Moose Hunt!! When are you going?

When is everyone heading out for the moose hunt (if you're going)? Our group is heading up to 19 in two weeks - I can't wait! The truck has been serviced and is ready for the 3000+km round trip adventure.We have a large enough group that we were able to draw a Cow and a Bull - we'll be a little over one week shy of the calf hunt, so hopefully the bush won't be as crazy. The temps in the long term are finally starting to drop overnight, so hopefully things will be looking good up there.

Last year we got stuck in a HWY 11 closure due to a fatality near Tamagami resulting in a very, very long detour. Here's hoping for good travel weather and a safe trip for everyone!

Cheers,

FishFrenzy

leaving next thursday. yesterday walking the dog at 6am when the sun was coming up and the cool air in my face got me real excited. The packing will start tonight.

Heavy frost on the ground here this morning. Currently -3 feels like -6

That sounds like a great morning to get out and hunt! I can't wait for the crisp morning air up north.

Already been back for a week. we hunted the first week of archery and harvested a bull on the 3rd morning of the hunt. Good luck to all the guys out there his year

Just returned from 16 c in Armstrong . We had lots of tags but no luck. Very little sign and a lot less hunters than last year. Will be hunting out of my camp in WMU 56 with a bull tag on Oct 19th.

Heading to Hornepayne Wednesday or Thursday. My camp is up there in the 21b side of the 631 highway. Haven't been there for 2 years and pretty anxious to get on the road.

Yep, we have a huge area in around our camp that is inaccessible from any other side, so its nice and quiet. And the nice part of it is its only 2 hours from home, an hour of highway and an hour of logging roads (ie: bird hunting, lol) There is an older camp on the way into mine (roughly 2kms) that Im trying to pickup as well, which would expand our area by a lot. Never see anyone there, and its starting to get run down, so if the stars align and I play my cards right, in next year or two I may be recruiting some guys.

It would be nice to skip the 21 hr drive up the Hinterland and just sit out in front of the house in the burbs....Haha

That nice when you only drive for 2 hours.
I will keep my eyes on here if i see anything by you as far as new recruits go.
Good luck with your hunt and be safe.

My season does not open until the 19th. I will head up that weekend to get the camp ready. I couldn't get Monday off work last year, planned on coming up to camp that night after work, but my cousin tagged a bull in the morning. Guys were coming home Wednesday so I didn't even go up, just met up with them for the butchering. Need less to say, I am chomping at the bit to get up there. Hope everyone has a fun and safe hunt.

Mikepal - really cool moose fight vid

I will be leaving the 17th for 48. Here's to hoping we get some cooler weather, lots of leaves still on the trees there.

leave on the 16th get camp ready and do some scouting..opens up onthe 19ths group drew a bull tag....last yr was my first yr and only had calf tags and of course saw 4 moose and even called in a cow to about 40 yrds for 15 mins....heres hopin for some sucess this yr.

good luck to all

Leaving Thursday for 13 West of Thunder Bay. Small group of us (family only) go up every year. looking forward to it, and really hope that we get one this this year, despite only have Bull tag. Two years in a row we haven't gotten anything. Last year we saw a bull, but at distance, and turned into the bush before we could get a shot and saw a calf, in the no hunt zone across from us.

Good luck everyone.

come back from the last week in sept north of thunder bay.
we got a bull on the 4th day of hunting. good luck

first time in 25 years that I had to miss. the guys are up there now, waiting to hear from them

First moose hunt for me. WMU 50 near Kearney, a guest at a camp there. Calf tags only, unfortunately. Heading up on the 18th.

Tags are nice to have because it is hard to hunt only calves, but I am sure if you are with a good group of guys your week in camp will be a lot of good laughs and stories.

They are a good bunch, Foxx. It will be great.

headin to same area as you....leave on the 16th we hunted only calves last year ended up with tag soup...this yr we drew a bull tag.......grab a bear tag sounds like they are plentiful up there this yr.

good luck fella

Good luck to you as well! Already bought the bear tag!

Hunted 9 days in 16c in Armstrong with no luck the 3rd week of September, but now hunting at my camp in 56 with a bull tag. Matters not whether we fill the tag or not, it will still be a good week in the bush.

Heading to 46 on Sunday the 18th. Gangs hoping to tag another another Bull like we did in 2013

Good luck to all ....and have fun!

Excellent weather forecast for Kearney. Daytime highs 8 to 11 degrees, chance of rain 10 - 40% depending on the day. Heading up tomorrow a.m. . Have a great hunt, everyone who is going at it this week!

One in our group got a calf tag. The rest have bear and small game. WMU29

Just got back yesterday from Quebec with a young bull. Will have story and pics later. Good luck to all heading out this morning.

One of our party got a bull yesterday morning on our way out in Kearney.:moose: The camps next to us did pretty well, too.

Was it ever cold on Monday, though!

congrats guys and welcome home!!
waiting to hear more stories and see pics!!

Home from the moose hunt, WMU 54. My Uncle got a bull on the Tuesday morning. Butchered it up today. A very fun and memorable week.

Got home yesterday. Our group got one calf, the only one spotted all week. A number of cows and bulls presented themselves, but for the lack of tags remained unscathed. I only had a brief cow sighting myself. Good time though.

Congrats! Yep, Monday was cold.

I came home early on Thursday for a funeral and some of the guy's shifts started on Friday. We saw one Monster Bull (no tag) on Tuesday and two Cows (no tag) with two calves on Wednesday PM but couldn't get a shot at either one without risking hitting a Cow. By the time they finally split up,they were across the Park border. I'll be going back next week for a Duck hunt and Deer starts next Monday. The weather is supposed to be warmish,but,we'll see. There were still lots of leaves on the trees. Hopefully,they're all down by next week.

Filled our bull tag in WMU #56 last week ..
