Title: Selkirk Bull Moose Hunt
Post by: Practical Approach on November 01, 2024, 04:31:27 PM: Hello,

I spent about 9 days hunting moose during the rut to no avail. We saw some moose that were on the smaller size. We called one in that we didn't get a good look at and others were tending cows and wouldn't come in. I plan on heading back this month and spend some more time looking for a decent mature moose. I am hoping for a little snow and loss of leaves to help with the glassing. If anyone has suggstions, tips or weather reports, I would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

good solid plan. Once all the foliage drops it’s a game changer! Good luck!

Very very very few daylight sightings. One to be exact :chuckle:

Hopefully they become less spastic in the next week. Followed a bull and cow in the snow for 5 miles and they did everything they could to avoid roads. Several 180s.

Ouch, that isn't what I want to hear. Have most the decidious trees lost their leaves?
