Agree RB, moose hunting is something special, I wish more could get the opportunity!   And that store has gas and propane too!

A side by side and optics on tripods, even binos on tripod will be your top tools
I like this. I've been trying to justify getting a side by side for awhile. This tag really helps my cause. :chuckle:

Drive , drive, drive!!!!  Cover lots of ground when you are scouting to get to know that area, it’s big.  Drive something you don’t mind getting scratched up, the roads weren’t trimmed much on my hunt and the one forest service guy I talked with told me quads weren’t allowed in a lot of places, BUT, my quad wasn’t street legal at that time, and the laws are so screwy who knows.  Get some bear spray, you will be in grizz country but another reason is in case you surprise a mama moose, they have bad attitudes.  Early season is great, the late season is awesome. I believe out of usk, across the river from usk, is a snow park parking lot, big area to park a trailer.  Lots of gated roads, but driving is best.
I'll add bear spray to the list.  I Wasn't thinking about a pissed off mama moose let alone a possible grizzly.  Thanks Man.

Thanks Lewy looks like Jakeland has the Beef scapula request in to a butcher already. LOL.

Side by side will have to wait a bit....

Let’s hear about the bent bumper. I seem to remember that being in a different unit.

I'm the shooter.... not the driver.  20 years from now when you draw moose I'll drive the electric hover truck and you can shoot!

I think you guys should take the Subaru.  You guys would blend right in with the locals in Montana. :tup:

I found a rut pit, and was subsequently charged by a rather large bull while standing there a few years ago.  I did not have my phone/onx when that happened but know, and can pin on a map, within 100yards of that spot, if you want it to go check out when scouting. 

Also, I’ll be up in the area a lot this fall at our property, though will be spending October chasing moose in 49 degrees, but if we are tagged out and or after that season ends, I’d be happy to drive and search for a November bull if your tag goes that long.
