Drew a Colorado Moose Tag!
Moose
I can't believe it I drew a Colorado Unit 6 moose tag! I drew an Idaho tag last year and now Colorado this year. I am going to very busy, I have a Musk Ox hunt in August and a Roosevelt Elk hunt in Early September, now I have a moose tag, its going to be a rough fall hunting season :)
John
Just slightly envious of the situation you've put yourself in for this fall!
Enjoy all of those hunts!
Enjoy and post pics.. Most of us hate u..
When I told one of my friends he said and I quote.
"I am starting to hate you"
John
Congrats on your tag!
GMU 6 isnt a slam dunk hunt. Lots of terrain variations and private and public.
I know where I would moose hunt in that unit, but it would be a very tough hunt
Wish I could dump my bucket of points over your head!
Good luck and have a great time! Some bulls a LOT bigger than that little ID feller in Unit 6.
Yeah I am sure it won't be a slam dunk. A lot of people think moose are easy to kill but that has not been my experience.
I am definitely hoping for a bigger bull, I killed him on the last day of a ten day hunt.
I have a bucket full of points too but it is a little lighter now :) I think I had 13 weighted points.
John
Congrats, John! I'm happy for you buddy.

Here is a good representation of a North Park bull I shot not far from GMU 6.
Cnelk,
Awesome bull that is definitely what I am looking for, about what date did you kill him? I have the archery season which goes from the 12th to the 27th.
Lenny, Thanks!! it should be fun.
John
Archery season in that unit is an easier hunt than when cnelk killed his later. You can find your bulls and keep tabs on them. They'll still hang around the same area by the time you start your hunt.
PM me with your email addy and I'll give you some ideas.
Congrats JM...wishing you Great success..!!!
Congrats on the tag and good luck!
Congratulations on the great tag John....that should be a fantastic hunt.
JM: If you weren't such a great guy we could be envious:) Good for you! C
Thanks everyone! nothing like September in Colorado, its got my blood boiling just thinking about it.
Charlie hopefully we can get together in Kansas again this fall.
John
Congrats on the tag,
Man, moose meat two years in a row!
Now that's something to be envious about!
We've got a lot of great stuff to hunt in Kansas, by no moose. :-(
I think I am going to grill some moose tomorrow, it is hard to beat.
John
Moose is above elk, as elk is above venison, to us...and we really like venison.
Good luck. Here are a couple of Colorado moose I took a few years ago. Colorado is about the best state for nice bull in the lower 48.
Have a great bow hunt. BB

Good Lord, Bill, that's a stud!
Congrats on the tag, JM.
Bill, Awesome pictures and one heck of a bull! I like that shot angle especially if he was looking straight ahead.
Tom, thanks and Congrats on your griz!
John
JM here's one that's looking straight ahead. It's hard to tell from this photo, but this bull is a stud too. He's a Utah bull who came in for a drink one evening while I was hunting deer. I shot a buck that evening while he would not let the buck water. When I hiked up out of the canyon to get cell service, I ran back into him and took that photo. In the next post I will show you what he looked like at the waterhole.
He was one heck of a shiras moose.
And here's a good shot on that second bull I posted. I took this the evening before I took the other one. He's a dandy bull too. I hope you can get one like these and you will have done very well in my opinion.
Have a great bow hunt. BB
And here's one final photo of the bull you said would be a good shot if was looking straight ahead. I took this that same morning in the same area as I did the other one.
Have a great bow hunt. BB
Bill,
Thanks!!! those are great pictures. If I get one that big I will be doing very well indeed.
John
A couple of years ago I called these moose out of the timber not far from GMU 6.
You gonna have a good hunt
Here are the bulls
I hope they call that well during hunting season : )
John
Congratulations! Awesome! Hope you kill a toad!
You lucky dog! Congrats, good luck on your hunt, but you seem to have that area covered.
Congrats John! Good luck this year!
Congrats on drawing your tag. I drew unit 6 in 2012 with a muzzleloader bull tag. He wasn't the biggest bull in the woods, but I had a great time and was happy with the outcome. Best of luck on your hunt!
Orion,
Nice bull! being in the woods and having a good time is what it is all about.
