Moose hunt on the Moon Ranch
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2007 7:07 am
This story starts last spring on the turkey hunt. On the way back from the boulders I called my credit card to find out it was hit for 308.00 dollars, I knew what that meant, moose tag. I drew a tag on a CWMU called the Moons ranch. I used to hunt elk near the ranch and knew there was moose on it so I thought with only 4 points I would give it a try.

I talk with the CWMU operator a lot I was not allowed to get on the ranch to scout so I had to trust the operator. He said that I could get a bull up to 40 inches. There was a lot of bulls moving through the ranch during the rut. However, I got there a little to late and the rut was winding down. Little did I know that this five day hunt would be one of the hardest hunt I have been on!

We camped on the north fork about 4 miles from the ranch.

Day 1... We saw one cow on top of a wicked steep ridge in the pines.. Day two at first light we saw a cow and a tiny bull running down a ridge, they were in a big hurry to get somewhere.

I got within bow range with this guy but I passed.....
I could not find a bull and time was running out I was down to one more day and I was sweating bullets... I thought that I was going to come empty handed.......... TO BE COUNTINED.......
