Moose hunt
« on: Sep 25, 2012, 12:17:48 AM »
I head up into the Big Horns in the morning for a moose hunt :) :) :) :) :) :).  The season doesn't open until the 1st.  But I will do some scouting and relax 8).  The heat down here is still too rough on this old man :P.

I spent 11 days in the Big Horns scouting and hunting moose.  I have seen very few of the big deer.  I saw 3 a few days before the season.  The snow started on Thursday.  We saw one little bull that morning.  Friday we saw an even smaller bull and a cow.I decided to take a few off and come back home.  I will probably head back up Monday.

We did see a lot of deer and elk up there.  And the snowshoe hares seem to be in good shape.  We also saw some grouse but not a lot.  And I was surprised to come across a flock of Merriam turkey much farther north than I had ever seen them in the Big Horns.

I took this picture of Bullwinkle stepping over the fence yesterday.

Marv

I am hunting area 1 with a type 1 tag.  I saw moose all over until September.  I will just keep after them. I have shot moose before but nothing very big.  I would like to get a good one this time.  It will probably be my last moose hunt.  Have you done any hunting over those goose decoys yet?

No moose again this trip.  :(  New snow this morning and some fresh tracks.

But I did get some excitement.  8)  I came across man running lions with hounds.  I got to see them tree a lion.  My camera batteries were dead so I had to take pictures with my cell phone.  I will see if I can make them worth looking at and post them. 

 I think this was the first Mt Lion I had ever seen in the wild.  I know I had never seen hounds tree one before.  Really quite a fascinating time.  8)

Finally.  After 20 days in the Big Horns I shot a bull moose.  I will post pictures in a day or two.
