After some thought, maybe I was. I did not offer anything constructive to further the discussion and should have just moved on with my life. For that, I apologize plough.
I admit sometimes I struggle with reading posts from guys seeking information and how they go about it. They will post things like which gun for a mule deer hunt while having dead mule deer in their avatar. They will talk about barrel twists and the COAL, but act like they don't know which gun to use. Then they will sneak in which unit they drew in hopes people pm them about the unit. Or in this case, they quote a 16-month-old post from a dead thread, bringing it back to life, in hopes someone will pm them about a cow moose tag they don't even have.
With that said, I will offer some constructive thoughts for plough. First, if you have anxiety about moose hunting, scout the area a year prior during the hunting season. I would suggest sometime during the first two weeks of October. The rut will be in full swing. It will help with area familiarization, and in making a decision before you burn 21 points on a cow moose. In this scenario, it appears you will be too late to do this. Second, wait until you actually draw the tag before you seek information on a unit. Then use the search function and search 38 in the Wyoming forum. Seek out people who have offered information in the past and send them a private message (PM). Simply tell them you have a cow moose tag and politely ask them for any information they are willing to provide. Next, if you are worried about the size of the animal and getting it out, rent a horse. There are places in Wyoming that rent horses, panniers, and horse trailers. If that sounds too much at least bring a four-wheeler. You are allowed 300 feet off the road for retrieval last time I checked. Sometimes the people you PM will actually offer help including getting the moose out. Finally, after the hunt reach back out to the person, tell them you were successful or not, send them a pic, and thank them. Hope that helps and good luck.
