Not much, because of a partly dislocated knee. But am going out this evening to do some glassing, in case a cow appears where I might be able to hobble within range....
Have only seen bulls.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

It'll be over soon, one way or the other. Today and tomorrow are the last two days of the season....

Have only seen bulls. Is this the same knee that Lena knocked out a couple years back?

Good luck John. Take care of that knee and get some buddies to help get your cow moose out tomorrow or the next day!

Well John, best of luck. You've waited a lot of years for the tag.
Believe me though, I understand. I've been hobbling around all season on one good leg and avoid the rough country for now.
We're all pulling for you to tag your moose!

Wishing you all the best on you moose hunt. I hope your knee hangs in there for you, I know they can be painful when not working right.

The final report: No moose.
Didn't even get a real chance to find one yesterday, as a big weather front blew in with winds up to 50+ mph, accompanied during the last half-hour of light by what the National Weather Service called a "snowburst," pretty much blotting out visibility.
But there will be a no-moose article in Rifle Loony News, because I learned a lot of stuff from the entire experience....

She drew her second moose tag (a cow for the same area I just drew) in 2009, so she's been putting in again for a few years now....
