When Joe
Hill of Brandon, Mississippi
called in August to tell us that he was bidding on the first New
Hampshire Moose Auction we were quite surprised. "New Hampshire
is going to have a moose auction?" Joe was adamant that he was
going to make a healthy bid on one of the five permits up for
bid.
In the weeks following Joe was very
excited to learn that his bid was good enough to earn him one of the
five coveted permits. He was very anxious about his New Hampshire
hunt. He left for the mid-west in September to take a Shiras moose,
then he was going to drive to northern Maine to fill a moose tag, and
after that finally drive to hunt with us in Northern New Hampshire.
Whew! That's a lot of moose hunting.
Joe was successful in in filling all
his tags and managed to save the best for last. Joe made it clear that
the moose that he wanted was to be a quality moose.
Dave had just the moose for Joe. Two
weeks and the day before the season "Joe's Moose" was
scouted in a remote area of WMU C1. "It was apparent that this
was the quality of moose that Joe wanted." Dave said.
Dave filmed this bull the day before
the opening day and Keith had this bull nearly step on him earlier in
the season. (See the 2009 Pre-Season Video for this.)
In the first few days of the hunt Guide
Dave Noyes managed to get them in front of plenty of moose but,
"Joe's Moose" managed to slip by them. They held off until
the morning of the fifth day when Guide Keith Roberge spotted him in a
clear-cut, not far from where Dave had filmed him days earlier.
"We managed to point Joe in the
right direction and the monster bull moose stood there until it was
time for Joe to pull the trigger." According to Dave. Joe made
one well placed shot and dropped him the bull where he stood.
It wasn't until walking up to the bull that we
realized that this bull was something special. His
rack measured 57-inches at the widest point. We were all surprised to
realize that he was the largest moose shot in the state. "We knew
he was big but, we didn't know he was that big!" Dave said.
Joe's moose weighed 940-pounds dressed and is the largest Canadian
Moose he had ever taken and stands as the 2009 State Record for the
largest bull in the New Hampshire Moose hunt.
Joe is planning to bid again in next
years hunt. Good luck Joe!

With twelve moose permits to fill,
Northern New Hampshire Guide Services had their work cut-out for them.
By the morning of the fifth day all tags had been filled and some
great moose had been taken.
Gerry and Roger made the trip to
northern New Hampshire to fell this great 51" bull in Zone A2.
Dropping this guy at the top of a cutting made it a bit easier for
Chief guide, Keith Roberge and Guide Chris Norton to drag him out by
hand! What a feat for both these hunters! 
The hunters experience a slow start to
the season
with only 3 hunters taking moose on opening day. NNHGS managed to stay
consistent each day thereafter until all tags had been filled.
According to NH Fish & Game, just
over 51% of moose hunters had been successful at the mid-way point of
the season. A number consistent with last year.
Check
us out for the latest pictures and video as it comes in.
To all our clients, a big THANK YOU! for
hunting with us in 2009. Nice job by everyone!
