Soccerguy, how was the moose hunt?

Well, it was very short.  I went self guided with a friend of mine.  A month before the season, I flew to Salt Lake City and scouted the area for three days with a friend from the Provo area who is a sheep guide who knows the unit real well.  The only moose we saw was a 40" bull and he asked me if that one would be big enough.  I looked at him for a while and decided he would be.  A month later, on opening day of the season, we want back to the same area.  We passed on two small bulls the first five minutes of daylight but spotted a much larger bull about an hour later.  A closer look revealed that it probably was the same bull from a month earlier, or his twin brother.  Two shots later and the hunt was over.  In fact, he was exactly 40" wide, but not tremendous paddles...OK for point length.  I was prepared to hunt much longer but the advice I got from others who had hunted that unit said that a bull of this size was a shooter unless I was prepared to wander into the more remote, rugged areas of the unit (and there are some).

Can't complain about a 40" on the first day :tup:.  I have quite a few moose points in UT but have heard mixed reviews on the few units that non residents can put in for.
