff...It was a very tough call today, I would have if I didnt see a 50+ the day prior to the opener...I have video of him to...I'll just give Shane my camera.....

Way to keep after it! There is plenty of time for a food on the Table bull come the last weekend of the season! Go out there and arrow a 50 incher!

Stick with the plan you will get the big one it;s so much fun you never know whats around the corner we saw a really big bear but did;nt shoot because it;s where we were seeing moose. It looks like it;s getting colder.

[runningboard]

good luck with the rest of your hunt, thanks for the updates. with your decision to hold out, I'm betting you get the 1 you want

[Skyvalhunter]

Don't give your camera to Shane he will just drop it and bust it.

[JPhelps]

Kill a big one guys!
