Ok, the work is done and I'm showered but I don't have any pics to post as I am still in Spokane and now home yet.  I will give a few more details on the bull though.  He is right at 40.5" wide so he's not quite as big as the some of the bulls out there, he's an 8x9, has really nice wide palms, split brows and good palm length.  When I found out I drew the tag I looked at every picture of moose I could find and the way this bull lays out is EXACTLY how I wanted my bull to look.  I had set a goal of a 40" bull, 7 or 8 points a side with good tine length and this bull has all of the above.  Someone was pretty close to when the bull hit the ground, it was around 8:10 if I remember right.  Saw 3 bulls this morning and 11 cows, the action was fast and furious, pics forthcoming tomorrow but they will be worth the wait.

Well I got a cell phone pic tonight, privilege of being another moose hunter during the same season. ;) I can tell you Brian did good and tagged a hawg!!! The pics will be worth the wait I guarantee it. Way to go Brian, way to hold out and get the bull you were looking for, you stuck with your goal and got the bull you were looking for. Congrats brother, you are among the very few that have notched that tag!!!!

No worries Pope, with any luck at all you and others will be with me should I ever decide to draw that bow back again ;) Brian did good, he tagged a pig of a moose.

Good job man, thanks for giving us a few measurements to at least tide us over till you get the whole story and pics put together.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Sorry to report to you guy's but I'll get to put my hands on it in about 2 hrs  :chuckle: Then I'll be taking the cape to BuckLucky so if I'm real lucky I'll be fondleing a 370 bull today as well and to top it off I'm thinking there is an outside chance Bowsandhose's bull may be there too and sheesh I don't know what I'll do!!!!!! I'll probably scream and start peeing on myself as if I were the one in the rut!!!!  :chuckle:
