Spot Light,
I suspect bears may be contributing to the recent decline in calves in our area. Last year was the first year I have noticed that so many cows were by themselves and very aggresive. This year looks to be the same. After walking many slashes I can report I found only two spots where two calves are alive. I sure hope someone realizes something is up and takes action.
I like to be hunting anywhere around the 21st of Sept. We have shot 80% of our large bulls on this day. Its like magic for me. Although smaller bulls will reliably come anytime during the archery season for us. Giant bulls that live a nocturnal existance are easiest before the actually few days of the rut. I have called in a couple of bulls in December during the fourth rut before. Opening day leading to the 23rd I will not miss for anything.

Yeah mooseman something has to be done about the bears. I pick up a licence and our group shoots all the bears we come across in deer and moose season. I also agree that the 20th of Sept is the best week for moose and I too hace had the ocasional Post-Rut suscess whith bulls. I think they are like the whitetails, when the cows arn't bred they come back into heat in Nov and Dec. Oh and great pic. U up in the area of Dryden where that big deer was poached last year?
