After nine years of trying, finally drew a bull moose permit for WMD # 7 in Maine.  Looking for any info as to were to start scouting before the season begins. I drew into the Oct 10-15 time slot.  Also, any info on reasonable cabin rental available in the Andover/Roxbury Me area would be appreciated.

Congrats on the Bull Moose permit! Now if you drew a permit for WMD # 8 Then I would be able to help you out but im not familiar with WMD #7. Anyway best of luck to you on your Bull Moose hunt and dont forget to post pics if you bag one!

Good Luck!!

No info at all anywhere in ME but would like to congratulate you and wish you best of luck! Go get him!!

Check out Coos Canyon in Byron, Me. They have both campground & nice cabin. The owner is a licensed guide and very hospitable. You should be able to find on internet search. I got a nice bull near Weld, Me several years ago. P/M me and I'll tell you exactly where.

Congradulations on the lottery success.  I've been trying to get one myself for years with no luck.  I'd be looking around the tim pond rd out to eustis... burnt mtn , cow ridge.  I'd also be staying in oquossoc to save on travel time ( i could recommend a couple of rentals too if you like)

     We have a Maine Atlas that has a topo map of the Tim Pond Road area, looks like a good area to hunt.
Any info on rentals in the Oqossoc, Me area would be appreciated.  You are right about the travel time if we find a rental in the Oquossoc, Me area.  Thanks for the reply.

If you are looking for rustic call Sonny at north camps. Connie at russels lakeside rentals could help if you are looking for more amenities. Good Luck ! 60" Bulls get pulled out of there year after year

It was a tough hunt, weather was hot and the Moose only moved early in the morning and late at nite and were located in the cut-overs well off the roads. We did a semi-guide hunt with the guide only guiding, he did an excellent job, as we got a Bull Moose on the second day, dressed out at 760# and had a 45 " antler spread. I have not got the pictures processed yet and I will find out how to sent pics as I've never done that before, I from the old school, take a picture and put it in an album.

Thanks for the Congratulation. Sorry for the delay, I was waiting on the pic's, pic's are on my brother's camera and have not been processed yet, as mentined before. As for a tough hunt reference, it was a tough hunt to us, as we did most of the work ourselves, i.e.- it took 32 hours of actual drive time to drive from FL to ME, and we scouted two days before the season came in. Yes, we took the Moose on the second day, but it also took us 5 hours to get the the Moose to our truck on the day of the kill, then we had to check the Moose at the ME checking station for the WMA we were in. We skinned and quartered the Moose, put the quarters in 120 Qt Coolers and headed back to Fl, taking another 34 hours of drive time. We processed the Moose ourselves which took another 2 days. So a 2 day hunt actually took eleven days from start to finish.

wow man, i didn't realize you drove up from florida. that makes it all the swetter. i hear you on the processing. when i took mine in 2001 it was just two of us. we shot moose at 11:30 and got it on the truck at around 4:00 were at the check station by 5:00 and at the butcher at 7:00pm. first day of hunt. but i was only up from massachusetts. congrats on a great hunt.
