This weekend turned out pretty well. We got two cows. If you wonder, our moose population has to be reduced, hence shooting some cows as well. We try to take younger animals, and keep productive larger cows since it's only us that comes to hunt this area next year... In the first drive a huge cow + a smaller one came out, and my buddy chose the small one. Except it wasn't very small, so the larger one had to have been huge! This was friday, and I didn't see any animals myself.
On saturday I had two young animals passing my post, but I couldn't get a clean shot. The first one stopped at some 250 yards, and I had to use a few seconds to determin her age. When I found her available (1 1/2 year old) I put my sights on her and started to pull the trigger, but then she moved of course... And she didn't show herself enough for me to get a clean shot again. She passed just beneath my hunting tower in the brush, some 30 yards away! This was at the same time we had another animal standing for our barking dog. My buddy spent the better part of an hour sneaking up on her against the wind, even crawling on his stomach. At some 40 yards she got his wind in a backdraft, and looked straight at him, and he got away a good shot. It was a 2 1/2 year old. It isn't always easy to determin age on ladies, and this one had a very short head and lots of fur. But she weighed much more than a 1 1/2 year old would, so we are up for a rather large "fine" for shooting wrong animal... 
Oh well. It was the most experienced moose hunter on the team who shot her, so it can happen to anybody. I think he has put down some 50-60 moose, and he's just turned 30 years old!
I had another young moose passing my post later that day, but she had got wind of my neighboring post and was in a hurry. I yelled at her, but she didn't even stop to look for me. Crap...
We still have a huge moose fooling around with us in the terrain! We've gotten a short look at him, and he's huge! Almost black color... We se his footprints all over and there's a picture of that down here with a rather large knife lying in it...
Here are some more pictures!

its Bulls only where we hunt. there are plenty of animals, you just have to put in the footwork uphill to get to them. moose steak at my house tonight. backstrap!
we processed till 2 am but it was well worth it. i had the pressure cooker going, while i was grinding burger, and my buddy was wrapping ribs, roasts and steaks for the freezer. there are 2 full totes left after the plywood batch. Freezers are stuffed and jars everywhere. its delicious.

We hunt in an area reserved for just us (6 hunters). We use a dog, either leached or free running, to sniff them out and we make up a post line with 5 shooters most of the time. The area is carefully studied, so we sort of(!) know where the moose will come out. Some times they turn on the dog, and some times they run straight out of our terrain and gets shot by our neighbouring terrain's hunters. Crap... But it's efficient, and the only way to get all 7 moose in a hopefully not to long time.
We usually tender the venison in one piece before we cut it down. Since we have two professional butchers with us I let them do it for me!

I hope to get Maine tags someday and bag me one of these things. I wouldn't have to deer hunt the rest of the next year. I envy both you guys.

I shot this Cow at the beginning of last week in Vermont. It dressed at 554 pounds. It is my third moose as I've taken bulls in Vermont and New Hampshire before.

Your moose is bigger than ours, indeed. But I think the heaviest bull around here in the near past was some 950 lbs, that's without guts and skin of course. But these are rare! Anything above 750 lbs would get us in the papers these days...

Love the pics. good work boys!
Our moose don't get quite as big as the
Alaska and Yukon brutes. A 50+ moose here
goes about 1100-1300 lbs, still a very big
animal to pack out. Shooting them is the ez part.
