Default Anyone having luck in 504?

Have put in 12 days now with the bow looking for a bull moose. Have only seen one, wasn’t able to get on him and then he was gone. Been calling, been still hunting, very careful with the wind... nothing. Not one answer on a call yet? Anyone having better luck?

Just gonna throw this out there, you know who lives there right? And what "they" think of game laws. I'm impressed you saw one. Sorry man but if you drew that tag without having a bull scouted on private land, there's a good chance you're gonna eat it. I'd be spending my time on the south west edge along the river. Best of luck.

Nope. Ill suggest that the WMU map that comes with the hunting regs often provides some valuable information.

That’s great. Glad some folks are having success. Do you know if they called them in or stumbled on them? Thanks.

Thanks for the luck. Yea the river is a decent idea. At least a nice walk to change scenery. I’ve mainly been working pipelines and swamp land.
