Not sure if this is allowed, but if anyone drew a moose tag in North Park units, I can share intel I’ve gained - I’ve taken 2 moose from there.

PM only.

That’s generous of you Brad

Add me to the list of available help. I took a moose two years ago. Cnelk gave me some pointers and I learned some areas. I also met a guy scouting for deer who relayed intel all summer.

Wow, not many people start a thread to give that specific of information. Kudos to you guys for being willing to help! My sister drew a tag, I’ll send a PM

 

[Elkfever]

PM sent.

How many points did it take you? I’m very familiar with the area, hoping to snag a tag in the next few years

Have yet to draw my bull from that unit.. one day...

See more moose than elk hunting up there. Almost road killed a cow moose 2 years ago on my way there!

I drew a Bull Moose tag for Unit 28 in Colorado. I'm just starting to scout.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go?

Use the Colorado Hunting Atlas- filter for moose concentration areas. Use this as your starting place for e-scouting. Get boots on the ground in those areas

Dad and I leave tomorrow to get a couple scout days in before his north park cow moose tag starts. Haven’t been in that country since 2020 and looking forward to being there again.

Any stories, pics from this fall to share of your time in the north park units-161, 171, 6, 16, 17?

Harvested this cow moose on opening day in North Park a month ago. Prior to this hunt I have seen cow moose up high in thick timber on north face slopes. Try to find fresh tracks and follow them. They typically don’t bolt when you get close like elk or deer.

 

[Elkfever]

Awesome, congrats! How was the pack out?

 

[cnelk]

I helped my buddy get his archery cow moose in Sept in North Park

 

[MountainMan83]

Pack out is easy when you have good friends/family and llamas

We had an amazing trip, our second hunt in North Park…learned a lot of new country as dads tag was valid for several of those units. It was time well spent and I am so proud of the effort dad and our group put in scouting before the season and during the hunt but leaving CO, his cow tag was still unfilled.

We saw almost as many bulls as we did cows. Saw a couple lone cows on private and Dad passed on a couple cows with young calves and the one opportunity during the season on a calf less cow, he wasn’t satisfied with his rest and when making a move to get a more solid position, the cow took off. We scouted 3 days prior to 3rd season and hunted HARD for the first five days before family obligations 17 hours away necessated us getting home. No regrets but it was much more difficult than we had anticipated for a cow. Had we been able too make it out for 1st or 2nd season, I wonder if it would have been different.
