My Wyoming Moose :-)

[mooselover]

LAST EDITED ON Nov-26-07 AT 08:01PM (MST)[p]Here is a photo of my first moose, I got it in Boulder, WY in September! I passed up 7 bulls, but this one was by far the best! He's only 40 inches wide, but green scores a 140. I am happy with him.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-26-07 AT 10:08PM (MST)[p]I wish you all the best of luck drawing! I drew my first year I put in with NO preference points. I was really lucky and everyone hates me, but man it's worth it! I wasn't going to let them down by throwing it away.

Great Bull, Sent you a PM...Tom

 

[Chesterwyo]

Well done. I might be applying for that same tag next year I have enough points to draw. How many days did you hunt?

 

[mooselover]

We hunted 4 days. We scouted alot and learned the area well, but only saw one cow moose before the season opened. After that we saw over 25 moose, but there is a lot of private land in that area (Area 4), and we did alot of hiking and 4-wheeling. Feel free to ask if you anymore questions!

LAST EDITED ON Nov-26-07 AT 11:34PM (MST)[p]Nice moose, way to go! Unit 4, same unit as I took my bullwinkle in, back in 2002. Yours is a little bigger, prettier too! I shot mine near Boulder also, on a ranch that had a big marshy area. You are in for some excellent eating in addition to a nice mount.

Great job!
I'm looking at burning my points soon. Were you on private land when you shot your bull?

 

[D13er]

as always, I expected to see some unshaven thug. I am thouroughly impressed.....

No, I was not on private land, but I did need access through private land where I killed mine, but the people were really nice and did not mind. All of the rest of the moose I saw was not on private land either, but most of my area was private, but we spent alot of time out there learning the area before my season opened so I would know where I could go.

 

[wapiti11]

mooselover thanks for the reply. If I draw I will have to talk to you some more.
Great job...Take care...

Excellent! Congrats!!! I just showed my 9 yr old daughter who cannot wait to be out there w/ me next year.

I am putting in for moose this year (9 points). Probably going to double w/ a couple of deer tags (Region H, right?) w/ my 2 sons who each have 2 pref points.

We used to see lots of moose when fishing in that area - New Fork, etc. Yes, the private landowners there are (or at least WERE) VERY amiable when we'd contact them for access.

Btw, how long is the moose season there - all I can find are Season Open dates.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-04-07 AT 11:29PM (MST)[p]Moose season here (in Wyoming) for rifle season this year was September 20 - October 31 so it is pretty long.

Here is the link with the dates:

It varies per area.

Goodluck!!

LAST EDITED ON Dec-05-07 AT 08:09PM (MST)[p]Thanks, Mooselover! I looked all over for that info - I thought.

What were the deer herd and the hunter pressure like in that unit? I am considering doubling up the moose tag w/ deer tags. My sons each have 2 pref points, so I'm certain they can draw - but if the habitat doesn't really hold fairly decent mule deer, then we'll just do one tag or the other.

Thanks D. I find myself searching each thread for your reply because you really crack me up. Too damn funny.

Nice moose by the way miss.

 

[lymanboy]

Awesome pics and thanks for sharing...I will get one someday just playing the waiting game in WA. Congrats and thanks for sharing...Justin

 

[mooselover]

We ran into several hunters when we were scouting but by the time my season opened most of the deer hunters I think moved on somewhere else. We saw alot of doe, but only one 5X5 buck while moose hunting and I think we saw one cow elk the entire time. There were alot of people camping out there, but deer season ended on October 8 so if you don't fill your tag early you have plenty of time to after most of the other hunters are gone. We had a deer tag too and were going to shoot that one buck I saw, but by the time we sneaked up on him he was gone and I was too excited to find moose to try and keep up with him. We saw all the moose in the early morning or right before dark so I didn't want to spend too much time on a deer and give up my time for moose, but I got my moose that evening so it was probably a good thing!

Congrats Jill, on an awesome moose. I visited your website and checked out all of the other pics. Job well done. Your boyfriend is lucky to have a girlfriend that likes to hunt. My wife likes the hiking and camping, which I'm thankful for, but not so much the hunting. Keep up the good work!
