Default wmu 308

With this season over for me I've started thinking about next years plans. I have high priority for moose. I saw a thread on here about moose in 308 being lower numbers than in the past? I can't seem to find the thread. I want to start researching areas and scouting soon. I'm looking for some recommendations' and thoughts on wmu's to start the search for moose. I'm a meat hunter so trophy quality is not an issue.
thanks in advance for your thoughts and insight.

I enjoyed my 308 hunt, I saw 3 bulls in 3 days of hunting. If size is not a concern to you, 304 has more moose in my limited experience. I drew 308 because I figured I had a better chance at a bug bull there. 300 has lots of moose, but access can be a pain there. Same goes for 310. Some of the biggest bulls I have seen have been in 310, but I just want to hunt, not run around booking days for a November hunt in August…
Early December is a great time to drive around and do moose inventory in the zones your interested in.

What J.B said is pretty bang on in my experience with the aforementioned areas.

Thanks for the reply's. I just read you hunt report. Great story! Just out for a small bull so I think 308 will be the target! Thanks again.
