We used chest waders w wading boots. The boots had to have a good rubber sole like hiking boots. What size are you? I have a great pair of Chotas I used on my first trip that were a tick to small. In pretty sure they are 10.5 or 11s

I chose to hunt a unit without the 50" minimum because of my inexperience in judging moose. I decided I wanted to be able to pull the trigger if it was a bull I'd be happy with, not try to count brow tines or judge spread. I may feel differently after getting a trip under my belt but I thought that was my best bet for a first trip. I can judge a whitetail gross score well under 10" most times, elk and muleys decent but not that close. Antelope pretty decent also. I've watched the videos and read the books but I don't have any field experience on moose so I'd rather get that before worrying about width.

I chose the same outfitter and unit as mcseal2 and wasn't dissapointed. Just because its a <50" unit doesn't mean the bulls are small.

That bowsite post is from KevinD on this forum. He has shared some of his gear info on here, but not a thread specific to the hunt.

I read the article and it was epic. Unfortunately I couldn't see pics. Any idea why? Do they remove them after a period of time.

All the pics are there right this minute. They are hosted on photobucket according to their link, so what ever system you are using may be blocking the link. Some businesses block all photo sharing sites with their router software.

First post guys, I've been a lurker for a while now.

This will be a special trip for my Father and I. I appreciate any help!

Robinhood21 - shoot me a pm. I am in Wichita and lived in AK from 2003--2007. I return annually to hunt and can help you.
