I couldn't apply this year or next as I was drawn last year! That was my first time from the beginning of it all. I was going to be a sub if any of them got a draw but that never happen this year. Maybe next year as the wife, son, and daughter all took thier hunter safety coarses this year..

Hi Phil,

No such luck for me either but my youngest son got picked for a bull permit up in District 3 - same district I got selected for back in 2006 - so I'm hoofing along as a subpermittee.

Looking forward to pitching my tent again in this place (Trafton Lake in Limestone) and hitting the woods and fields again for some scouting.







Another one of my hunting companions got picked for a bull or cow permit for the month long November hunt in District 23. It looks like a tough zone - 13% success rate last year.

Got any tips/suggestions for him?

Thanks - Jay

Good luck. I tent camped for my VT moose hunt last year and wouldn't you know it but it stayed in the twenties which made camping a bit uncomfortable. I took a Cow on the third day because I was ready to get it over with. That and I had already taken two bulls before, one in VT and one in NH.

Wow you're one lucky hunter to draw so many moose tags. Maybe next year you could fill mine out for me and maybe that would change my luck lol

I can not say a heck of a lot about that area. It is one of the harder areas to hunt. From what I understand, there is a quite a bit of posted land in that zone. anything i can find out about that area I will PM you on..
