Default 312 moose, where'd they go?

Been out multiple days where I should see 5-15 a day and not one sighting. No wolf tracks either. Stumped.

Any other 312 reports? Down by Eden Valley and no it's not them.

Thanks.

With all the grizzlies in the area now the moose calf population is way down.

Usually a bunch in the OH. Try Nelson's? Saw one yesterday hunting the NCC, Turner Valley, property.

Last year I saw tons of moose this year haven't seen one. I did notice last year while I saw mostly cows, none had calves. I never saw a calf. Likely combination of bears and wolves cleaning up the calves, will have few moose in near future...

Hey Marlin, mind if I ask what priority you put in with for your Cow Moose tag?

My buddy got a cow in 312 on the weekend. We saw tons of sign for the 2 weekends we were hunting, but only saw them out in the open on the really cold days. Otherwise had to go into the bush to find them. I did a heck of a lot of bush pushing. He got it in mixed woods at about 25 yards, the trees weren't very thick though.
