Post by: elkspert on June 12, 2009, 06:41:37 PM: Well my son did!!! :chuckle: But first I would like to say what an awesome site. I have been lurking in the shadows for sometime waiting to have something good to write about. Now that I have that he drew a hangman any moose tag. I see from earlier post that it looks like alot of private land but we are ready to do the homework, scouting trips and whatever it takes. But i still have to ask the question " does anyone have any helpful tips on this unit?"

You gotta hunt the rut. It's EZ to learn to call. Use bull grunts, they love to fight. They come in better then elk. It's like they always come in to take a look. I made 3 grunts and mine came in tearring up the country. I got some video's last year to learn to call. The reason you use bull grunts is first they will come in, second, I had a bull coming in like a dog on a rope one morning. So, I thought I'd rev him up with a cow call. All that did was piss off his cow and she started whining and turned him around. I called him in the next morning, he showed himself across this meadow a 300 yds. I didn't call anymore because he wasn't big enough for me. But he had me pin pointed and came with in 30 yds of before I got outta there.

Post by: Wea300mag on June 13, 2009, 09:00:19 AM: Members with moose tags seem way down, but you never know, we will probably get a bunch of newbies looking for info.
Title: Re: OK MOOSE TAGS!!!!!
Post by: PA BEN on June 13, 2009, 09:19:54 AM: I found out about this site after I drew last year from a buddy. He said there were guys on here talking about Washington moose.
Title: Re: OK MOOSE TAGS!!!!!
Post by: elkspert on June 13, 2009, 09:32:05 AM: I found out about this site after a member called me before last years season. He drew a west side elk tag, the same one in which I drew in 05. So I have been in the shadows since kinda waiting to have something good to post.

Post by: huntnphool on June 14, 2009, 09:08:56 PM: Congrats to all the 09 moose tag winners, you are in for a great time, I can't wait to read all the stories and pics. :brew:
Title: Re: OK MOOSE TAGS!!!!!
Post by: NWBrute on June 15, 2009, 09:53:47 AM: I also drew the Selkirk tag. You always hope to see you've drawn something, but never expect to draw anything, and to pull a moose tag out of it all. WOW!!!! There will be no shortage of road trips this summer I can see.

Post by: Alan K on June 15, 2009, 10:57:35 AM: The tag my younger sister drew was Mt. Spokane A. It's going to be a great time.

I was poking around up there last night. Didn't see any moose, but saw one real fresh set of tracks. It had just rained, so I probably missed him by an hour or less.

Post by: Antlershed on June 19, 2009, 09:37:56 PM: Sounds like a fair amount of Moose tags on the site again this year. Can't wait to read all the stories.
