Default good to hear

That's good to hear. the moose population in the Wilmore had taken a beating for years because of all the Wolves. Last time I was in there which is about 10 years ago, there were lots of Elk, but never saw one moose and only a few signs that there were any in there. I was way back on Sulphur over the ridge by the Cabin.

Great pics! I was backpacking in Willmore a few weekends ago and there was moose crap everywhere I went. Didn't bump into one, but tonnes of good sign.

Good winter area in those valleys, very few moose around in the summer/fall. There are a few crankers around for sure, but not many.

X2 I've been to that area I believe they winter in there. Just a ton of sheds.
