hey everybody i was drawn this year for a moose in the Mt. Spokane region last year of my youth hunt so i got it at just the right time and i was wondering if i could get any tips or anything like that would be extremely appreciated.
-
good job, I haven't hunted moose before, but there is a lot of info on here about them.
do some searching in here and you'll find some great info. As I can tell, the guys that hunt them that are on here will be lots of help. Don't forget to take a camera, we want pictures and the story..................good luck.
-
What kind of info would you like Sams. Take a gander on here and read what you find, then shoot me a pm with any specific questions and I would be happy to help you.
-
if you need info fire me a pm, i live within 10 miles of the best moose area in the region.
-
I went wood cutting today, I literaly jumped moose every place I fell a tree.....I bet you are tagged out by now.
-
sam92...where are you, bud?? we need an update.
-
Sam, the moose are everywhere up there. shouldne be aproblem. Just put some time in and you will score.
-
I was up there a few times over the last 2 weeks and saw moose everytime. Last time in I saw 4 bulls in 1 evening. Nothing huge but a couple real wide buggers. We did see 1 on the east side of the Thompson Cr. drainage that looked pretty big in the spotting scope. But he was a long way off. If you spend anytime at all glassing the clearcut areas in the evenings.... you'll get one.
Good luck!

ya well my tag doesnt start until the first and im heading over to spokane in about a week and a half so when we go up we'll hope fully get one that first week cause i got school and everything but if i dont my dad and i are going back up sometime in november hoping there isnt that much snow on the ground cause that might cause some problems.
-
Good luck and keep us posted.
-
sent you a PM.
-
sam november is the month that everything changes. on the first there might not be much if any snow, by the 31st there will likely be at least 3 feet higher up. don't be discouraged!
-

We were there last weekend also helped the guy with the 35" lucky guy shot it down in the hole it ran up the hill and dropped in the middle of the road had to pull him to the side to let hunters by. We seen 5 bulls and 1 cow on sat. that my son could not get a shot at will be back this weekend for another go we will be in a white dodge ram w/canopy if you see us stop and say hi Justin my 12 y/o is already getting worried about not getting a moose. Good luck SAM!

well guys i got my cow on thursday it wasnt one of the biggest but i figured i better take it while i had a chance cause i only had a week and it was almost up and heres how it went it was around 5:20 or so and we were starting to head down since we were a ways up the hill well on our way we saw a cow moose standing in the road and so we jumped out and it started to turn and go down the road pretty quick and i got my .270 out, planning to use the 7mm but i was too slow loading the shells, so i got the clip in and followed down the road almost shot once but then she turned and started walking away again so i didnt take the shot but then we were following her tracks and it looked like she went up into the bushes and trees but we walked a few feet down the road farther my dad looked around the corner while i watched the hill and there she was just standing there broadside great shot so i took my 270 shot her once pretty sure it was in the vitals but i reloaded the chamber and after she jumped i took another shot and she went down i was surprised how well the 270 worked but it did the job im getting the pics developed right now and thanks for all the info guys
-
Congrats! Can't wait for the pics.

Congratulations Sam92! It sounds like you got yourself a lot of great tasting meat!
