I have the same Wasatch moose tag this year. I have only hunted a couple of days counted probably 18 moose - 12 bulls. Most bulls are yearlings to 30-inch spreads. I am having the same problem as you, not finding the larger bulls. Hunted Wildcat this past saturday (saw zilch), however, ran into 2 other moose hunters. One guy mentioned that he was seeing moose & larger bulls high above the tree line, he had a photo of a fairly nice one 42-45 inches wide.

Not sure where the big bulls are hiding out. Normally you see several large moose in Wildcat, maybe it is too early?? Hopefully, the big bulls will come down to the cows this week for the rut?? We have seen 6 cows & only one had a bull in tow. Getting the leaves off the trees should make the spotting easier in October.

Anyway - nice bull. With the price of gas/diesel it makes for a pretty expensive hunt - I can sympathize with your wanting to get the hunt over.

Anyone else sees a decent moose during the muzzleloader or elk hunts I would be interested in hearing about it. Thanks.

one last question - do you think there is 8-inches of hair between the horns. I am try to field judge the width on some of these moose?

OCF,

Welcome and best of luck. Not much help on your tag though! Hope the big ones start appearing.

ocf. i started seein alot of moose behind heber, check out the west fork of the duschene river. lotta good area and no one was hunting on it. and mill hollow they have been high up i shot this bull going up center street in heber until you got on to the unita he was only a couple miles from the corrals when you get on to forest land. and down that mill hollow road someone told me they seen two nice bulls after i already shot mine down near the ranger sation. i would check all that area and i think they have been hangin in the higher stuff . o check out along strawberry river just barely up the road like a mile or two there were two bulls there watch all that flats along the tree line on the left side of the road when heading up they were in there probabl mid 30s bull small palms i think a 5x6

Nice Bull. This is the same Tag I have this year - But I'm Still out there looking for the Big Boys for now!! I have been finding the same results - either dont find any or there just a bunch of small boys chasing the cows. Hopefully I will find him this weekend!!!
