After 13 years, I finally got a Maine Moose tag for a cow in zone 6 (Presque Isle area)

Nice! My wife just got our family's first tag for zone 4 in November. Have to do some scouting trips this summer, Baker Lake in the AM for Muskies and scouting in the afternoon!

well damn, it's 'bout time there Gutshot...hope ya get one for sure...I started sending in around 1985..gave up in 2005 or 06...good luck

Good deal. I hear Moose meat is tasty.

He's gonna bring it home whole and put it on the spit....that would be one hellava party moose ranks pretty dang high in the "good food" catagory...

BTW, Mox, whatcha doin' wid da liver and heart? just askin' ya know

My oldest son got a cow tag in the same zone about 10 years ago.  We did it in 3 days.  It was a 2 year old.  this time, I'm hoping for an older larger cow.  Oh, yah, I'm sure I can share some with my friends.  That means you guys!!! 

Been practicing my Moose Call...

Here Moose,

Here Moose

Sound OK?

yep that sounds about right...just don't call'em "moosie" that hurts their feelings and they run away...couple of years ago a fellow I know fell in a muck hole and made some sort of high pitched "noise", the fellow he was hunting with said he screamed like a li'l girl..but anyway, he was dang near run over by a big cow moose...said she busted out of a thicket and stopped about 2 feet from him...s'pose he was still making that noise cause they said she turned and ran right back into that same thicket...no one got a shot at her, his gun was in the muck and I guess they (guide and his buddy) were laughing to hard....saw apicture they took of him just as he climbed out of the hole..looked like the Swamp Thing...covered with mud and grass and all sorts of other mucky looking stuff...head to toe...watch yer step and your back trail...

26 days and counting. Still practicing my moose calling...

Here moose...

Hear moose...

6 more days and I leave for Maine!!!

5 more days...

We are in Maine.  I think the power has been restored to our home too!!!  We haven't seen any moose yet, but Sunday we can't hunt anyway so off to the gravel pit for some target practice... 

glad ya made it up there safe, shoot us a big'un bro....keep us posted  and take lots of pictures....

Luck was with me.  We found this young buck feeding and he wouldn't leave, so I got out of the truck, loaded my firearm, and shot him.  Weighed 127 lbs.  Early afternoon we found this good size moose, she weighed 510 dressed with a calculated live weight at 663 lbs.  Both are at a butcher shop that vacuum packs...

ok the pics didn't stick, now what??

congrats on the moose...nice li'l buck also...

Little late, but congrats on the Moose. How is the meat?

This is the toughest moose meat I have ever eaten.  Next time, I will NOT let a butcher in Maine touch it.  I could have done a better job with an axe and a blindfold.

That sucks. I think I had moose once and as I recall it was pretty good.

That was that run up and down the mountains Black Hills turkl burd you ate, Toonces!
