And I am FINALLY getting to go again after 3 years of no holidays at work.

Going to be hard to beat the moose my guys shot last year though, as it was supposed to be the new Ontario archery record. I guess you just have to have the "RIGHT" people on the scoring panel though, if you want the proper score recorded.t:

Anyway, I am SOOOOOO looking forward to it, it almost hurts.

3D-GURU...

I won't comment as to "Right" people scoring....but I will tell you I felt for those guys....missing it by 1/8". That's close enough for it to be questioned for sure.

I take nothing from F.Robinson........but that was a great rack. I missed it at B.Pro when they were scoring....would love to see that in person some day.

Good luck this year on the hunt.

Only reason id be looking forward to archery moose season is because deer is just around the corner  Moose is just 2 much work taking that beast out of the bush. Esp for the type of hunting i do.

## JDoupe (Dec 9, 2006)

Ah, man!

It's sometimes still way too hot here when it opens on the 15th....how is it out there on the 1st?

We don't start to see a lot of daytime movment until Late September / Early October....

Miss hunting moose. Just too depressing to get all geared up for the first day and get out before sunup and looking forward to driving in a couple of miles on my quad and getting setup just as legal time hits. All for not as I turn a corner on the bike and seeing a side by side driving down the trail with a spotlight scanning back and forth. Spotlighting is illegal in Saskatchewan, even for natives. Too much trouble for you and the wardens when the natives find out who turned them in, as told to me by a warden. They cause all kinds of trouble for a guy.

Just looked at a map of Northern Sask. and your right it is smaller than PEI. One trail, one swamp and only one moose.

In northern Ontario there are a lot of First Nation People. When I bow hunt they are allowed to bow or gun hunt during the bow only season. Matter of fact they took 2 moose (gun) just down the road from us (2K) and we filled our tag with no problems. 

All groups that hunt have pouchers, and all groups complain about the others.

Lets keep this post positive as the season is just around the corner or start a thread to bash the group of your choice.

I know, as a white guy I should have left this alone but that would be like not telling a warden that there is pouching going on in the place I love to hunt.

Who is the Warden that told you to stay quiet so he does not have to do his job? Why is he still a warden and what good is he to any of us?

Stay Positive

I just have to take some time and find a new spot. I was bitter last fall after about 3 days of spotlighting. I know that it's just a few guys doing this and not the whole. Not moose hunting this fall, decided to go for muleys this fall with an Uncle of mine. Just for a change of pace and have some fun with family. Hope everyone has a good moose hunt and tags out! Love archery moose and shouldn't let things get to me like they do. So again, good luck all!

Awesome post:darkbeer:

We all get frustrated at the issues we run up against, I have been there also. Pointing fingers and using a wide brush does no one any good, again a lesson I have learned.

I would say come to Ontario for a moose hunt with us but they have that resident rule and I do not have my outfitters licence................yet!

Good luck on the Mulie Hunt and enjoy the family.

It's frustrating at the time, but fades by the spring and I'm ready to go again. I like most of the natives that hunt the same spot I do as they used to be customers of my father-in-law.(retired butcher) They always tease me about how it used to be and how it is now, I'm bowhunting and they are out with rifles. They shake their heads and laugh about it being backwards. I like being out there and visiting with them and catching up with them as it'll have been a year since I have seen them. 
Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it alot. I'm really looking forward to the muley hunt. Hopefully alot of fun with pics and video. Love spot and stalk muley, haven't done it in about 5yrs. or more. I try and shoot 3D with my Uncle when I can and look forward to our first hunt together. My brother and brother-in-law may come out with us aswell. It'll be fun regardless of getting something or not.

I once asked a MNR office person doing stats that told me most archery moose are taken between the 22nd to the 29th of Sept. 

We have taken 4 archery bulls during this time frame. All on Cow calls.

Any one else find this to be true in northern Ontario?
