Do hunters has a preference in case of Moose

Bull Or Cow Preferred ...?

[sawbill]

Do you mean as table fare or the actual hunting aspect?

The allure of a trophy bull is nice but I was always the one in the group advocating for targeting whichever sex gave us our best chance at drawing an adult tag. I lost the vote every time to the guys that wanted to bring the big rack home.

Chances being equal, I would prefer to hunt a for a bull.

I call, so we prefer a bull....rack size doesn’t matter !!

It doesn't matter,anymore,for our crew. I just got off a skype conference. For us,this year's hunt is officially a wash. Our older hunters are all high risk. The consensus is the risk will still be just too great. We'll wait until the new system kicks in next year.

Some hunters always want to walk the woods with the hunter who has a Bull tag in his pocket .....
Year after year .... and that's is unacceptable ...
I chose the area and sex, where the smaller group size require,
and a guaranteed Getting.... the tag.... For.... The.... GROUP ....
Psychology is very interesting .....

Different strokes for different folks. It may be unacceptable to you,but,to others,it's not. One thing that's certain is we can NOT condemn the traditions and morals of others. Think it all you like,but,keep your thoughts to yourself. When we condemn others on a public forum,it's important to remember that "wedge issues" such as this fuel the fire of the anti-hunters/gunners who absolutely delight in divide and conquer politics.
As long as they're hunting legally,nothing else matters.

Why is it unacceptable when you have drawn a bull tag to hunt a bull?
I only hunt deer with a buck tag, is that unacceptable as well? Rack or no rack some hunters prefer to leave the females to reproduce. It's either a personal choice or luck of a draw for some. I'm a meat hunter as well and dont ever apply for doe tag, it's my choice and I dont care what others think

Bull not taking in tag allocation.

Generally a bull is bigger (more meat) and yet to have one that didn't taste great. And no hunting experience tops calling in a bull.

I agree with you ,
but hunters complain that they can't get a MOOSE Tag
Well the Cow Moose is a MOOSE ... And is an opportunity to hunt Moose
I don't want to start a conflict or offend anybody on this forum ,
just to point out that lot of Moose hunting opportunity has been lost in the past
over a Bull... or Cow ..... choice ...!
And lot off feathers get raffle over this in the hunting groups .....
Which is also can be good , for shaking up the group , and forming or reorganizing new groups .
