Joe, congratulations on getting drawn!

Not real familiar with District 27 myself, but I'll poke around and see if some local know-how might be willing to help out.

Will you have a chance to do some preseason scouting? Are you doing this yourselves or considering a guided hunt?

I was looking through some old threads about moose hunting and came across this that you started back in 2005. Some darn good info here.

Liked this idea about using a decoy :


quote :
" And somethig I just started to piddle with is a cow decoy. Montana Decoy makes one that folds up into my pack, and with a little practice sets up and takes down in no-time ,and it looks great. Only tried it a few times last year, but got good response from it,,,,,unfortunatally it was from really small bulls. Didn't have a chance to use it on anything big to see how they would react, but I know it is going to work like a charm. Not too many people doing this yet that I have talked to, but a black sheet hung over a couple of downed trees works too. Had a friend take a nice bull doing this a couple of years ago."


The black sheet idea's got me thinking.
