248 (Strathcona/leduc) Golden ranches moose hunting

[BiggieB]

Alright ill be the first to bite the bullet and ask. (and yes i have done lots of scouting)
both me and my father were drawn for the strathcona/leduc county 248 primitive weapon tag (me antler-less, him antlered) and have yet to see a moose during our season (Oct 25-Dec 7)

We mainly hunt Golden ranches out near south cooking lake and we have seen only 1 calf moose back in early October.. i've walked the entire property front to back more then a couple of times and have only seen poop, prints and an old model A or T... Still the few Canadian geese or Duck flying over head but NO BIG GAME

If anyone out there can help me out it would be greatly appreciated, i just wanna know if im wasting my time, when you put on over 35KM in two days on foot and see NOTHING...makes me wonder

(Send me a PM or post on here) if you have any advice that might help me and my dad put some meat on the table Im not looking to take your spot or kill the animal you're after, just a tiny bit of help since we got tag soup last year
