Out west as in out west Canada? Anything in the states will take many years. I'm on 25 here in WA.

25 years really!! i have been applying in new brunswick canada for on and off 10 years there's no point system. Just applying in hopes of getting a tag before my scheduled outfitter tag hunt. Have you applied anywhere else ?

 

[NRA4LIFE]

Yep, really. Getting too old for other places now. Probably die before I draw one here. Too pricey for my likes in Canada or Alaska. I'll just pay to shoot a buffalo or buy a steer.

My name will be in the hat for a Wyoming moose, maybe just a cow.
Hoping for my 3 rd Shiras in Wyoming.

Im debating hard on rather to drop my co pp on a cow or stay in the game. im 55 an honestly tired of the cost of putting in every year and watching tag prices go up. im leaning towards shooting a cow an calling it good. but as soon as i get myself there i go back to yea but this might be the year lol

sounds like out west is harder then it is to draw one in New brunswick or maine. Do any of you apply in New Brunswick ? i know maine pretty good i bear hunter there and applied forever but i've turned my focus to New Brunswick now it's quite the place. i've seen a ton of moose on every bear hunt it's insane

I have yet to draw a moose tag & I'm getting quite a few points in some states. I end up helping on other's moose hunts often. I apply for moose in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado & Maine. Most years I'm tempted to apply for moose in Idaho, but I always end up doing deer, elk & 'lope instead.

I'm 26, started applying last year as a resident in MT. Hope to draw one before I die. I know guys that have been applying for ~30 years and still haven't. I also know someone who drew on their first year.

Maine resident so I apply there every year. For non residents they alot 10 percent of the tags, unlimited spots, so basically whoever buys the most has the highest chance. Residents have a bonus system but it can still be really tough

Big difference, hunting moose out west or in the northeast.
(I went to BC on a cheap meat/small bull hunt, then did a low price self-guided drop hunt trip in Alaska years ago)
I drew a late season Montana Shiras tag years ago before the point system.
Next I drew an Idaho Shiras tag on my first try. No point system in Idaho so everyone gets one shot in the draw.
Lastly I went on a hunt last September on the outfitter draw tag in New Brunswick. Outfitters get a tag every year, then they sell the hunt with guaranteed tag.
