Are the roads closed off during the hunting season?
Is there a Packer to hire around there?

Do you think the Deer hunters will be all over there? How about bears and cougers in there to hunt too?
How about camp spots? STB

We did this for two successful hunters year before last and they were great guys. They in turn shared where they had seen bucks which helpedus be succesful

CONGRADULATIONS PA BEN!Welcome to the forum too.
We will be doing some scouting ahead, Probably in late September. Are there any camp grounds in the area or can we camp anywhere in the unit? Anyone know?
Thanks for the advice runningboard and Bobcat
Google Earth has been a good tool in exploring the area.

I personally talked with Brian and he is a young nice guy, he does not know much about the Huckleberry unit, and he admitted so!
That means something, he could have just blown smoke up my arse!

No offense, but for me the whole fun of the experience was doing something that I had never done before and learning along the way. I am really proud I did it on my own and felt a sense of accomplishment. That being said, many don't have the time/effort/desire to do it that way and a guide is necessary. I did everything on my own from picking out the tag area to grinding my own moose meat.
If thats considered roasting........I'm sorry. My point was I like to do things on my own.
Post by: popeshawnpaul on July 31, 2008, 03:25:09 PM
That being said, I jumped on him because his first post seemed to indicate he wanted people to sign up with him and another post made it seem like that was the only way you could get a big bull. I don't think that was the purpose of his post, it just came accross wrong to me at first. After that he has now posted great pictures of big moose and has contributed to other threads. I took care of this via PM with him. This really isn't my place, as I'm not a moderator. I'll assume my place as a member and stay out of issues like this.
Let's get back to talking about big moose and those huge sheds pendoreille has posted...

If anyone is going to kill a big one it will be Smokey ;) Trust me on this one ;)
So should I be offended or is this just a challenge ;) I dont know Smokey but I'm betting that I can hold out for a bigger bull than he can :lol4:

Does this guy with all the money hunt early? Or same time? :bash:
You'll have two raffle tags out in the woods too. Although they are not likely to have the entourage the Gov tag guy will have. Their season is Sept 1 to Dec 31 too.

Ole huntnphool has a couple aces up his sleeve.
Yes I do, lets hope I dont draw a couple 8's to go along with them :yike:
ON another note, I have it from a great source that the Gov. tag guy really doesn't get too excited until the end of November. There are plenty of bulls in there so dont panic, plenty of eyes as well. I know a lot of elk hunters would get a kick out of helping out someone with a moose tag, hoping that if they ever draw the info would be given to them too.

:DOH: I forgot about that, I was thinking about when I ran in to Intruder last year while I was elk hunting. He had the raffle tag.
As I recall you were no where to be seen once my moose hit the ground :chuckle:
