Boneaddict I hope we run I to each other! We are running in a grey ford pickup, extended cab. We are headed up Hwy 18 now.
Wish I had Hirsheys talent at telling stories. Good luck to everyone else!

Looking forward to your hunt reports. I remember writing them late at night last nov.
Those were good times not soon forgotten.
Hope you friend finds the bull he is looking for.
Good hunting :tup:

Nope. He needs to be above the road so you can back up to the bank and slide him in.(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fuploads.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F20160928%2Fc45227bef0224298f443842f42792936.jpg&hash=8785b3e485987c0f4c0384251450576ff70ac713)

But there isn't moose on every corner to choose from. We talked with several tag holders and none of them had seen a single bull, or were willing to talk about it anyway. The community of folks in that neck of the woods is very helpful. We seen a nice bull with triple brows the day before season, and we were optimistic that we would be patient and hold out for a bigger bull.

As I said earlier we went the next 2 days without seeing a single moose. We decided to divide and conquer. The night prior a local had made some observations of some good moose sign, and he left a detailed note in camp of where to go and what he observed. The tag holder and I had also found some good sign that he wanted to check out. As it turns out we should have all followed the directions the local left us. Out partner without a tag found two bulls and a cow. The first bull had no paddles just a young bull. He cruised by them just a little ways and found a tree shaking as a bull was taking out some aggression. Without seeing this bull he hurried back to camp hoping we would return shortly. Of course that didn't happen and we returned a couple hours later. We immediately went back in and got no response as we walked in and started calling.
We noticed alot of scrapes, which were a couple feet wide or more and upto a foot deep. We were unaware that moose left these calling cards before were started this journey. They became frequent observations on these old grassy roads and ultimately led us to our success. Tuesday afternoon we found another likely area on a ridge top. We were awestruck with the amount of sign. We walked out the old road and setup near the best sign for a another calling setup. We had tried this multiple times with zero results. I had made observations from several moose videos over the years and did my best to imitate them. This time with the first cow call I heard something coming in my direction. Of course from directly behind me and moving in to the direction of our wind. We had great cat and mouse exchange for about 10 minutes as we grunted at one another. He was just over the slope of the hill, and finally caught our wind and blew out. We returned the next morning, we just got out of the truck and got ourselves organized. As I shut the truck door, he stood up. He was just about 50 yards away, my partner walked down the road and got a 15 yard shot.
Our original goal was 50 inches, but my partners time and money were limited. Our expectations were decreasing by the day but none the less we are very proud of this bull.
