Seasons here!

[Hummer]

Short version of long story, On Thursday I drove the Coney Flats road in my Tundra (WHOA!), camped at the creek crossing and hunted up to Coney Lake. Heard a cow moose whine but a big bull emerged and came at me at 20 feet. I didn't want to take him there, too high, steep and deadfall, so I scrambled into some trees and readied the rifle in defense and shouted no, go away! He grunted and walked by. I continued up the trail 20 yards to find a cow and calf moose looking at me. So both cows and bulls give the whine calls. On Friday and Saturday I climbed up the mountain to call and lure him to a place where I could get him out with pack horses but didn't see him again. Did see a cow and calf and later a spike bull on Friday. Sleet, rain and snow. Got soaked a couple times and dried out.

This morning in the thick fog at first light I watched another cow and two calves with a spike bull near my camp. Watched them for 2 hours hoping a bigger bull would show. No big bull today but the scenery and moose watching was just magical. I saw 14 moose in three days in the most beautiful high Colorado country.

How close to the end of the season are you getting? Let us know if you get something down and need help. I may be able to peel away and help you.

Nice picture! Sucks he would have been so hard to get out... that is definitely a factor. HOWEVER you get a big bull down im sure you would have people willing to help right? I would volunteer but pulled my hamstring and my deer season has started! But surely some people would help! Either way love seeing the updates! Good luck

Bummer, should have took him and put a call out here for some pack out help. It's a mind fuck when you are by yourself. Well, he should still be in the area. Good luck! Next time take the shot and figure it out later.

Who is heading out this weekend? Headed out to Walden Friday morning. Daughter got a cow tag and she is primed and ready to hunt!!

[zimagold]

Headed out Thursday night or Friday morning to Kremmling. Quite eager as I put a lot more prep into this year.

Saw this bull a half mile in from the truck, then tracked him for hours all the way up on the Pawnee Pass trail.

Awesome! Great job! Now the hard work begins.

Did you get him in front of a bunch of hikers? Will we be reading about it in the Daily Camera tomorrow?
