We have the gun sighted in and shells loaded and if saturday does;nt hurry up and get here my grandson might explode. I have never seen him so excited he has been here at our house more this last month than the last two years so hope he gets to see a nice one. These pictures are just about to get him.

Post by: boneaddict on September 27, 2012, 07:15:35 AM: Take a photo of his face when the first one is coming in. I missed my daughters face last year. I was impressed she thought she could hide behind me. LOL. I had three bulls coming in at once and it was going to be a party and none of them wanted to be late. VERY COOL. I so wish I could have captured her face.

I think those two bulls were in your unit, but neither had a good rack, the bull with the smaller rack probably outweighed the other bull by 100+ and seemed more dominant. He was the one we watched dig the scrape.

Title: moose pics needed !!
Post by: Ridgerunner on September 28, 2012, 11:33:34 AM: I'd pass on that guy early in the hunt if you are looking for a trophy, it's a younger bull and probably only about 40 wide. The problem with moose is they all look big, but if you really study the rack you will be able to tell the bigger bulls.

Post by: elkoholic1 on September 28, 2012, 11:38:45 AM: thats what i was thinkin ridge besides coach probably kick my ass if i shot him openong week lol
Title: Re: moose pics needed !!
Post by: bucklucky on September 28, 2012, 11:43:54 AM: That was #2 in the state for muzzy and is 40 wide with nice mass. Its a nice bull, not a monster but solid.

Post by: mkcj on September 28, 2012, 06:51:34 PM: I love Moose hunting! My Dad booked hunts for a native guide in Canada for 42 years. The last week of the season was always Dad's and friends (and me). He never missed a season in 42 years. Have a great time it really is an experience you won't forget.
