It also doesn't let you take many pics because you're on your shooting sticks just in case......
I probably saw 8-12 moose per day (half being bulls) so somewhere in the 60-80 range for the week. Obviously some bigger ones but didn't have a camera to get good photos. Early on in the week, I probably wasted too much time calling in bulls I wasn't going to shoot but it was so much fun watching them come from 300 yds right up to you I couldn't resist.
Here are some cell phone pics so must of them are inside 20 yds......A few started to come closer and weren't stopping so I got the hell out of there.
About ran this guy over...........

Better shot one before they drop those horns, it can happen fast, I have a buddy that found a freshie last year on veterans day.
Not going to settle because I'm worried about them falling. ;)
Been slow but hopefully the weather gets them settled down a bit. Saw the same bull over a mile away. Heading back over again this weekend and will do a better job (hopefully) of getting pics. Preferably one on the ground. BTW, the drive from the wetside sucks late at night and for quick weekend trips!

I had to attend my daughter's first grade "play" on Thursday night but wanted to be able to hunt all day Friday so decided to leave that night. Whacker1, whom I never met, was gracious enough to offer up a place to sleep in his wall tent whenever I rolled into the mountains. He had seen a great moose and was willing to show me where to go. So, I got into his camp around 11:30 or 12 that night and we told a few stories and hit the sack. It was freaking cold. Not sure how much we slept, but had to get up a 4am. I had another spot I wanted to hit first thing in the morning so I told him I would meet back up on Saturday with him. I can't tell you guys what a great guy he is and glad I got the chance to meet him. I owe Neil!
Funny thing is, I called Coach on the way over and we talked for about 45 minutes BS'ing about hammering bulls this weekend. Glad it worked out Buddy! We did it.

At about that time I see a tank come over the ridge down to meet them. He was a pig...laid out flat and I swear 60'. No brainer.......I throw some shells in and jump out of the truck on my sticks. As soon as I get out of the truck he does a quick 180 and barrels back over the ridge. All I see is his *ss and paddles that were completely flat way, way outside of his ears. A true giant. I was going after this bull.
There was about 6' of snow so was pretty easy to get on his tracks. I trailed him for 2-3 miles through all kinds of crap. Finally he comes out on a road. I call for backup, eat lunch and wait for two buddies. We spend the rest of the day tracking this pig.
Finally dark approaches and we have to call it a day. He was so big I wanted to pick it up again in the morning so first thing we all meet back up and start acting like hound dogs again. We spent all morning going through timber, clear cuts, etc. only to lose him back into the same clear cut I initially saw him. About a 5 mile loop through patches there is now way you could imagine a moose getting through. I was totally bummed and exhausted and not sure what to do for the remainder of the day.
I was going to wait until evening and see if he showed back up. But, Benhuntin called and he was out deer hunting and said he saw a decent bull pushing the 170' mark and close to 50'. He was two hours away but what the hell. I was tired and needed a change of pace. So, I went to meet up with him.

For no apparent reason he just jettisons on us and follows a finger down into the bottom. It's about 2pm so I decide I'm just going to walk down into the bottom where there was an old spur road that was completely full of moose tracks and sit there til dark in hopes of getting a better look at that bull. Ben tells me he's going back deer hunting and will come back at dark to see how things went.
Off he goes and I get all packed and layered up.
Not five minutes later while I'm just locking up the truck he comes screaming down the road. "Get in! get in!smoker bull up the road. It has 13-14 points on his left side." So, I jump in his rig and off we go.
Patience Boys! All good things come to those who wait. :tung:

As soon as I get out of the truck he's heading up hill and I can't get a clear shot. Ben and I run up the hill a bit to get a different angle because there were so many jack pines I couldn't see him. He's with another solid bull so I needed to make sure I shot the right one. Then, he pops out and Ben yells "don't shoot".....he and the other bull were inline with each other and it looked like one bull but couldn't tell which body was his.
We keep moving trying to get a better angle of him but he's behind a bunch of crap. Finally he stands broadside through a bunch of thick willows. I can see him but not a clear shot because it's so thick. I move a bit to my right and see a gap of about 1 foot to try and sneak a shot into. Ben wasn't sure it was a clean path but I thought I could squeeze it in there for a good kill shot and knew it was my only chance to get this bull.
Bam.....he disappears. Can't hear a thing. No noise.....nothing. All of a sudden we see the other bull standing right where he was..........
We wait 5 minutes and then start to move higher to get a better look. Finally, Ben sees a horn on the ground but it's all he can see. It's moving so he's not dead and the other bull is standing right over him.
We wait another 10 minutes or so and nothing changes. Finally, I decide to work my way up there slowly. Get to about 20 yards and the other bull finally bolts right toward us but we still can't see my bull.
Then at 10 yards we spot him......dead!

I wish I had a camera guy with me. These were all cell phone pics and I don't know how to make them look giant and probably not doing him justice.
Either way, super cool bull. Not too many 30 point moose running around in the woods.

Great bull and glad I got to meet you.
I still love the palmation, of the front that gravitates into the paddle. Looks like it has yukon genetics. Congrats!

It was well beyond my initial goal of 170+ but more importantly I wanted a moose that made me go "oh crap" and he did.

Couple more......
My boss caught me drooling at this picture.
I told him that it was an edited picture of Bullwinkle's head on a rock. He then asked about the pool of slober in my lap, so I told him; Boss Remember I went to the dentist this morning...still numb (better than the option).
Congrats on a great hunt--and great results

I'm glad it happened so fast, I didn't have time to think much about the shot. If I would have taken another one I'm not sure I could have hit him. I had the shakes after pulling the trigger.I remember saying "wait til he comes out" and you saying "i can get it through there". Well ok, Boom.

We were debating on waiting until we got back from our Montana trip next week, he was seriously concerned that one more week would be a bad decision. :chuckle:

I missed this update. Great bull! Wish I had been there instead of chasing stinky sheep...
I wish you were there too. A pic of the 48" moose standing over the top of him when I walked up would have been epic.
But, I doubt Ben would have let you walk out of there alive.
