Title: Moose hunt 2018
Post by: Ken on October 21, 2018, 06:25:51 AM
I was fortunate enough to be invited on a moose hunt again this year.  My buddys wife had her license   We got a small bull on day 4 of the hunt.  Had 3 points on one side and looked like a muskox horn on the other.  Only 475 pounds hanging at the butcher but probably the best moose meat I've ever had.  Great times with great friends.

Nice! Our moose season was shut down a few years back as the population has been dropping. Most likely cause is too many whitetails moving into the moose range, and they carry disease that is deadly to the moose. It's nice to be able to take an animal like an elk or moose where you really get a large amount of meat!

congrats.
Looks a lot like the small bull I shot in Newf in 1998.
My wife called him the milk on his mouth moose.
Small but delicious,better than the 2 cows I got in the 90s also.
