Awesome story man!!!! Congrats on getting your moose.  I am pretty sure when you first found out you got this tag i told you, that you couldnt go down to the last minute.  My heart and mind couldnt stand another hunt down to the last second.  But you didnt it. When ever you are ready to make a trip over to find those sheds let me know. I will drive, you earned it.  We gotta get those sheds. and make that moose complete.  I am thinking a pedestal mount with one horn mounted on the moose and the other fallin off down below him on the pedestal??? what do you think??  Anyways congrats man, you earned him.

Great idea Garrett! That would be an AWESOME mount. Lets find those sheds.

Way to go. Glad to see all your and your companies dedication payed off well for you. After your season, you might want to consider a walk in freezer for your house! If you can convince your wife to let you go hunt that much, a walk in freezer addition shouldn't be all that hard to swing :chuckle:

Nice job pulling it together Rob. You sure got a lot of mileage out of that tag, out of this thread, and most importantly out of Mark. I remember the feeling as the elk tag I had drawn was coming to a close and I had the realization I was going to eat a great tag, but it was also great because Mark and I had hunted the entire season and saw some incredible things and I knew it was a lot better sharing it with a friend than hunting it alone. You had that feeling also then it ended on a high!  :brew:

Thanks G, and thats a great idea. How about it Charlie, is that doable? :dunno: Problem is I'm not sure when I can get over there again, so finding them may be out till spring. Still working on getting that cell phone vid, will let you all know when I get it.

phool....I'm a little late in joining the party but want to say Congrats to ya non the less!  For a once in a lifetime tag, you sure made it a once in a lifetime hunt.  Amazing what other people will do for a person sometimes.  Sounds like you had a great supporting cast.  I totally commend you for stickin' with it until the very end and even more so for taken a Bull that had already dropped and being damn proud of it.  Hope you either find the sheds or are able to come up with something creative for your mount, it definitely dererves it.  Congrats again!!

CONGRATS  ,   I knew you would get one  :chuckle:   but to get him with a bow on the last day -  minute of the season is AWESOME .  Im a die hard bow hunter but i think my bow would have stayed in the truck that late in the season . Great job to you and all who helped , very entertaining . :brew:
