Selkirk Moose
« on: October 07, 2008, 06:58:51 PM »
Here are a few pics of my dad's Selkirk Moose he shot on October 6th.  He's really proud about it as he should be.  Not much of a story other than they hunted since opening day, saw many moose but only this big one.  Seemed that calling them in was very effective.  Shot it with a .338  I think it was like 51 3/4 inches wide.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Very well done!!! Congrats to your dad and his crew.

Seeing all these moose pics are going to cost me a lot of money in raffle chances next year. I have to increase my odds somehow, wdfw won't draw my name for the permit hunt. :'(

Now that's a big bull right there.  Wide, points, double forks.  He has it all.

Right on.  I talked to your Dad before he left and he was Jacked.  Glad he was feeling good enough to get out there.  That is a dream come true for a guys on the brink of death 1 year ago and to be able to take an animal of life time the next.  I can't wait to see it.

Also glad Don was able to go with him.

Congrats to your dad on an awesome moose!

I really hope I get drawn next year!!!  Maybe if WDFW decides to make only 2 choices for OIL hunts I'll get my chance.

Wow! Now that is a dandy bull! It will look great on the wall. Even better, there will be many steak dinners to come. I'm drooling just thinking about mine tomorrow night as I just picked up my moose meat today!
