I got a VT cow moose permit for D-2 in '04. Saw 10 moose, 3 cows, 2 calfs and 5 bulls. All easy kills except 3 of the bulls that I jumped up, had I not been bowhunting. I hunted an area that I deer hunted for many years. Since our moose season started, success rates have gone down, because moose are really not dumb. We have moose in most of the state bur your E zones will have the most with the numbers dropping as you move farther south and east. You definately need to scout if you want a quality hunt.
