In both zones, if I decided to bother drawing a tag there I would wait until I have some good tracking snow, then cover lots of ground looking for tracks. You will generally end up extremely depressed about how far you need to go just to find a set of moose tracks. If you find some tracks follow them quickly, chances are they will be cow tracks (find where the animal took a whizz), if you find a bull track slow down and follow them carefully. It will likely be the only chance you get.

This method has worked better for me when hunting zones with poor populations than anything else.
Thanks for the info.. these are undersubscribed tags we picked up, mine in 542 and my sons in 541. If nothing else we will go spend a week up there and learn some new country.

Jim..
