Walt Longmire Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Moose season opened today for archery. Went out before dawn. We saw about 15 moose, 2 of them being bulls. One wasn't legal due to antler restrictions. The legal bull did not stick around. Also helped a couple guys track one they had stuck. They were still looking for it when we moved on. We'll go back tonight to see how they did. I'm thinking it was a shoulder shot and likely not fatal for the moose. Very smoky here today from the fires. High 60's and still dry as hell. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I saw one cow at a distance last week in the Tetons. Getcha some. Not sure I'd want to be within arrow distance of a big horny bull moose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I wanna try moose meat sometime. If moose burgers are as good as elk burgers, then I'll know I'll be hooked! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Longmire Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 We have seen 8 bulls since yesterday morning. One was legal. We saw him twice, but he hauled ass both times. It's dry as hell. The 10 day forecast shows a 25% chance of rain next weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose move slower and have looser muscle grain more like cows in my opinion. Elk is good but leaner like a deer. Not like any of it is bad though!

Walt Longmire Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Saw this bad boy today while out bow hunting. I couldn't talk myself into whacking him. Right at the lower size limit to be legal. Needs to have a 50" wide rack. I graphed him out based on a 10" estimate between the eyes at 49". Dang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
