I got lucky this year and pulled a random tag with 1 point for my second bull moose tag here since 2015. My first tag went pretty well finding this bull: ![[Linked Image from photos.imageevent.com]](https://photos.imageevent.com/buzzandpat/huntingpictures/websize/DSC00872.JPG) ![[Linked Image from photos.imageevent.com]](https://photos.imageevent.com/buzzandpat/huntingpictures/websize/DSCN02771.JPG) This year was a rather quick hunt. I found a place scouting that just looked right and found a good bull within the first 15 minutes. Called him in from over a mile. ![[Linked Image from photos.imageevent.com]](https://photos.imageevent.com/buzzandpat/huntingpictures/websize/IMG_4507.JPG)

I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

Shot it with a 7RM and 140 grain etips...about 180 yards. Called him in with a single cow call from about a mile.

Nice bulls!
Those moose radar ears abilities impress the heck out of me. It's just unbelievable what they can hear, and how they can pinpoint the sound from long distances.
I've a friend that called in a bull from about 3 miles, by the map, with repeated calls. They were on a bluff up here, and he was just a pinpoint out on the flats in the spotting scope at first. Every time he stopped they would call again, and he would turn his antlers this way and that way to catch the sound for location.
When he stepped out of the brush at 50 yards, he died. Short pack, as they could drive the Nodwell right up to him.

Congratulations on your bulls, they are both dandy's.
I've got 21 pp and hoping I draw this year. Probably my last good chance to draw since they are cutting back on non resident tags.
Beautiful bulls!
