I am lucky enough to draw my 1st choice, Aladdin. I've had property there for over 20 years along with a cabin that has been used for camp during late deer and elk for many, many years. I know the area very well and have seen many moose. I hope my luck will hang around until after the season. Being able to hunt from my cabin...a place I've called home during hunting seasons is beyond any expectations I had. My father help build that cabin many years ago. I wish he was still here for this.
I'll post more later with results from trail cams. Hopefully at the end of this thread there will be a big ole moose in the pictures.

If there is anyone that may have experience with moose hunting during the late season Please chime in on late calling.
In November I would start looking more towards wintering areas.

45/70 is a super cool round it is like throwing a bowling ball at them. I love my Marlin XLR 45/70 and it is a 300 yard gun all day long. :tup:

Congrats on your tag, I got the early Aladdin A tag. Don't feel bad about getting drawn with your point total, I only had 8 and I don't feel bad. I see you live in Arlington when not at your cabin. I live there too on Jim Creek Rd. If you want to get together to talk all things moose let me know.
I'll get a hold of you towards the opener. I will have checked cams by then.

45-70 for sure! What rifle you going to get?
I put in for the late Alladin with 16pts with a "not selected" result but I'm can't complain cuz I drew a WY moose tag this year. Going to take my 1874 Sharps in 44-77 with paper patch loads for that one.
Look forward to your scouting and ultimate trip report.

I have a guide gun in 45-70. The gun loves my 460gr gas check hard cast huge flat point with xmp5744 for one big hole groups at 50 yards with XS Ghost ring peep sight. Drops like a rock though. Not for longer ranges.

Nice
I have a guide gun in 45-70. The gun loves my 460gr gas check hard cast huge flat point with xmp5744 for one big hole groups at 50 yards with XS Ghost ring peep sight. Drops like a rock though. Not for longer ranges.
That's exactly why I went with a 22" barrel. I'm hoping it will give me another 30 or 40 yards before the big drop off starts. (I know it will give me at least 3 1/2" :chuckle: ) I love the caliber and now I get to hunt with it. Most of my deer and elk hunts have been with a scope, although my deer shots have been 40 yards or less. Being able to hunt the largest of the big game we have with a big lever action with iron sights....that's the stuff my hunting dreams are made of.
I think this hunt means so much to me (not just because it's unbelieveable) because of the massive heart attack I had 8 months ago during hunting season as many of you know. I was so lucky...amazingly lucky I am still here. So many positive things have happened since then...or maybe I just notice that a little more. I do wish my dad was still around for this. My daughter will be off somewhere doing Army medic work or she would be there (she's awesome). My hunting buds will be there to help though.
Truly feels like "Once in a Lifetime". Trail cams will be set in September for moose.

I'll be heading up where I spend some time elk hunting, at the high areas. I see good moose up there in November. Probably why I don't see elk :chuckle: There are some open areas but it is awfully think too. I'll set trailcams labor day and won't be back in till it's time to hunt elk. That is a little stressful but it's the good kind. I'm saving vacation time to max opportunity. I now have a tag, I have a new Marlin 45-70, I know the area well, I know there are moose and I have 30 days for once in a lifetime. I'm not to proud to ask for a little luck as well. :chuckle: Deer and elk will be open that month as well. This otta be good.
Falcon, feel free to swing by the cabin if your up in the area in November.
