This will be my official page on this hunt, my quest to take an archery state record with a bow, keep you informed and follow along much as phool did last year. Will be heading up to scout this weekend

Congrats Shane I'm glad it stuck for you! 8)  We worked hard on that bull last year that was a 160+ for Phool and he had him at 20 yards several times with no shot cause it was soooo thick :( I am hoping for better luck for ya on yours!!!  :)
Title: Re: SHANE(WA) 2009 Hangman Moose hunt
Post by: SHANE(WA) on June 13, 2009, 03:11:11 PM
Thanks guys . My goal is 170 but if  the unit just isn't holding the bull I am looking for I will have to settle for less, a bull with a wow factor is what I am looking for. Lots of scouting ahead of me 3 months, hopefully it will turn up a bull or 2 :-)

Shane(WA)
I am going to try to attach a photo of a friend's moose he killed last year on Mica Peak.  He came over from the west side - I showed him around a little bit and he got this one on the second day (if I remember right).
It was very foggy up there that day.

this is the hangman unit, its 1 mt and thats about it, access is difficult, quads or bikes only 1 to 2 ways in and thats it.

that Mt should be called fog mt, the upper half is consumed with fog from mid Oct thru winter, I have been up Saturday night and this morning in a new spot, lots of sign, yet to see a moose lol

Post by: SHANE(WA) on June 15, 2009, 09:34:57 AM
I would hope, but a 200" may not exist up there, cant kill one if they arent there, now  180 is possible, talked to a few guys who saw 160+ bulls up there in the last 2 years, my dad saw a giant 2 yrs ago in a secret honey hole  spot, I went there today and checked it out  ;)

I do see big bulls, most of these giants are in Huckleberry,49 and selkirk we bowunt these areas alot for elk over the last 20 yrs. I quit bowhunting mica about 4 yrs ago, i know this mountain since we hunted it since I was a little guy, I know where to go, and have seen some dandy bulls up there, just saying if there isnt one there I cant kill it, I am going to kill the biggest bull that mountain has to offer this year

I believe ya, it just surprises me if you see 200 inch bulls often in these units, you must have really had a hankerin to hunt hangman if its only got 170 bulls on it.

hangman, huck,selkirk and 49 in that order, I want hangman

Draw odds are way better on hangman, I want a moose tag, no brainer to
Put in for a unit with the best odds, I know the unit better than the others, yeah I have seen giants in other units, but at the same time I haven't spent any time on mica in the last 5 yrs, I know the moose pop as been booming up there, excellent nutrition up there and rich soil.

You could just buy some sheds off ebay and screw them on a skull that's how I'd do it if I wanted a 200" bull.

you couldnt tag a big bull? give me a break.I see 2 or 3 50" bulls every time I am in there.

Sounds like a lame hunter to me

Quote
If I draw a tag here I will shoot a state record and hopefully a world record

Quote
My buddy has a set that scored around 200". If it was down to the last 2 days I would shoot that bull
Quote
I cant even begin to grasp the concept of hunting 30 days and couldnt shoot a big bull,all I have to say is WOW and what a disappointment for the hunter.
i can do this all night...but it might be easier to just post a link...naahh..

shane...it takes a lot to post all that crap and then come hear asking for people's input and advice. good luck to you.

maybe i should post the link if you don't like the pieces or taking stuff out of context.
that thread on another site where you made those comments was a year and a half ago...not 3. not that that makes any difference. sounded to me by reading the story that  the hunter was hunting A single bull they had seen early on in the hunt.

 Hey Shane, was this post about me? If so, you should know I was not disappointed!!! I found the bull I was looking for and stayed on him to the end, in the end the bull won but I have memories to last me a lifetime and am not disappointed. I ended up with a great bull and am proud that I stuck to my goal. The fact that he had dropped means nothing to me, it was all about the hunt and the time and memories I spent with family and good friends while doing it. I will never forget that hunt, and have a large debt to pay to those that helped me along the way, but never will I feel "disappointed" ;)

I think it's just that you came accross poorly in that MM thread Shane.  Say you are sorry, full of crap, or drunk when you posted it and let's move on.  Hopefully reality has set in and you realize you aren't going to just walk up there and shoot a 200" bull. 

Good luck on the hunt and hopefully you can get past this issue and enjoy the hunt for what it is, not for the score.  There are a lot of impressive looking 140" moose out there.  Score isn't important in moose hunting as it doesn't really correlate well to the biggest or most impressive looking bull.  If you get hung up on score you probably won't have a very memorable experience.

Post by: MagKarl on June 16, 2009, 03:14:11 PM
Man, I love this bar.

Shane - Please do keep posting stories and pics.  The sad reality is most of us will never draw a OIL tag and living vicariously through friends and internet stories is about as close as we'll come to a real moose kill.

Yep Chris!  ;) hopefully you will be along when it happens! I think everyone who has drawn this tag has hunted just the mountain the starr rd access. That just limits you to the mountain , so much more to this unit. I am after a wow factor type bull, if it means a big unique bull that scores like crap oh well, score isn't all, I have in my mind what I want.I am spending just about every free day I can scouting, I am confident that we will find THAT bull. Thanks to all that have offered to help and the words of encourgement , u know who you are :-)

Shane, we are going to kill a monster! no doubt in my mind!
I already got people looking in area of that unit that other people dont even think of hunting.

Good God, you've already got 5 pages for this hunt, and it's not even July, yet.  Don't forget that when you have Chris along that you've got to make him bring the beer; otherwise yours will mysteriously disappear into thin air!

This sounds like a truly once-in-a-lifetime event that you guys are planning.  I hope you can pick and choose through the critters until you find what you want.  Don't forget to start saving now for the $1500 taxidermy bill that's probably coming.

Good Luck!

Shane(WA)
I am going to try to attach a photo of a friend's moose he killed last year on Mica Peak.  He came over from the west side - I showed him around a little bit and he got this one on the second day (if I remember right).
It was very foggy up there that day.

* Ken's Moose.jpg (385.63 KB, 1635x1089 - viewed 4 times.)

 I go to church with Ken and he told me That he did see bigger bulls just could not close the deal.
anyway good luck Shane

Funny phool  :chuckle:Can't see pic, must be my phone not opening it. I am not even scouting this mountain, every single tag holder hunts the starr rd access. The same moose get hunted year in and year out, if I want the giant it's not coming from that mt.

He just might, oh well, not a pissing contest or is it?  :chuckle: what some on here are trying to make it into, I could careless. I guess  I could bust out the rifle and take a 500 yard shot accross a canyon,  just not what I am looking for in this hunt, I want close up and personal and a experience to remember.If it takes me 45 days to to get one with my bow great, I would rather have all the close encounters and memories. It would be great to tag one the first week, but at the same time I would feel like I didnt use the tag to my fullest addvantage.I would rather end my hunt as you did phool using all the time I had to fill my tag than taking something early in the year that was under my goal.  :twocents: lol

Scored the ultimate place to moose hunt,also a mega elk spot, someone must of knew it was my b-day that day! ;) The guy also offered his tractor and a kawasaki mule to haul out moose, needless to say i will be taking care of this guy no matter where i get a moose, just nice of him to let me access this land.

Shane (WA)

Glad to see you are using the "other way in".  It provides some great opportunities.  Although Starr Rd doesn't get too jammed up with Moose tag holders.  Will be interesting to see what you get on the cameras.
I am going to try to get back out there and get my cameras up soon. Behind the power curve right now.
Just to let you know, in case I forgot - I did lose a ground blind this year - had been in the same spot for about two years and someone apparently walked off with it this Spring - and it was on some of the "private" stuff !!

Thanks for that - guess I am going to get out the maps again and see if I can figure out where you might be!  I am going to keep an eye on the state land part of that area - have seen good sign in it and last year had a great encounter with a cow and calf (maybe it has horns this year !)  Will stay in touch.

I have thought about Cheney area , I have some friends out there keeping a eye out for me. Lots of water out there for sure, problem is it's extremly hard to scout, it's flat and all private. Only way I will even consider is if someone spots a giant out there , I would go out and check it out and try to obtain permission. All my scouting is concentrated in the mica range right now.
Cool looking bull chris! I would like to see what he looks like this year. Thanks for getting that!

so shane, I presume you have scouted the marsh on top. I have found the big boys only hang out in 3 or 4 places up there. I presume you have found that offshoot that with a spotting scope can see most every thing up there.
Don't for get to practice breaking brush. I presume you have gone up from the wa side and the Id side. Personally I liked the Id side. Don't forget to go north from the 5 corners on the Id side. You have to be careful not to cross the park boundary.

Hows the calling doing? I found out last year that bulls calls are the best to bring them in. I had a bull comimg and thought I'd heat him up with a cow call. All it did was piss off a cow and she started calling at him and he turned back to her. Just like pissing off a hen turkey. :bdid:

Havent called to any bulls yet, been windy this last week, calmed down now and i didnt want to run the risk of calling in a big bull and educating him.

will do pinetree, if I dont have help, looks like I have alwinearcher,bullblaster, brother,dad and myself all packing if needed. I dont think the hunt will end in the next 14 days, it better be big or unique  ;)

Well opening morning started out with a bang litteraly. Myself and Alwine archer headed out at 5 am. We arrived at our spot made our way towards the vantage point we wanted to glass from . It didn't take long the creek bottom was full of bull grunts, atleast 3 bulls, finally a big one stepped out, we decided this bull was big enough to pursue. We decended off the mountain , straight to the bottom up the other side, while doing all this we broke alot of branches, it caught the bulls attention. He ended up coming to us and beat us to the logging road we were after, he came to 23 yards and stood around for 10 min, so we skirted the road and try to pop up farther down, he followed! 30 yards now, staring at paddles for what seemed like forever. The bull lost interest and moved up the hill accross the road and began to paralell the road , we watched him for the next hour at 80-120 yards, frusturating to say the least . Then we saw a cow finally, he was following her, she went accross a opening at 80 yards, we rushed up to cut distance hoping the big bull would come by following her, nothing he went higher up. We then climbed higher, hitting another road we walked down it, alwinearcher spots the bull broadside at 50 yards! Bull disappears and walks straight away outta range! And outta sight.we decided to rush the bull , come over hump there he is, 70 yards! Still too thick, but there is a dip and cover , he can't see us! Let's go fast, I knock arrow pop over rise thinking this is it, no bull , hunters !! Oh no, bull had spooked and went out in the open , well to end this the bull was killed . We videoed helped drag the bull down took pics , I will let them
post there story . After about a hour chatting with them and congrats we moved on, go around corner and call, stuff starts breaking , moose we move closer the cow is moaning non stop! No bull grunts . After about 10 min we here bull, they would not come in open, finally the bull shows, 48" bull nice paddles no fronts! We passed and began a 3 hour walk back to truck! We were beat! The evening we went up and check sone different spots, no sign no moose. Day 1 was alot of fun , congrats to Zach for dandy bull!!  Well we are off to a new spot tomorrow, bullblaster will be joining us.

What a story huh Shane. Believe me, if we had known you had been chasing that bull, we would have not killed him. Kind of weird huh, all that area and we bump into you guys that way. Sure didn't plan it that way. We want to thank you guys for helping out and being as excited as we were. Seeing your guy's determination and attitude you should do just fine. As we both know there are some big bulls up there. Keep at it, and keep us posted.

 :o Holy chit shane..thanks for your post. You have changed my perspective on what it means to get a oil moose tag. before following your quest for a monster bull moose I was willing to settle for a small bull (if I ever get drawn). You did all your homework and it paid off in spades. Weather you know it or not you have made an impact on how I look at oil tags. Thank you for opening my eyes a little. THAT IS A DAMN FINE MOOSE. :drool: :bow: :bow:

Well day 2 came much too fast, beat tired from the day before we headed out. We went to a new spot that am and upon arrival it was super windy began to rain heavily.We got to our vantage point and began to glass, we picked out a cow and calf immediately, then a small bull appeared below us.Rain continued come down and low clouds began to settle in, we spotted another cow, no bull in sight with her. At this time we decided to bail on this spot and decided to head to cheney area and look for some moose, this trip turned out to show no moose.We then met up with Chris(bullblaster) kinda down on our luck we headed back up to Mica peak.We got up there kinda late, unloaded quad and headed up.The area we wanted to hunt was right on the edge of the fog line, we parked the quad and began to walk down the rd, calling and listening,nothing super quiet. We decided to head farther around to the next drainge, about half way into our walk Chris says moose, we look and there is a cow and calf just below us.Matt gets the video camera out and begins to get footage of the 2 moose that seem to have no care in the world that we are standing here, we decided to mess with them and call to them and see what they would do.I grab my moose call and grunt, this is when it got interesting in a hurry, first grunt and about 10 yards behind the cow the ferns and tall grass began to move with a mess of antlers, there was a giant bull bedded there, he stood and stared at us ! packs were flying to get into position for a shot, tripod up for the camera. Bull was at 57 yards and quartering hard at us, we waited for close to 10 min for the bull to turn, the cow began to leave he took a step forward and stopped he was now broadside, I drew my bow settled my 60 pin low and let her rip, for what seemed like an eternity for the arrow to get there I could see the arrow sink in right behind the shoulder, bull gasped and stood motionless,almost if he was going down in seconds, he then bolted 10 yards I grunted, stopping him at 62 quartering away, I reached for my arrows and nocked another, drew and smoked him again, 3 inched from the last arrow, that was it he staggered and crashed to the ground right there! we were in shock and disbeleif that this all just happened. We gathered and made our way down to the bull, complete pass thrus on the bull, one arrow was burried in a stump ! Thanks to all who supported me and sent words of encouragement, this hunt was a blast even tho it only lasted 2 days! we were prepared to hunt this out till Novemeber, never thinking we would come upon 2 big bulls in 2 days!  ;)

Post by: SHANE(WA) on October 03, 2009, 06:41:26 PM
width is 41" one of the oddest looking bulls for sure, if you look head on at him paddles are straight inline and the almost do a 90 after the brow and straight back, if his paddles lay out as normal be way wider, his left side is huge and right is way weak

Shane, congrats on the bull!  Nice meeting you and your buddies when we were going up for the 2nd half of my wifes cow.  I think you guys were just around the corner from us (literally 400 yards or so, the trail to the left?), we heard some whoopin and hollering at around 6 or so that night, must have been you guys, and your truck was still at the bottom at 7:30 when we were heading out.  How about that hail/sleet storm, fun eh?

Also, nice meeting you too Elkspert, and you too Ridgerat.  Hope your buddy gets his before he heads home.  

All in all, a great hunt!!!  Too bad we can't do this each year.

Score means nothing Shane, be content with a great hunt. 41" spread, not likely it reaches the 150" mark but who cares, nice bull.

We thought that was you guys, we almost drove out that trail just to see what the commotion was about, but the hail hit us and we decided to head back.  Congrats again, everytime you see that rack it will remind you of everything about this trip.  I need to win the Raffle so I can do this with my bow next time.  Or an Alaska trip.........  Today will  be spent butchering up the rest of the wifes cow.

Well the Washington book only has gross scores, and I seem to remember Bow4elk telling me that there are no net scores for Shiras when he was scoring my sheds. According to the book Shane would have the new #1 archery bull in Washington if his score is accurate. The current #1 is 157 1/8 and #2 is Dougs at 144 5/8. So congrats are in order Shane, you not only spanked Dougs but you have the new Washington State record.

he will always be #1 in my book :)

the amazing thing about shanes bull is the fact that if that bull wasn't a heavy timber bull causeing his paddles to grow up rather then out... Shanes bill would of broke the record by a solid 15"

And I got it with my bow which I really wanted to do!! And we couldn't of asked for a better sequence of events to be captured on film! Awesome hunt ! And couldn't of been better spent with a couple of good friends  :)

Hey good job Shane, watched and read the first couple posts and thought this guy is going to get his bull and sure enough you did, way to go-  food for the year...  Who cares about scores, he is a fine animal to mount for any den or above anyones fireplace....  Again great job and a very nice bull....

Congrats Shane he's a great looking bull with plenty of wall appeal that's for sure! If your scores stand up I'll have to give you a :bow: too cause you called it and said you were going to shoot the State record with a bow!!! But I'll wait until I see the official scorer for that one  ;) I hope it stands for you! Can you post your measurements? I think some are skeptical that a 41" can score that high and it would be nice to put those to rest now!!! Nice job to your Sherpas too ... I know what that's like!  :chuckle: Again congrats on a fine moose no matter what the score!  :)

when i was there we measured from inside the farthest forward fork down and then turned straight toward the inside of the farthest back fork.

I'm not expert on moose but this bull is impressive by any standard.  Sure, I'd love to put a tape to that rack but no record book score can compare to the memories made on a great hunt, with good people, and having it all come together.  Truly the definition of Once In a Lifetime.

As I said before awesome bull Shane, not that 200 incher but more realistically what a giant is in this state.

There is a net for moose so not sure what thats all about....but I wonder about your score for the only reason that the one side is so much bigger than the other.
Quote
scored bull, 158 7/8 gross amd 155 3/8 net, bull had everything but width! 41" hurt him bad
I'd think that there would be a MUCH larger gap between gross and net.  No matter, the bull is awesome, just talking score with you.  If that one side matched :yike:  and as you said width.

I figured 8x8 (16)with 10 inch paddles....smallest of the two (20) 7 inch mass (14)  26 paddle lengths (52) and 41 width (41) ........biggest guess on the paddle lengths.  One side is way longer than the other.  Add 2 inches for good measure.
145 bull.

 No kidding, its still going to look good on the wall. Is Charlie mounting it Shane?

 The other thing I want to know is how it eats? Some have posted that theirs were tough and didn't taste that good, I have found that if you cook to med. rare its tender as long as you don't let it sit and cool for a long period, how were those tenderloins? No complaints on how mine eats.

I wouldnt call it slammed I would say nothing more than being called out on his own comments. So far from what I have seen everyone has done nothing more than quote him and ask questions which he is not answering. I have always maintained he has a fine bull that will look good on the wall!
