Funny how that goes! I focussed primarily on Bush. In hindsight maybe should have done more farm land hunting

You’ll find a lot more moose in the willow choked holes than farmland IMO.

when you think you are walking slow enough to hunt moose, slow down even more. They will give you that shot opportunity if you aren't blowing them out of bed.

95% of moose ive seen in 242 are in the centerbushes of farmland..... the rest r out feeding wide open during before and shortly after legal light.. then walk on to the bush again.
