This bull and this story was a huge inspiration for me.  I met Lance and his bull the next year while he was measuring a set of my antlers for me.  Its even bigger in person.  When I drew my tag, I knew I wanted to try to get it with my bow.  Not very many folks were doing it at this time.  Most opted for a rifle for their OIL hunts.  Lance won the Glenn St Charles award with his moose as well.  Awesome hunt.  Lance was also insprational for me to go after my Idaho bull.  Thanks for getting the story and the pics on here.  I hope to see you Saturday if you are going.

That's a great story.  That bull looks damn big... I woulda guessed bigger than 146".

Thats why I get a kick out of folks tossing 160, 180 and even the fellow on here 200 in regards to score.  A 140+ shiras is a nice bull.

yea like saying I saw 3 180+ bucks during the late hunt. Damn things must have shrank when they hit the ground and ended up being 150.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I've come to understand that 10" on a moose is a pretty big jump.  Most of the bulls I'v seen shot around WA/N. Id are in the 120s and 130s.  The difference between a 130 and 140 is a lot more than it sounds like.
