Well here it is the day before rifle season in many areas. Our crew has 2 antlered moose and 1 antlerless tags. I haven’t been seeing nearly as many moose this year as last year so I may need your help.
Now I’m not asking for your honey holes or anything like that but if anyone knows where we can find some moose (preferably alfalfa fed) west of Edmonton we would appreciate it.
Now to ensure it is quality meat we would prefer that all moose you are reporting to me are no more than 18 months old and please ensure the antlerless is a dry heifer..
In addition we are only interested in moose that you see in the morning as we don’t want to shoot one late in the day as we hate having to use flashlights when gutting or skinning.
We would prefer moose in fields as opposed to bush as we wouldn’t want to exert to much energy trying to get them out. Hilly fields are best that way you can just roll them into the back of the pickup.
Private land works best as then we don’t have to deal with other hunters on crown land.
Moose that are around farm yards are good as they are accustomed to people and dogs barking and usually you can get fairly close to them. It also helps significantly to get close since we all hunt with our SKS’s and they are not known for their accuracy.
We also would like, if possible the moose on the west side of north/south bound roads. This way we don’t have to deal with the morning sun shining in our eyes making for a more difficult shot.
Thanks in advance for your help.
