[bryasch]

[huntfishtrap]

I haven`t found any yet, but this is the time of year to start looking, especially around willow patches that you know like to hang around.

Had two bulls in the backyard the other day. One bull only had one antler left and the other bull was rubbing a birch pretty hard. I'm assuming he was trying to get rid of them.

Lots of info posted in the archives. Do a search. With all the snow that has melted, sheds are easy to find right now. Look on the flats between Anch and Wasilla, in the swamp about a mile north of Houston to the west, powerline pass on the Anch hillside, up Eagle River Valley along the powerlines and any river bottoms or glacial morianes that might be near your location.

Too late, they've all been picked. They all get picked up Jan 1 through Jan 10. God luck next year.

Assuming you found some?

I was going to go out hare hunting today, but it's spitting rain and the snow is crunchy where I was going to go. Maybe I'll go shed hunting instead.

The little shed was found on the trail. I strapped it to the sled and then found a matching set not 200 ft farther down the trail - side by side! Sometimes ya just gets lucky!
The matching set was right close to a 50" bull.

On a side note, we found 4 wolf (moose) kills from this winter in a 10 mile stretch. I think there was at least one more but we couldn't find the kill site. A cow/calf pair were only days old. We had a light snow overnight which revealed a single wolf coming back to the cow/calf kill. I never saw the wolf but the .204 ruger was sure ready to play.

I cut the tracks of the same pack in that fresh snow but lost them after a 15 mile pursuit. We had a great weekend and I got the antler bug again!

This all took place on Moose kill MT near Antler Creek just south of wolf pack run

Great find, does your lab ride in the trailer some been thinking of taking the lab with me on a trip on the sled but he can not run forever.

Thanks

I have flown over the glacier the past few years I have spotted a place where it seems as if the bulls have droped forever as i have seen piles of hornsin a small plot of ground

AKFISHON - My lab actually sits her butt between my legs on puts her feet on the gas tank. We rode in 30 miles like that. A little challenging at times but she goes where dad goes! Of course she gets her share of running as well.

I saw 2 bulls, one shed out, one still packin, on Decmeber 26th and finally made it back to the willow patch for a look see. Low and behold I found one side of the shed out bull. I scoured the area pretty hard but didn't find the other side - I think it's there.....

Flew several hours in the Talkeetna's yesterday and saw no less than six Bulls with racks. Only one had a single horn. There's a lot of Moose in the mountains, we spotted over 80-100 animals in a two hour flight.

I would not say that is a "lot". It was not that long ago, when you could see that many on the Palmer Flats, from an auto in a ten minute drive. From the air it was not uncommon to see way more than that in a two hour flight, in winter. But it is good there is currently enough to provide for seed.

I remember when I was a kid, cruising past the hay flats, and counting in upwards of 80 moose. Granted, I am sure we were going 60 mph, but I digress, there used to be a lot of moose in these parts...J

The moose in unit 14a/b seem to be rebounding, as I've been seeing a lot moose. Lots of bulls too. Saw a lot up in the mountains as well. One particular beast that had 5 brows on each side and was 60-65" in velvet....

[B-radford]

My pops said that he saw one in new velvet by our cabin 2 weeks ago, and another small bull with one shed. I found a pretty nice 2 brow tine shed last year in the same area that i carry with me for calling moose.
