Who's in for moose!
« on: June 09, 2015, 09:52:00 PM »
Well, it's getting closer for Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont Moose drawings!

Who is in and let us know your outcome.  As a past Maine non-res. drawee (?), I am a continual optimist     :thumbsup:      :pray:  !

I'm not in any draws, but I sure am thinking I would like to do a moose hunt one of these days!

I skip the draws and go directly to where I can buy a tag.  Just over 3 months till I head out for a 2 week DIY moose hunt.

To me it's like playing the lottery, I don't like to gamble, and prefer to be able to plan well in advance of any hunt.

Two Week Moose hunt.  Sounds great!  I hunted moose once several years ago in BC.  Kind of an odd outcome.

Last ve too but its one moose per lifetime here in Colorado.

Tough to impossible to draw here so I just enjoy them when they wander across my property.  :)

I'm in for Maine.  Been lucky so far this year, drawing two elk tags so, what the heck might as well try for a trifecta.  Someone has to win, might as well be me.

In for Maine - long odds,  but someone is going to be the lucky one.

I wish I was. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time, but circumstances won't allow it right now. I should have done it a bunch of years ago.

When it comes to wild meat, moose is at the top of my list. Delicious! And it has to be a rush to hunt them.

I've seen a few tracks up at camp, and It's cool just knowing they're there, but that's a long way from hunting them. Maybe someday.

Good luck to you folks that are in the lottery, and to all of you on your hunts. I wish you the best.   :thumbsup:

I use to be in all of them until I found out how bad the odds were for non residents.

In for Maine myself. Home state NH has a declining moose population and has reduced the draw permits this year to 127, I believe, for the state. Personally would like to see the season suspended until the numbers rebound.

I'm in for Maine.  Longshot but worth the fun just to have a chance. Got a call from Eldon Jandreau a couple of days ago .  I'm sure he'll be guiding someone - maybe a tradganger!

A Canadian Moose hunt is being prescribed in my near hunting future!
