OK...I really don't hate you. Just the draw system I hate.

Good luck & have fun.

Congrats on the tag, and get a good pack to bring the meat out.:smile:

1) learn how to call.

I called in the first and only moose I shot. They can be tricky to find.

shoot it close to the road and its easier to get it out...LOL

My advice is to listen to what your father in law or other have to say about the moose hunt.

Do lots of asking on what would be the best place to hunt in the area you got picked for.

Get maps and steady them look for lots of water ,small lake ,moose like the water.
Congrats on getting your first moose LEH ,good luck this fall on connecting with one and others.

5-13 is a huge area. is it for A, B, or C ? Where ever it is practise your calling. And if you see one look at where it is before you shoot, not after. Too many people have shot and then realize how bad it is going to be to get it out. Congratulations and good luck. Mike

Congrats. I have drawn a moose tag for the first time as well.

Good Luck,

Bring a cordless recipricating saw. Chain saw can make a mess. Meat bags not tarps. Or even poly used to insulate homes.
Shoot it up hill close to the road. And drop it with 1 shot so you dont have to chase it.

sounds like I may have to cut him up, anyone know of a place to learn this art?

MAY????, unless your Superman, cutting him up is a fore gone conclusion!!!
Get yourself "Deer Processing 101" on DVD from just about any outdoor store.
Under $20. They cover deer, but a moose is just a BIG deer!!! Then ask lots of questions here.

Have you ever done a deer, or a bear?

If you have lots of rope and know how to use pullys you can get him in the truck if he is not to far.My famly has it set up if it is with in 1000yrds of the road we don't 1/4 it.I got a moose draw as well so if I get lucky I will take pics of how we do it for those who would like to see.If you do have to 1/4 and drag the 5piont harness deer dragger shure help and a friend with a strong back and a weak mind is always good to.

Yes bag one every year so far and confidant yet a novice at the guttin part, and i have a great teacher for that, problem is that last moose he did was when he was 20ish with his dad. Thanks for the tips happy hunting,
