GREAT pics!
My hunting partner had a calf draw tag this year, and saw something like 27 bulls and 9 cows before he was able to fill the tag.
Any other year he would have a bull tag and see nothing but cows and calves!:lol:

Great pictures, lots of moose!

[AxeMan]

Great pics, thank you very much for posting. Is that 6 bulls together in that group? Who said moose are solitary animals......lol.

[elkhunter11]

The pictures remind me of my Camp Wainright moose hunt back in 2001.We turned down several bulls,and on the second day killed two bulls 50 yards apart with mine going 54".From what I hear though,the number of tags have been increased,and moose numbers are far below what they once were in the camp.

Ya great pics, thanks for sharing..

I saw a really nice bull moose, near Edmonton. I even got a picture of it:

Yes, it was really dark, out, when I saw it. :p I got home and lightened the image up:

See (click the images for larger)?

We didn't have any moose tags, for it, so I couldn't shoot. That and it was about 10 minutes after legal light. A guy who had been watching it for a few years, said he figured it to be 58". He (the moose) just sauntered past my truck, on the way out.

Great pics!!! I am still trying to find the perfect prairie WMU for my wife to draw her moose tag next year or the year after. My wife is a P6 and my Dad is a P9 and we'll be drawing in the next couple years for both of them...

Again...cool pics!!

The bulls gang up after the rut, to drink brandy , smoke cigars and talk about their conquests and close calls!:D

Wowzers ... that's a lot of moose

[Rackmastr]

There is something truly magical about a bull moose you can drive a truck or tractor right up to!!!

You have that right,nothing like being able to load quarters directly into the truck box as you clean and quarter the moose.And it's nice to have a warm truck to warm your hands in as they get cold from working in the cold without gloves.
My partner on the Camp Wainwright hunt wasn't crazy about killing a 46" bull on the second day,but when I reminded him that we could drive the truck right to the moose,he quickly changed his mind.It still took us nearly four hours to cape,gut,skin and quarter two bull moose on a cold December day.It would have been downright ugly to have to pack out the quarters as well.

[Rackmastr]

Ya I could imagine man.....thats definatly a bonus of the Wainwright zone as well as the prairie zone.

I shot my bull in a small swamp on a nice day in September....it was sure a bit of work but at least it was nice weather!

My daughter had a antlered moose tag for 526. I took her out a couple of times. We probably saw 40 cow and calves and 1 bull moose.

if u saw 40 cows w/calves or even 20 cows and 20 calves, I think there might have been more than 1 Bull there last fall:lol::lol: seems like the bulls around here have a lot of competition, very few without broken portions of antlers

OK,30 cows and 10 calves would be closer to accurate.::lol::lol: The lone bull looked VERY tired:rolleyes:

I saw a couple where I was in 232...Bull and a Cow
Had the crosshairs right behind his shoulder and chuckled thinking, "Just a light squeeze buddy...you'd be alllll mine"

Good thing no one uses their rifle scope just to look around......

Wonderful pictures:). I drive by many while spraying in the spring and summer that make you wonder what they are doing there.
