well iam back i hunted hard for almost 10 full days and did not see a lot of bulls, all in all i seen about 20 moose and only 6 bulls i seen a lot of cows but no good bulls.it was pretty warm and a full moon alot of the time i was up there so it did not seem like much was moving around. i hunted currant creek,wildcat and co-op creek pretty hard! and was not finding any good bulls. talked to a lot of elk hunters, forest service guys , and ranchers. no one had been seeing any good bulls. i ended up moving over toward mill hollow and ended up taking one out of there. i hope your all not to dissapoionted lol. i know he is probably a dink to all you guys up there, but i am happy with him and worked hard for him so its a good feeling . i was a little bummed at first because of lack of plams but he is quite different. looks more like elk antlers and i have been callin him the moelk(moose/elk) lol but he does not have much for palms or points but he is just shy of 42 inches wide. i am not very familiar with the area and could not afford to do a lot of scouting and after spending all the money i already have i could not pass. he was the biggest bull i had seen. i contemplated taking him for a while passed got back to the truck and went back and took him.i shot him with my rifle not a bow unfortunatley but its ok and i feel pretty happy i got a decent buck and a trophy in the eye of the beholder moose this year lol . i had an awesome couple hunts this year and all the highs and lows ya go through is so exhilarting looking back and i feel relieved to have gotten a moose i am happy with! i wanna thank everyone that was willing to help and share info on the area . it helped a great deal. i will get more pics and the story up another day and thanks again! hope ya enjoy!
o ya i was wearing those shoes around camp cause they slip on easy and forgot to change them so of course i killed and got them all bloody and wet lol lucky shoes i guesslol

I Don't see anything wrong with that bull. He is a great animal. The best part about it is you now have a freezer full of delicious moose meat. Good job. :thumb

CONGRATS OX! I can't see the pics at the moment (I am at work and Photobucket is one of the many sites that it blocked by our firewall) but will check them out when I get home.

Just wanted to say CONGRATS on a successful hunt...especially with the tough hunting conditions you were experiencing.
