Vermont or New Hampshire
I was thinking about applying for bonus points for a moose tag.
How about some pros/cons from you guys who live up north or have hunted the states in the past.
---Thanks fellas.

Plenty of moose in Vermont. I've heard that it is one of the easier non resident draws. The only problem can be that you cannot quarter them, and a lot of areas are national forest - no motorized vehicles. Luckily, there are plenty of farmers willing to rent their horse teams during the season. I hunt in the southern part of Vermont, less tags available, but closer to home. Go onto the the state website, it will give you a list of tag allotments and rules. I believe you have to apply by May 30th.

RE: Vermont or New Hampshire
Lots of moose in both states but I think the harvest percentage is higher in NH. Not sure which area has the better chance of a NR draw. In Vermont after the draw they have a blind bid for 5 tags. The highest 5 get the tags. If you have the money that might be a way to go. I think the cheapest winning bid was 2 or 3 grand but not sure.
