ive decided i want to put in for moose (utah)this year but im not sure what the good units and the best chance for a successful hunt is any info on what units are the top units would be nice, trophy is not a huge huge deal just as long if i drew out i could get some good opportunities ay a couple bulls im thinkin rifle hunt as wel,l but if muzzeloader or archery is better well info on that would be nice to
11,456
i know it took my uncle like 25 years to draw on henry mtn bison so im prepared to wait a long time but i need to start putting in now. and i dont have a clue what unit
i meant range
Then, as you climb the points ladder, you can get picky with which unit you want.
P.S. Most likely it will be longer than you expect, but it only took me 5 tries, and gruntsmacker drew fairly early as well. So, DONT EVER GIVE UP HOPE.
get a hold of me when you draw.
Take the unit you are wanting to apply for and subtract half of the permits, those will go to those with max bonus points.
The rest will be what you have a chance for.
What unit will hold the best? That you will have to decide on, but the wasatch has some really nice bulls and the units up north too.
contact Chet if you do draw, he is a moose maniac! and willing to help any fellow hunters.
Don't be scared to ask others for help if you do draw out, that is where I found help and ended up getting a nice bull.
Good luck!
here are a few bulls from the wasatch unit
and here is the big boy I got
well thanks fro the info much appreciated
chet likes moose!
There's always people angry at guys drawing with few points, but there are more people that are happy for ya and willing to help!
Gruntsmacker capitalized BIG TIME!!!! I still cant beleive it!!
Mine scored 140 and was 47" He had a baseball sized lump above his eye, a cracked skull, and some pretty serious battlescars on his hide, but his fighting time was up as he was aged at 12+ years. testicles barely there at all, I've killed yearling bucks with bigger nuts!
this is why I like moose so much, they are all so different!
You always here of that 30" buck, or that 380 bull..... but a moose is a moose is a moose, they are all trophys in my opinion!
If you draw with four points, we're gonna form a club! and we'll go moose huntin (with cameras) every fall!!!! lol
good luck!
you ever get that bull scored? post some more pics if ya have em!
9er
He ended up scoring 168 7/8 Gross and 163 3/8 Net
Can't wait to get him back!
Just not to many places to put him in the house though.
Very impressive bull...no matter how often I look at the pics.
