When I shot my bull in the end of October. They seem to show more signs of the rut then September/early October. This weather is finally cooling down. So that will help. When it was hot out. We didn’t see any or much sign. First week of October is a good time to be in the woods. Not many people...
I would stay close to those cows or try to find them. Everyone said the rut was around this time and into October. French mountain would be a good starting point
Got lucky and drew this tag as a nonresident. Looking forward to this hunt as it sounds like it had potential.
Anyone have any tips on equipment and the terrain for this area? Or any information? I would trade a guided salmon trip in WA for help.
Well luck was finally on my side. Took 19 days but I filled my OIL moose tag for Idaho. It was the hardest hunt of my life. We worked really hard and were rewarded with a 42.5in bull which for my unit is quality bull. We fought broken trailers, broken ATVs, every weather element possible, over...
Props to you elk hunters. After spending several weeks and seeing elk around but really scattered. They seem so scared for their life every time you see them. We also found wolf tracks almost every time we see elk tracks. I’m still very hopeful on my moose hunt. I’m taking a week off to just...
3rd trip in and still haven’t laid eyes on a bull. Had a close encounter with what I’m pretty sure was a bull moose and not a cow but he wouldn’t come out of the thickest stuff you can imagine. I’be hunted 16 days now and I think the weather is the biggest factor that isn’t helping my cause. I...
I feel like a lot of moose hunting has luck involved, that you happen to be in the right place or at the right turn when they show themselves since the country is so big and thick. You just gotta stick with it and be in the woods.
So far it’s been tough here too. The moose don’t seem to be moving much if any at all. Just spent 5 days hunting to not even see a moose. We spent daylight to dark in the woods. It was fun and we learned a lot again and came close one time. I’m going back for 7 days this week.
