Good stuff Hank !
Still got time to get yours too ?
If so, good luck.
There's nothing better than fresh (young) moose meat !

I would have to fly back up again to get mine. I still have plenty of time before the tag ends, just not sure I can get away from work again. I still have 4 deer tags I can fill so I am not super worried about filling my moose tag. My buddy is sending me back with a bunch of meat.

It's some pretty dry country that cant cough up a cow in three days of looking!
Makes a guy wonder wtf they are giving out antlerless tags in that area to begin with??? Glad you guys were able to get some meat!

We were wondering the same thing. There was a couple of guys that were just leaving when we showed up and they hadn't seen a single moose in the week prior. The wheeler trails were destroyed and the only moose they saw get killed was brought out by a group of guys on a tracked argo. I guess they went in about 10 or 12 miles. We figured it would be a fairly easy hunt but it proved otherwise. Lots of freshly burned timber in that area might have had something to do with it.

Lots of drawing hunts that seem like they should be fairly easy on paper turn out to be a bitch. BTDT...DC001 falls in that category.

There are ways to get one in there that are not too tough, but you gotta know the secrets My wife and I pulled a dink out of the pass in a day hunt, but you gotta be lucky and persistant.

Pard shot a bunch of chickens w/ his .410 peestol on our trip. Everything inside was blue, even the inside of the body cavity.
My 'white' horse rolled and had Purple all over his body! I'll have to look for the picture.

How has the moose population been in that area? I know it's been so so in other parts. Dam wolves.

Good show. Were you hunting around hard luck creek!
That burn in your pix looks more recent than the hard luck fire ?
