Congrats!

I stopped entering this year since nonresidents really don't have much of a chance. Glad a traditional hunter got a chance.

I dislocated my knuckle on my middle finger, on my shooting hand. I have not been able to shoot my bow. The finger is at about 80%. Moose season is not until late Oct. It should be plenty of time to heal up and start shooting again.
 In the mean time, scouting! I will be bring a camera, I will post any interesting pics, as I go.

Scouting Day one:

6:15 AM
25 yard from the truck. That is a 20 oz coffee cup sitting in the moose track.

6:35 AM 400 yards from truck. Having coffee with a 4 point  bull and a cow, Good Morning.

I spent about an hr with the moose, so close I could hear them eating. Another 20 yards and the bull would have been in bow range.

Hope you can get it done Eli. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you. Someone shooting a moose with a trad bow in VT would be special. I think its only been done once.
