That right there is a dandy lawn ornament  :D  Not to mention a super shiras. So just what are your chances to draw a tag in the area. Can't say you would be hunting that one!  :banghead:    :D

that is very cool. If you put out a little corn will they stay.  MW   Why are they coming in to your place? Can you send your rain and your moose this way....

Blackhawk.
You did post a lifeguard, just to preclude any liability over that moose using your pool, Right?   :biglaugh:

I live at 8,000 feet and they hang out up here all summer.  There are a couple of ponds in the area.

No need for corn they just hang out.  We may not see them for a week or so then they show up.  

Last year during the rut a big bull was chasing a cow all over.  I was standing outside and they ran between me and the house.  Glad he was focused on her and didn't see me.

In Utah a tag is hard to come by, a very limited number are given out for each area.  They did air lift some out of my county to Colorado last year.  There were apparently too many but not enough to give more tags.  I am sure there is some logic involved somewhere.

Logic? F&G? you jest Mitch

   How bout no COMMON SENSE.

Oh I gotta go postal, oh no thats the politically incorrect isn't it? Kind of a challenge to wonder what the world would be like with logical thinking leaders.

Thanks for sharing the pic's!   :thumbsup:

Awesome pictures!  I have to admit that a moose with a stickbow is one of my dream hunts, but the moose in the photos just wouldn't do.  Just like all of the deer that hang around my house, once they become "yard pets", they are safe from my arrows.  Dang...I hate when that happens  ;)  !

They are an awesome animal and big too! Hunting them is a wonderful experience. Good luck to all that get a chance.

Just spoke to my neighbor.  After they left my place they walked by his and he touched one as it walked by his small kitchen window.

Pincone,

Taking one of these moose just wouldn't seem right.


Hormoan,

Makes you wonder what's going on sometimes.

Your kidding right my wife and son each drew a bull archery only tag . Friday we will be putting up stands and scouting . Never get enough of them. If you have ever seen one standing a few feet from you you would feel the same.

As I sit re sharpening broadheads I can hear him walking outside and munching.  I had a real kind of cross between zen and primevil thing going with the sound of him and me sharpening till my wife eased up beside me and told me if I insisted on testing blades on body hair use my legs and stop making a patch work mess out of my arm hair.

Why don't you get a hot tub and turn the temp up and add a few carrots and such when he gets in?

I found the reason for no pictures.  The IT dept has banned photobucket so I can no longer relieve the daily work stress by touring through everyone's fine pictures during break time.  They have deemed the site as containing inappropriate information.

But.....

So far Webshots hasn't been canned.  I still have a small avenue for stress relief.  They may yet block this as well but they can't keep me from reading the stories and seeing it in my mind's eye.

My friend is back and I was going to get a pic of him but it is right a dusk here and I learned something........moose don't so much like the flash!

He's still out there, I can't see him but can hear him snorting.  I'm not going out there, for now he owns the yard.
Title: Re: Sick of Moose
Post by: MW on August 16, 2007, 11:05:00 PM
Well, it is my yard and he's not that big.  Got these with a spot light.
(http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w8/GMW2/Moosevisit4003.jpg)

Let him use/ have the yard when he looked up.

Mitch I have a elcheapo gamecam. I have sat and watched deer get flashed ( in a nice way )  :D  And was amazed they did not turn inside out when it went off. They just stand thier like a deer in the headlights  :jumper:  No flinch no nothing I was amazed. I would have thought they would have been in the next county!
So I only assume moose are more sensitive, or you smell really bad  :jumper:

Post by: MW on August 16, 2007, 11:14:00 PM
Could be the smell.........

The funny thing is I am washing and hanging out to dry some camo right now for this weekends deer hunt.  My wife keeps walking by as I am going in and out of the house with the moose feeding 30 yards away asking why it is I need the camo as he seems unaffected.

Post by: hormoan on August 16, 2007, 11:23:00 PM
Mitch I hope the deer don't notice all you have done either. Whats that smell?
