Title: I went elk hunting, umm I mean moose hunting
Post by: Bill Dance on Oct 03, 2011, 09:18:06 AM

I went out this weekend to do some elk hunting. We found some sign but there was more moose than elk. We quadded down by a river then into a cut. We glassed the very back of the cut and we saw this.

My buddy Adam pulled the trigger on him at 2:00pm.He anchored his first moose.

2 hours later had him gutted and loaded up and coming out to camp which was 12kms away. In one of the many cuts we saw a big bull and a cow and a calf.

This is the cow and calf. They didn't like to stick around for a good pic.

Next weekend calf season opens for moose so I'll try my luck then.

Congrats to the Hunter on a nice Moose!!  The same thing happened to me on my first Moose Hunt.  I shot a nice little bull on a logging road.  After gutting it and loading it on the trailer, we were driving down to an intersection to turn around, and at the intersection was a BIGGER BULL!!  :(

Couldn't shoot the bigger one as you have to have a LEH tag. Only spike-fork bulls are open right now. Next week moose calves are open for 10 days.
