Busy Fall Ahead ** updated with story 10/6! **
« on: September 14, 2023, 08:16:10 PM »
After checking my email earlier this year, I won the jackpot and drew a Clearwater region moose tag in the area I work in mostly during the summer, except for this year  :chuckle:. Been running and gunning since early June and almost 900 hours of OT later, I am anxiously waiting for fall to get here. Had enough of the Deep South humidity 😂.


I have zero expectations for moose this year, but have one October bull and quite a few November bulls located. Hopefully fill an my elk tag and deer tag while I’m at it. Hopefully my 9 cameras have something good on them.


Last moose I saw on August 22nd, my last day off.

Good luck man! I’ll be in your unit the first week of October. We should meet up. I saw this bull off the road in a location I have seen multiple others in your unit.

Indeed we should meet up! I’ll be back out there on September 28th and don’t plan on going anywhere.

I’ll be in a white tundra. We will have a white utility trailer too and a little Honda 520 side by side.

I have moose fever after seeing this guy on the Montana side this morning on my way back home. Should have tied him up and brought him into my unit. chuckle:

The mind always is soothed when I cross this bridge no matter the time of year. 47 degrees and raining currently. Have a feeling there’s snow up high.

Finally able to hunt tomorrow after dealing with the loss of my black lab the last few days. 140 hours of leave approved to be used over the next 6 weeks! Can’t wait to tromp around in the cold and wet woods tomorrow!

Sorry to hear about your dog. Hopefully, some time in the moose woods will provide time for reflection and recovery.
