Moved to Idaho from Oregon 4 years ago started putting in for moose 3 years ago after having residency. Was shocked I actually drew. I will try and update regularly, this is new to me being on any forum I have lurked here for a couple years and thought I would share this as repayment for the enjoyment I have had read others. I have been archery hunting since 1999 starting at age 30 so the plan is to use my bow for September so I can elk hunt at the same time. Been starting my daily hike 1 mi 300 ft elevation up and down twice on weekends. Started the learning process on moose as no experience since Oregon doesn’t have a season. Add I might have an Oregon archery elk tag since I put in before drawing a moose tag lol. So I could end up needing to buy another freezer or completely wore out from chasing elk, moose, elk in 2 states I know horrible problem. Not sure about posting unit number. But will take any information about moose habits and preferred hang outs to aid the scouting. Here’s to a great year.
 
Congrats! have hunted a couple east Idaho units for moose. DM with unit if want to see if I may have experience to share in your unit.

Well it’s official I received my tag in the mail today.

I did go drive around and get eyes on the unit yesterday and got a few areas to scout more in dept through the summer.

Really looking forward to something new as this moose journey gets underway, hope to accomplish this with a bow.
 
I'm excited for you and seeing the progress of your hunt. Hope you get nice bulls.
 
Made another trip, lots of cattle and morman crickets🤢they are slippery and distracting lol. I have 2 cameras up to help verify I’m in right spots. I think I’m to honed in on elk as I keep finding lots of them. 2 more months to figure out where the moose are.
