Best of luck drawing a tag. I hunted a moose up here in 2019 on my sister’s permit. The hunt was a quick one with only going into the hunt for 15 minutes on opening day. But spent sometime locating it. Not trying to be a wise guy or anything. But you want to get a lot of practice shooting that rifle before you hunt. I know in my case with my sister I should of gotten more used to the rifle before the hunt. I had to track ours a quite of a ways after it was hit twice by the 30-06. I feel if I had been more used to it I could of gotten it quicker. The first shot dropped it in it’s tracks. The second shot I was roughly 10 feet from him when he had gotten up. That took right in the nose and turned him away from me. I missed on the next shot which lead to tracking him. Anyway good luck again on drawing a tag!
