What State and Unit did your wife draw in? I drew a moose permit in 2000 and hunted quite hard for mine. Looked over approximately 35 bulls in my unit before I dropped the hammer on one. Depending on the terrain and area I may be able to give you some pointers.

BTW - congratulations to your wife...it might be a good omen. I put in for a few years and gave up. My wife put in and drew, then I drew. Maybe she will bring you good luck
