Post by: Bob33 on January 24, 2013, 02:24:07 PM: Interesting. How many moose are estimated to be in that area?

Post by: danderson on January 24, 2013, 02:25:49 PM: Yearling, I seen two cows last fall up the valley, this was the calf i'm guessing, I seen one other bull about 4 years ago in the same area, was about 24 inches then.

Probably a pack of wolves chasing it :bash: I'm getting real sick and tired of these darn wolves!! I would always see a bunch of animals along the highway but not any more with these wolves!

Post by: villageidiot on January 27, 2013, 05:16:40 PM: Those moose won't last long. Wolves love elk more than deer but absolutely crave moose. Yellowstone can not confirm for sure if they have a single moose left. Say goodbye to the Teanaway moose.

Post by: Fishaholic on January 27, 2013, 05:24:59 PM: sure is a shame. wish i could have a back strap and s shoulder roast for jerkey. never has moose before is it any good?
Title: Re: Teanaway Moose down

Post by: Scottystyle on January 27, 2013, 11:03:46 PM: Moose IMO is the best meat there is. My Canada moose, granted it was a younger bull... even the neck meat was tender. :cue: I drool in my sleep over finding a way to another moose hunt :chuckle:

Post by: mkcj on January 28, 2013, 12:15:52 AM: We seen a cow and a calf Friday night around midnight, 7 miles from the turn at Pateros right before black canyon creek on our way to Winthrop. They were laying in a field right next to the road and got up and walked away when we stopped to look at them. I have never seen them that low in the valley all though I have heard of them down that way.

I have to agree, the moose up there will be easy pickings to predators as the snow drives them down, deer numbers have already dropped to as low as I have ever seen, when the food supply runs out the wolfs will move on, next stop the Joe Watt.
