340 moose
Just got back from week in 340 east of Robb. Logging, rig moves, semis everywhere. 2' + snow in bush, 8" + on roads, not yet frozen under snow so lots of slippery hills. Moose: one whole bull at 400 metres, he didn't like me scoping him, gone in flash. Wolves and wolf tracks everywhere. One big black bugger didn't Wait for us to smoke him, gone before truck stopped. He looked 8'+ tip to tip.
Wasted buying tag for that zone. Wolves won. Again.

I spent all day in 340 yesterday looking to fill my moose draw... a lot of walking & a little driving. Saw a ton of deer tracks in the fresh snow, but did not see a single deer all day until last light when I managed to find and connect on real nice 150" whitetail. Overall the movement during the day is slow out that way yet, but judging by the tracks I saw there is a lot of deer and once they start rutting a guy might be able to catch them moving more during the day.

A fair number of whitetails, 2 large bucks. One was breeding doe, didn't stop for us. He collapsed on his face as does departed. We came back 90 minutes later, he stood up and slinked off into bush. Saw even bigger one side of road before legal light so couldn't. Shoot. Big wide rack.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but:
You saw a buck and doe "in action". Doe takes off, buck does a face plant?? 90 minutes later he finally gets up and saunters off?
That's awesome, you don't see that every day! Very cool.

yep, watched the action, didn't seem right to take photo. If they collapse like that, no wonder elk and bucks don't make the winter.

When your right, you're right.
Got my little frying pan moose bull near tracks Thursday morning in 340. about 250 lbs. deboned. 500 yard shots, first 2 missed. Don't normally shoot that far. Ruger 7mm rem mag 160 grn. Burned a lot of fuel to find that boy. Glad I didn't shoot his dad, way to big/heavy to carry/drag that far in 2 feet snow for a couple of old farts. forgot plastic sled at home.
