October Moose Hunt 2022

I finally had the privilege of hunting a Maine moose, and not guiding a moose hunt. The results were FAST and CLOSE!

I am going to handgun hunt one. I will use 44 magnum hot load on a moose. The 44 magnum is a beast caliber.

Moosehead region in Maine

Congratulations on the Moose. I know Zone 14 well. It may not have the number of Moose like other zones but it definitely has some smashers. You just got to know where to look and get off the roads like you did.

[@moyesoutdoors6007]

Hoping to do it again in 14 soon!

@@moyesoutdoors6007 I'd love to get drawn for a Moose permit in this state. It gets frustrating year after year of not getting drawn. 14 is my stomping grounds.

I finally got an October bull tag this year, it took 22 years of applying. Meanwhile I know several people who seem to get drawn every time they’re eligible to apply. I think our lottery system is outdated and needs to be revised. It shouldn’t take 20, 30, or even 40+ years to get drawn for a moose tag in your own damn state.

@shanelizotte6318 I think there should be a lot of changes to Moose Hunting in Maine. First off, I think it should be Residents only. We could even have a quota style hunt. They allow so much for harvest numbers and once the number is reached, hunts over. I think lodge permits should not be a thing. The guides win again while the average sportsmen takes it up the poop shoot with no lube. I've seen lodge permits being auctioned off for 20K plus already this year. As for the lottery, I heard of a Maine resident this year who has 6 Moose permits in their family and they can choose to defer permits for following years if they choose. I saw a post last year, a guy was bragging him and both his kids in the same house got drawn for Moose permits. I think it should be limited to one permit per household if they're going to continue the lottery. Every year I see things that make me question the lottery and rather or not it is rigged.

Excellent job! My guess is that was an older bull? When the antlers droop like that it's a sign of an old animal or so they say and i tend to agree with it. Great job again gentleman! Cheers from Northern Alberta

The state of Maine aged the bull at 8 1/2 years old. Thanks for watchin the video!
