I wish you some great success on your moose hunt.. I am to a meat hunter but will take a big bull if it shows itself to me first.. I have to hunt just bulls for my hunt coming up on Monday.. It has been a long time waiting and scouting for me as well.. Good Luck on your moose..

Yes I did and it is the first time ever for me my friend.. The drawing has been going on for over 25 years up here so I am pumped up alright.. Also it is in my home area so I am hoping to have a great time of it..

It was a 4 pointer and only 30 minutes into our hunt it came walking out to a call. We thought it was a cow until it got to far away for me to try and bow shoot it. So he let it have it with a 30-06. It was a work out getting him back out of the woods and onto the truck at roughly 130 yards threw an old cutting.. The cutting was cut in the winter leaving some high stumps and a alot of brush to go threw..
I hope you have had some great success as well..
