Title: 2017 Moose and Goat Success
Post by: archery288 on October 05, 2017, 10:09:06 AM: 2017 has been an alright year so far... :dunno: :chuckle: I was able to harvest a 10" goat in Northern BC in the end of August and my dad just filled his OIL tag on his moose here in WA Monday afternoon. And a few more critters. My WA spring bear and Montana bull. C'mon deer season!

What unit was your dad's moose?

Haha, probably. And 49 north, early. He's been putting in for 40 years. Was at the very first moose drawing in WA when they did it out of the barrel with cards. He just turned 70 this year. Was due.

Post by: archery288 on October 05, 2017, 08:50:18 PM: Thanks for the kind words fellas! The goat was something that meant a lot to me. My dad's favorite animal to hunt; always wanted to share that hunt together but it just hasn't been in the cards. Finally got a chance to go, and ended up shooting it on his 70th birthday. Then we got to share his moose hunt together.
