East canyon moose

t_boneking · May 12, 2018

Well, luck finally smiled on me and I drew an East Canyon moose tag. I am really excited. I figured even with 18 points I would be years away from drawing any moose tag. I have been on the unit a few times and have seen some good bulls. I am looking forward to spending many days scounting and getting to know the unit. Any help, insights or advice from those that are more familiar with the unit would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for any help and good luck this season!

Well I've been having a blast and I've been seeing some good moose but I'm yet but to pull the trigger. I'm still hoping to find a giant! I've got the rest of the week off to hunt and I am confident it will come together soon. I forgot any of you muzzleloader hunters or extender archery hunters see a good moose let me know. I'll gladly share with you what I am seeing. Here are a few of the bulls I've passed.

Well I was able to get it done yesterday on my Utah moose hunt! I had a ton of fun, saw lots of moose, saw some beautiful country and in the end I was able to get a great bull. I appreciate all of the help that was given to me from people on this site.
Here is a quick recap of how it happened yesterday. Yesterday morning my uncle and I hiked to a good glassing point where I knew we'd would see some moose. Right off the bat I saw a cow and two smaller bulls. We glassed that canyon for a bit longer without see anything. After a little while I decided to go glass the canyon back behind us. It didn't take long for me to see the bull I ended up shooting rutting a cow on the far hillside. A plan was made and the stalk was on. My uncle stayed where he could see the bull and he directed me in. I was able to get within 300 yards and then I set up for the shot. I was able to make one good shot, he fell in his tracks and it was over quickly. I was able to call some friends and my dad to come and help with the pack out. What made things nice was a helpful Salt Lake City watershed employee that opened a gate for us and let us load the moose into his truck. We only had a 300 yard pack to the truck. It was a great experience that I feel very fortunate to have had!

Congrats Buddy.
Just thought I would ask if you did see any cow moose in that area?
My wife has a tag and we are going to go over that way on the 11th to see if we can find one. She has the East Canyon, Morgan Summit unit.(it looks like you were just above the lake?)
Any info would be appreciated. thanks and good job on the BULL.
