How about a guy that wants a 50” moose?

i can definitely give a few pointers -

1. Research Elk moose Habits
2. Study Maps
3. Scout the Area
4. Use Binoculars and Spotting Scopes
5. Listen for calls
6. Be Patient and Persistent
7. Follow Regulations

That’s hogwash. Cough up some unit numbers. I’m short on time

im thinking 99 this year

I did a little looking around, and if I read correctly, the world record B&C Shiras moose had a 53" spread and was shot in the early 1950s. 50" these days is ambitious.

Almost any truthfully outside of a few backcountry areas. If a person has time to hunt and travel I wouldn’t apply anywhere north of the salmon river

I could probably only hunt 2 weeks. Does that change your answer?

This post almost gave me a heart attack.

It was in my best interest to leave it alone.

If you’re not a resident no; only reasons I apply where I do is because it’s close to home so I can day hunt it and I have limited time to take off

103, 210 and 312

 

[cgasner1]

I can’t decide on A or F I know A has bigger bulls and more roads for cruising. But F has those amazing draw odds and a little bigger bulls

I have a dilemma with what unit to apply my wife for this year. She having calf surgery in September and will have mobility issues for a month.

I’m giving up on our Plan A units and considering a few units I know that can be more road hunting type units. One unit has terrible draw odds but monster bulls. Other unit has better draw odds but smaller bulls.

I had a day years ago where I counted 48 bull moose from the cab of my pickup, it was insane. Unit had fairly decent draw odds. I really kick myself for not putting in for moose tags back then.

On public?

 

[TheTone]

On public?

The vast majority yes. I only remember one as being exceptional. It was after a big snow dump and moose were moving from the high country to winter range

Go south for big antlers this year. I'm expecting this means active fire will be a factor in Central and North this season.

Thank you sir!

Where do I go if I’m just trying to pull a bull out?

How big of fella are you?

 

[Redraider7]

How big of fella are you?

Real big

 

[BAKPAKR]

Real big

I would still make sure the bull was on the uphill side of the road.

Dates are important.

I'd rather hunt 2 days in October than 2 weeks in early September.

Yes. I am targeting hunts with early Oct. dates during the rut
