Title: Kettle Range Moose
Post by: Geno on October 17, 2016, 02:44:51 PM: I drew the Kettle Range any moose Permit this year and hunted the first 2 weeks in the 101 unit, mostly in the Sherman creek, Barnaby creek, White mtn, Onion ridge, and Davis lake. I saw lots of moose, but I could not get an opportunity on a mature bull, which I am determined to hold out for. My question is, will the moose still frequent these areas in late November? I plan on being there the 19th-26th. Any tips or November moose areas would be greatly appreciated. P.M.'s welcome!

Best of luck on your hunt. Agree with Ben regarding the bulls losing their horns in late nov. I shot my bull on nov 23 last year in the Douglas unit. On that day, I passed on a big bull that was missing his left paddle.

Keep hunting hard and you should get a mature bull.

Look forward to your story and pics.

My hunting partner has spent 21 days over there looking for a moose. Had a couple opportunities but it didn't work out. It's coming down to the wire and I hate to see him eat this oil tag. He is looking for any bull, not picky. Anybody be willing to share some information through p.m. that I could pass along to him?

Not trying to hijack your thread.

There is a lot of feed in those old burns and the moose are scattered throughout it.
