    Those things look HUGE! I can't imagine how much bigger they look in person. Maybe i will be able to afford a Moose hunt one day. I wish i could live in Alaska for a couple years just to experiance it.

    I just spent 10 days in Alaska back in July. Was definitely the best trip of my life. The first night we were there we had a brown bear walk through our parking lot of our motel in Coopers Landing. I don't know if it was a big for a brown bear but it was enormous. Went fishing in seward for halibut where we saw mountain goats on the bluffs marveling at just how they got where they were. We also saw moose on the side of the road like we see deer here in Va. Great experience wish I could of been there to hunt.

    Let us all come together and go to alaska together. It is way more affordable with more people cause we can drive and split gas and take turn driving and split hotel costs. And lets say we are 4 people we split the tags for 2 bears and 2 moose and whoever gets moose first gets to use the tag. We are in Ohio and it costs us about only 900 each to go to colorado every year elkhunting. We buy a muledeer tag and a elktag and take turns hunting either game

    Uhhh... let's not. The tag is yours, not your buddy's, to fill. Laws are strictly investigated and enforced up here and it's not worth losing your hunting priveledges in 30+ states to mess around with them. It's a big, remote state but you'll get checked and investigated up here more than anyplace you've ever been.

    After seeing the damage he did to the neighborhood trees my girlfriend was worried about hers all day. Imagine what a moose can do to an ornamental tree compared to what a deer does...

    VA,
    Aim about 3" higher (the top of your red ring). You're shooting for the bottom of the heart there.

    Awesome, Rob.

    I had to fill out a survey last night to enter some sort of sweepstakes and was asked the question "What's your #1 dream hunt?"

    I answered "moose".

    I'll fix you up when you're ready. It can be had for less than you might think.
