Only Two Months

[Elkhunter]

til I know if I get to go after moose and/or sheep this year. I got the apps in, in plenty of time but will not know until around the first of May.

Best of luck Bill!!

 

[Elkhunter]

Thanks TK. I have maximum amount of points for moose and only 3 for sheep. Every year they seem that it is important to send my money back to me. For once I wish they would send me a tag instead.

 

[trophy_killer]

You will get a moose tag this year, I just know it.

 

[Elkhunter]

I hope so. I will be hunting moose where I go for elk also. Cool, then FLIPPER & MEATHEAD can help pack it out.

 

[trophy_killer]

Don't make them do that, make Russ pack out half of it!!

 

[Elkhunter]

LOL

If I could get him down here at that time I would have him pack the whole thing out.

It would be nice to have some fresh moose or sheep steaks to go with the elk steaks though.

 

[trophy_killer]

Pack out the whole thing!!

That's some smart thinking Bill. I think you should have him do that.

 

[Elkhunter]

I will work on him.

He would be a great one to have around for anything that needs to be packed out. He is a powerhouse.

Hey Bill, is this going to be a party hunt. Ain't never shot a moose either.

This just might be my best hunt ever

Well WH, it just depends on which rifle I have wih me that day. I also have a 458 win mag that I want to use this year.

 

[MEATHEAD]

Bill, I want worry about bring a gun I'll just use one of yours. Save me alot of trouble.

 

[Elkhunter]

LOL

I do have a few, not as many as a lot of guys but my fair share. Like I told you on the phone, I take like 4 with me and just depends on the day's plan as to which one I am going to use. Glad I had the backup last year when I lost a screw out of my 7mm mag. I am close enough to home I can go in and get another, but why bother if Idon't have to.

 

[MEATHEAD]

Bill, you didn't answer me. If you get a moose tag is this going to be a party hunt. never killed a moose either.

 

[Elkhunter]

No I didn't answer you, I didn't even see that post. Went right by it. Don't know about a party hunt, but if I get one we can sure have a party.

The season for moose would open on the 10th and run til the end of October and the area I put in for is the same area I elk hunt in.

 

[MEATHEAD]

Sure hope you get a tag. I would like to try for a moose one day. Next year I think I going to go for a bou in alaska if the hunttalk bunch gose up there.

 

[Washington Hunter]

Caribou hunting...now that's something I would love to do.

Elkhunter, well I suppose if you use your 375 H&H for elk, a 458 would be just right for moose!

 

[Elkhunter]

One of these days I would also like to do a bou hunt. It is just not possible for me to do next year I don't think.

If I get drawn for sheep, the season starts on the 1rst of September so I hope to get one, if I get drawn, early before you guys come out.

 

[FLIPPER]

Good luck on the tags Bill

I have a friend in Maine that has been after me for the past couple of years to comw up and moose hunt. The best thing is its only $30.00 for the chances at the draw and only $250.00 if you draw.

 

[Elkhunter]

That's a good deal Brian. You should take him up the offer.

LOL WH

It would seem fitting wouldn't it. Most of my hunting is done with my 7 mag, but like anything in life, we need a little variety now don't we. Maybe if I get drawn it will go down with my 338 or my even my handgun.
