Pepper harvest is going to/has sucked though.

I still do not know what this "rain" crap you guys are talking about. The only water around here that falls out of the air is that which comes from the well by way of the lawn sprinkler.

10 points for your mooses up there, or 3 brow tines? Do they issue any cow tags in your neck of the woods? If so, that's what I'd put in for so I could see a bull. It works for me for elk, why not moose.

Shrap did OK I think. Some of these fellas are just jealous. And as Travis says..............losers.


Well hang in there pal and maybe the rain crap will make a showing and thaw out your hose. OK that doesn't sound right..

Moose regs here... yeah. OK short of hiring a lawyer it goes something like this. It varies a lot by area but it goes from zero moose hunting opportunity to many areas that have an open season for immature bulls. Basically a calf from the previous year so they're 1.5 years old and have no more than 3 points on any antler, often a 2x3 as it turns out. Then it moves to an open season for mature bulls in some areas up north. This is where the at least either three brow tines, or at least one side with more than 10 points total comes into play. Very good binocs and the time to have a good gander is needed here! Then you get in to draws or limited entry where you can apply for any bull, mature bull or even cows in some areas although that one is dwindling. Clear as mud?


Some of that would be incorrect. Moose here, in the North, are open in some regions for any bull from August 23-August 31. Then it switches to 2 point/tripalm/10 point. A 2 point used to be called an "immature bull" but that changed years ago to "two point bull". A two point bull has to have one antler with 2 tines or less on it. Seems pretty straight forward, no? As long as the tines are at least an inch long, and longer than they are wide. A two point bull could be comprised of a bull that has 9 tines with 2 brow tines or less on one side and 2 tines or less on the other. Or a big bull that broke his main beam off before it split, and that main beam is only a beam that is longer than it is wide and doesn't have more than 2 tines. Or a young bull that is just in his first rack, as long as one side only has 2 tines or less. That was the reason that the name changed from "immature bull" to "two point bull". The age of the bull is immaterial and all that counts is that he has one side with 2 tines or less. The BC regs spell out what makes up a tine pretty clearly, and a big bull that has fought hard can lose most of a side and technically meet the definition of a two point bull. Tripalm/10 point are what they sound like, either a minimum of three brow tines below the narrowest point of the antler, or more than 10 total tines on one antler. As long as they are at least an inch long, and longer than they are wide.(Same tine definition for all ungulates province wide.)
