Title: 49 Degrees North Early Moose
Post by: jdhansen92 on September 29, 2020, 07:59:43 AM: Hello everyone my name is Jordan and I have a 49 degrees north bull tag, I’m looking for some advise for the hunt we arrived a few days early to try and find a moose before the opener. We have been hiking gated roads all throughout Chewelah creek,Winchester creek, Tacoma creek and been up to Calispell peak but have yet to see a moose, I did most of my research on Hunting Washington forum and found a lot of good info. Are we in the right area or is there something we overlooked ? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Concentrate on prime time, the mid-day is pretty sparse for sightings. As the temps cool off here pretty soon, you should start seeing them in the clearcuts and openings.

Post by: Snakeriver on October 05, 2020, 02:10:09 PM: We've been hunting hard since it opened. We've found an area with some moose but they aren't moving during the day and are not responding to our calls. Were seeing a couple bulls every night on our 1 trail cam we have out. Were not really sure what to do right now, with the warm temps and full moon.

Post by: jdhansen92 on October 05, 2020, 02:41:32 PM: We headed home for the week, our experience was very similar. Hopefully the weather will cool a little bit and get them moving during the day. Also the Air Force was doing survival training in the area we were in we saw about 10-15 men and women camped out in the brush and a helicopter would circle around the area in the dark and search for them. The helicopter landed in our camp twice around 10pm one night .
