Going to get a thread rolling now to keep all you guys in the loop through this whole process. Can not wait for the wait period to be up and for this tag to hit the credit card. I don’t think it will actually fully set in until I get the tag in my had. The area isn’t too far of a drive so plan on running cams and scouting a ton, already have lots of people I know outside of this forum jumping in to give info on the hunt. Will do a lot of searching over this site for info and if anybody wants to jump on here and help or if the other tag holders want to ask a question feel free. Will try and keep this updated every step of the way!
Tagging along. In the huckleberries and run a lot of cameras so if I see something of worthiness I can circle back to holler at ya. Of course I want to see what you drop too.

Hoping someday I will get to know the feeling. Wish you the best of luck throughout your scouting season, into your hunt. I have always thought the preparation before the hunt is the best part!!!

Congrats! My dad drew the 65 plus cow tag there, so we may see you there. Feel free to reach out and I'll do the same with some scouting intel.
Perfect yes I’ll keep you in mind and circle back letting you know what I’m seeing for cows and if I’m around always willing to run a pack full of meat.

Holy catfish it’s even more real now. Tag is paid for and going to be in the mail head for my pocket today!!!!!! One odd thing I noticed is my tag says it’s valid 10/01/2024-11/30/2024. I would’ve thought it would be 10/01/2024-10/31/2024.
Maybe because the season runs to 10/30/2024

Oh so there’s one tag for everybody but the permit will limit the days hunt-able. Makes sense didn’t even think of that

With it being the early tag, start watching videos and learn how to call if you don't know how. It is VERY effective in the first part of October. Have a great time scouting and everything else that goes along with having a OIL tag in your pocket. :tup:

It was 2008 when the wife drew her tag. We hunted south of Loon lake for 3 days trying to catch up to a bull we found the day before the hunt started. She passed up 16 bulls before we found her bull on day 3.
Post by: hunter399 on June 23, 2024, 02:33:53 PM
It’s here
I have a feeling your gonna find a good bull .
Heck of a good time,it's gonna be a fun time.
Buddy of mine hasn't got his permit ,maybe they send oil permits first.

They send oils out as soon as you pay for them.

Greetings everyone. I'm new to this forum and although I don't have a Moose tag for Huckleberry, I did get drawn for Aladdin A-Late. I'm looking for any information of that area for Moose. Thanks
Welcome to the forum. Might be better off getting hits it you start a thread with the title of the tag your looking for info for. There is also a search bar up in the right hand corner you could type in what you’re searching for and it will bring up old threads. Will probably be more reading than you want to do lol, I’ve been reading through huckleberry threads and am going on two weeks and haven’t ran out of stuff to read.

Where they are at today ,I couldn't tell ya. From what I've seen of the course of the summer. There is two up there, that are shooters for anyone. They are BIG.
Goodluck on the hunt,I was up there last weekend. Lots of muzzy hunters and no grouse seen.
Post by: Rutnbuxnbulls on October 05, 2024, 02:27:48 PM
Been kind of a slow start seeing dinky bulls and cows. Got the opportunity to help a bull and cow tag holder fill their tags and in the process of helping a second bull tag holder fill the tag. The quest for a monarch with my bow continues as the rut activity pics up, been somewhat running by myself so far but the helper eyes begin to show up tomorrow and by the weekend should have a good number of eyes in the woods. Got to see a respectable bull in person tonight and saw pictures and got a location on a bull that will need to get a closer look before the decision is made. I think I may have found a new love in the hunting world these creatures are absolutely amazing, it’s a real shame we only get to hunt one.
Sounds like a once in a lifetime experience. Soak it all in. Patience kills the big one.

I think the exact opposite is the case…..the rut is in full swing and he bred the cows and may have moved on. The bull moose we hunt in Canada will breed a cow or harem of cows and then travel looking for new cows. Every time they find a hot cow, we figure 72 hours before the deed is done and they move on. Try calling…..if he is in the area, he should respond.
Post by: fishngamereaper on October 08, 2024, 08:06:33 PM
He should show again soon
Keep at it.
I'll be just north of you Thur - Tues if u get in a pinch.

Both times we tried calling at him he freezes up like froze move nothing but his head for almost an hour then got dark. Threw out some cow calls right at dark tonight and then going to get there an hour or so before light and throw some more. What made me think it’s over is I haven’t heard any bull grunts the last two days.

Cow calling or bull calling? Try to challenge him if he hangs up on a cow call.
Did that and raked just stood there and looked. Maybe like he’s been called to before. Acted more like an elk than a love/anger crazed moose.

He just isn’t wanting to leave his cow. When he breeds her, he will come. Patients will pay off……may a bull we called and they never came in, just for a day or two later, the come charging in.
It will happen.

Next weeks weather is going to be good for you, much cooler with chance of rain will get them moving. Last year in 49 north it was warm the first 9 days and it was slow, day 10 it was cool and rainy and I killed m bull and saw other good bulls. You have an OIL tag you get can get an Idaho elk tag any time.
My thoughts too.....no way, no how, I would leave a moose hunt to chase elk in Idaho. Well, unless I had a group of other guys relying on me being in Idaho....but I would hope my friends would understand my absence. If I was on a time frame, I wouldn't be picky with size of bull. If I had the time....I would hunt hard till I got it done. WA has very nice / big moose in it, just takes a little luck and a lot of hard hunting.
Hope you find a moose your happy with.

Saw one in a pickup coming out this morning. Wondering if it was you? We are ready for pics.Very well could have been. Green v10 with two guys in it possibly not to far behind a white side by side depending where you passed them.

Way to keep after it, great bull. Agree with your thought process about notching your tag if you weren't able to recover him. Hard decision for sure on an OIL tag, or any tag for that matter. I was prepared to do it on my goat if he had made it off the unrecoverable cliff.
I think it being an oil made it easier in my mind. I guess it was probably more of seeing the quality bull numbers of an oil species.
