Spouse burned his 17 moose PP for a likely last moose hunt. The area is not known for trophy bulls se we had low expectations. He ended up with a young bull as the rut was not on yet. Bigger, mature bulls were still in the dark timber and not hanging with cows . He took the bull the last morning we had to hunt before a big storm rolled in, 3 1/2 years we believe. All worked out great and it will taste awesome.

Had we been able to hunt later in Oct no doubt we could have turned up a bigger bull. During the rut they are pretty much everywhere. Over 4 days we saw about 7 bulls and 7 cows and calves, give or take. I know of a 44 inch bull taken earlier in late Sept.

Good for him getting another bull. I bet the meat will be better since he wasn't in rut. Enjoy your bounty.

Awesome animal regardless of antler size. Moose is definitely a bucket list hunt for me.
