moose tag holders........
<< < (3/9) > >>
Ridgerunner:
Tough choice, especially early on, he's got the forked brows, the knubs on top, from teh angle its hard to tell teh length of the paddle and the width with his ears up, but he's got a great cape and I love the big brows on the front end, my tag is filled.   :)

I'll be curious to find out a little more about this bull, but he just became my desktop.  
KillBilly:
Hell, outside of the ears and nose, that moose looks very edible to me. I have never been able to eat any kind of horn or antler. He's dead in my sights if I had a tag.

That's a really close call.  His paddle length isn't that long and that's his deficiency as well a spread.  His palm brows are very nice.  The rack overall looks small.  I would guess his spread at 38-40". 

Here's my conservative score:

palm length L   18
palm length R   18
Palm width L     8
Palm width R     8
points L:          7
points R           7
spread            38
base L:            7
base R:             7
Total Score:    118"

So if my conservative score is 120 then my "reaching" score would be about 130".  He isn't B&C but a good respectable bull.  I would pass.

Well first of all, I need to smack Rob in the back of the head.  If you have this guy in bow range take him.  This angle does wonders to fool you with overall paddle length.  First lesson, this is a veiw often presented with.  Try to resist popping him in the nose.  He's a bit bigger than Popes guestimate.  His brows are long out fornt and that really adds to the score.  In fact, his brows add about 12 inches to that overall length score on  both sides then quite a bit more than the 18 on the main paddle.  This is a good 140 bull and a definite trophy for an archer, and even a rifle guy should be happy with this guy.  The reason I posted this bull is this is the kind that is going to haunt you. Yep, there will be bigger, but there will be much smaller ones too.  Regular tag, I'd have dumped him for sure archery equipment.  Rifle most likely. Raffle tag, I'd still be hunting.

Id like to see a side profile of his antlers. I like the looks of his big brows! Did you take that picture Bone?
