Title: Re: Guess the Score THE MOLE HUNT
Post by: bucklucky on April 20, 2008, 08:41:02 AM: What ever happened to "Nets are for Fish" . Who the heck guesses the net score anyways, usually the stuck up trophy huntin, It aint going down unless it scores 420 net rich guy. :chuckle: Just Playin guys :chuckle:
Title: Re: Guess the Score THE MOLE HUNT
Post by: boneaddict on April 20, 2008, 09:07:35 AM: Gross are for blacktail hunters, net is for elk and mule deer chasers. :)

Title: Re: Guess the Score THE MOLE HUNT
Post by: Elknut1 on April 20, 2008, 09:41:23 AM: I don't know about that? We've never even considered a net score when scoring elk in general. We're not entering them in the books though, it's just for grins! I always go gross!!

Post by: boneaddict on April 20, 2008, 09:46:09 AM: Just flippin him crap back. If someone asks about an animal, I like the "if they grow it, count it way of thinking." Such as thats a 340 bull or thats a 180 deer.

If someone asks for score, I always give them net or what the record book asks for since thats really the only score that counts if entering or talking.

I suppose thats the same arguement as counting eyeguards or not for deer. :)

You know me I like that way of thinking too!
Title: Re: Guess the Score THE MOLE HUNT
Post by: bucklucky on April 20, 2008, 11:23:02 AM: I do give the net score when I am measuring antlers for people. I will write all the measurements down on a score sheet with deductions . Of all the deer and elk I have scored with a tape, the only ones I was off on were the ones I scored green. All the dry stuff I have been real close. But in the field or pictures its all gross score for me. My mind is to simple to figure out deductions on the fly :chuckle: I'd have to take off my boots to do that and well.....whatever!
Title: Re: Guess the Score THE MOLE HUNT
Post by: NRA4LIFE on April 21, 2008, 11:42:55 AM: Is that a trophy mole hunt? I've got a couple "book" moles to my credit. 138 and 136 grams were my 2 "best". Still in search of that elusive 5-ouncer.
Title: Re: Guess the Score THE MOLE HUNT
Post by: M_ray on April 21, 2008, 12:01:06 PM: It's for a managment Mole ... A trophy mole hunt has a trophy fee added 3-4oz, 4-5oz, 5-6oz and world class 6oz and above PM tmike for a list on prices! :chuckle:
Title: Re: Guess the Score THE MOLE HUNT
Post by: boneaddict on April 21, 2008, 12:29:04 PM: I don't want you're guys honey holes or anything, but I would really like to go hunt where there are alot of trophy moles running around, but no other people. Can you throw me a bone here?
Title: Re: Guess the Score THE MOLE HUNT
Post by: NRA4LIFE on April 21, 2008, 12:32:42 PM: Sadly, my prized mole hunting grounds near Maple Valley were grossly mis-managed in the late 90'a and early 2000's. Over-hunting has severely damaged the entire mole ecosystem. Back in the good ol' days, I could count on 2 or 3 a month. Sometimes 2 or 3 in one day! Now I'm lucky to get 2 or 3 a year. Sigh...........
Title: Re: Guess the Score THE MOLE HUNT
Post by: tlbradford on April 21, 2008, 12:57:24 PM: I thought I was drawn for a spring multi-season mole hunting permit, but sadly the results were nullified, and I didn't get selected in the redraw....(Update, apparantly a third drawing by Outdoor Central is going to occur....I'm keeping my fingers crossed.)
Title: Re: Guess the Score THE MOLE HUNT
Post by: tmike on April 21, 2008, 01:12:45 PM: Hey everyone I have great news. The state just granted me unlimited land owner tags! Get ahold of me to set up your hunt dates. I manage for quality so there is limited space on select days, and the best news is there are no trophy fees. BYOT :)
Title: Re: Guess the Score THE MOLE HUNT

Post by: bucklucky on April 22, 2008, 08:27:04 AM: Now that is a trophy! I'm jelouse. I wish I had the money to go on a guided mole hunt. Its more popular than hunting elk in Utah!

P.s. I cant believe you have a Mole mounted! :chuckle:
Title: Re: Guess the Score THE MOLE HUNT
Post by: MountainWalk on April 22, 2008, 09:13:12 AM: why bother with moles, when you can hunt the dangerous game of small vermin, the barn rat. get a pellet and go hunt rats in a big barn and stall house. some of them can be brave. in one 3 month stretch i gunned down 100 sumthin rats, some of them booner rats. :)

Post by: boneaddict on April 23, 2008, 06:52:30 AM: I got one of those wenas shorttails last night, but unfortunatly I used the 410 on him to cape him instead of my knife. I'm not sure even the magic taxidermists around here could sew humpty back together again. He might make a good shredded beef sage rat sandwhich though. :yike:
