So far, I am thinking the first week for the rut and the last two weeks when the leaves drop.
I have never been on a Moose hunt and do not know anything, other than what I have been told and read.
I am trying to do as much reading and internet searches as possible, but not much about Washington timing.
Any information would be greatly appreciated,
Thank You in advance,
John

I had a 49DN tag about 15 years ago. The thing that struck me is that everyone is willing to help someone with a tag like that. Unlike deer and elk where hunters are reluctant to share information, it's just the opposite with an OIL tag. Everyone I met wanted to help and give me information.
I made multiple scouting trips during the summer. On average I saw one to two moose per day.
If you want a good, representative moose you should have no trouble filling the tag your first week. If you are looking for a record book animal it may take longer. If you wait until late November you may encounter snow which makes tracking easier and travel more difficult.
Good luck. You should have a great time.

I have to do my homework so I do the tag justice.

In Idaho its the way to go. We only use them there. The timber companies allow them bhind the locked gates. Our honey hole is about a 45 minute ride behind the gate. Makes it easier to get in and out. A lot of fun! And the funny thing is, the timber companies allow this access, and there is absolutely no trash, no trails made off the road. People respect the priviledgeOf Course! Check out more photos at www.zgoutdoors.com (http://www.zgoutdoors.com)Hunt the rut. Its crazy fun!Kglacken

I was just over there hunting for wolf. We put on nearly 300 miles on our ATV's, behind gates etc. NO TRASH, NO OFFROADING and Idaho supports it 100 %......
To bad Washington State won't pull there heads out of the sand ( not really the term I want to use ) I'll spend my money over there instead of trying to spend it here. :tup:

Those are a couple of beauty bulls! I can imagine how much fun it was for all of you!
That mystery ranch pack sounds great! That's a huge, heavy load. I'll have to have a look at one.
Good luck on the rest of all of your guy's hunting adventures this season.

The coolest part (to me) is how many HW dudes jumped in to make it a hunt of a lifetime for you. Well done by all!
Post by: jae on October 05, 2014, 09:14:10 PM
The anticipation before the hunt, scouting and preparation was awesome, spending time with friends was priceless. It is an experience that we will never forget.
Calling in these animals is incredible. Mark was the only experienced moose hunter in the group until Chris showed up. They both did very well and taught us all we know. That for Me is not very much.
The day I harvested the first Moose, Mark had spotted a cow and a calf at about 1:00pm I moved ahead so He could call for me, another Moose started moving in immediately making a ton of noise and came in to about 15 feet from me (small bull). Mark kept calling, breaking branches and raking small bushes and trees. Several minutes later a larger bull with one horn came in to about 30 yards. Wow what a rush.
The Moose finally buggered out. We went back up to the old road. We stared to leave the area, got about three hundred yards away and decided to go back and hunt the top side of the hill. As soon as we came around the ridge and could see a larger bull was coming down and come out onto the old road. Me being unsure of a shooter, I asked for Marks approval and He stated, SHOOT IT, SHOOT IT. I could not be any happier.
I also have to thank all that participated in the hunt Butch, Mark, Glenn, Kevin, and Chris.
I had a great time hunting and camping with You all, Great Time!!!!!!!!!!
I will let Butch comment on His hunt.
Thank You all,
John
