Title: Moose Sheds Yet? Not me.
Post by: Hornseeker on January 04, 2012, 01:45:38 PM: Well, I spent a half day in N. Idaho with my dad, dog and daughter... looking for duh moose cheds... got into some decent sign but never did find a bone... Daughter and Dog had fun though...dog was working pretty hard and I really think he would have let me know if he'd smelled one or stumbled on one... he did jump a couple grouskies!!

Daughter thought the work of this wood pecker was pretty cool!

Post by: boneaddict on January 05, 2012, 07:09:27 AM: and WOW on the lack of snow. There was more snow there in July than there is now. YIKES

Post by: Hornseeker on January 05, 2012, 03:33:31 PM: Most all of N. Idaho is highly deficient of snow right now... it is insane... Montana is the same way. Today I was in the field working, there was a 25-30 mph wind and I was walking around in a T SHIRT!!! :yike: It was 62 degrees....Jan 5... Normally, in January... with a 25 mph wind... you will not be getting out of the truck!

Post by: Elkslayer on January 06, 2012, 10:43:54 PM: Went out today and all I could find were wolf tracks. :bash: I did see 4 moose though, normally I see a dozen or more in this area. 2 were bulls and they were both shed out. There's 4 paddles laying up there somewhere, unless the wolves eat those to.
