Moose!!!!!

Spring and the moose are migrating. I saw one Saturday a.m. southeast of Eganville in a field WMU59. Got some nice pics of it but can't upload them.
One had went through my bushlot as well (between Eganville and Pembroke - about 1 mile from the SE corner of 55B) - the tracks were fairly fresh a few hours old - not at all melted out.
If I live to be 80, I should get a bull tag for that area.

The population of Moose down here is pretty astounding, I am in the north west section of WMU 60 and we get lots of Moose coming down the Crow River watershed with Algonquin Park only being 60klms as the crow flies. But I am in the same boat as you for a 80th birthday hunt..

Great pic, just seen a cow and calf on side of hwy 144 drinking from a road salt puddle. Beside the winter fur, they looked healthy.
Some usually move in my camp property once the snow goes.

Always great to see moose, especially when you get the chance to take photos or videos of them too!
We don't get moose tags in WMU 60 either Gilroy, but we are not going to wait until we're 80 years young to go moose hunting again. We simply go to far away places and BUY tags whenever we can afford the trip as a group of hunters.
In 2020 we bought a tag in WMU 15A which was relatively cheap due to it being during pandemic times.
This year we have purchased a tag in WMU 31, and it is going to be a fairly expensive trip by our standards.
The point is, that if you manage to put a few good guys together, and commit time and cash to a moose hunt, you will always have the opportunity to hunt moose somewhere in Ontario (or other province$). :)

It would be nice to actually see the raw data and how it was collected… it doesn’t matter which WMU we are discussing it is amazing that year after year the actual sightings from people actually in the field Spring or Summer or Fall or Winter, are ridiculously opposite MNR surveys. I would suggest MNR is manipulating the data while we the peons pay the piper…
