2012 Moose Hunt with Phil Shoemaker Opening

Due to some unexpected circumstances I have to give up my trip this year and Phil needs a replacement.
The reserved date is Sept 10-20.

Results from last fall

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

Phil, either you're so far behind that Moose you're in another ZIP code, or that's one BIG Moose!!! :-)

Gotta be photoshopped removing the wind and rain! Very nice bull. Over 62"?

29 January 2012, 08:38

Biebs

I think it was a 67 or 68, IIRC.

Phil is the one in the middle? With the 2 old goats flanking him.. Right?

Well, Phil cannot be too far behind the Moose, he is holding the horns with both hands...

Looks like a pretty good Bullwinkle to me...

Doug, surprised to see you on here. Was watching humming birds yesterday and thought of you. Hope your bookings are going well.

Doug, good to see you on AR. My dad and I enjoyed our lunch with you. I hope you have a great 2012 season.

We still have the opening if anyone is interested. We only take four hunters in two exclusive areas and with the season being extended thru rut this year it should be another successful season.

14 March 2012, 00:53

Nice moose Phil!
You still living year-around in the Alaskan "bush"?

TJ, I still spend the majority of every year at our homestead on the peninsula but still spend part of the winters at our cabin near Circle Hot Springs. it is not quite as remote as our peninsula homestead but is still a lot "bushier" than the Kenai.

Why do you ask?

How much and where

14 March 2012, 21:38

458Win

As Dwight originally posted, the dates are Sept 10-20 and he is hoping to find a hunter to take his slot. It would be best to contact him first.

Sep 10-20 is that the full season to hunt moose in Alaska.

15 March 2012, 09:04

458Win

Sept 10-20 is the full season on the peninsula - although F&G may be considering lengthening it a few day like they did last year.

Just had a second cancellation - which leaves us short of both time and hunters. E-mail if any of you are interested in a great deal on a trophy moose hunt.

sounds like a good deal. If I get skunked on the draws here in the western states I'll be sending you an email (if anything is still available at that point)

I'ld go but I got drawn for AZ elk.

Good Luck on your Elk hunt.

This hunt has been contracted. Thanks to all those who PM'd me details.
I look forward to seeing some pictures in late September.

How did your bear hunt go this spring

It was the coldest and snowiest spring on record but eventually everyone went home with good big boars. But we had to work for them. This one was wounded and it took three days of tracking to finally catch up with him in this pass where the drifts were still 30 feet deep.

That looks like a bit of snow. Sounds like you had a successful season.

Phil, who is that down there with the bear?

That is me. It is the same pass where you and Dan were looking for the bears to come over.

That was a hump, hope you had a packer to help.

Besides the bear, that is one beautiful looking rifle...

Phil, is the rifle in the the picture that beautiful 30-06 you had built a few years back?

Dirk, No, that rifle is a CZ in 370 Sako ( aka 9.3x66 ) that Lon Paul recently built and brought up on the hunt.

Even more beautiful close up!
