Is this a Wa moose or ID?

I didn’t know they made bulls like that. Wowza.

If you are going to book it they will require a location.  I think I know the GMU but either way he’s a bull of dreams.

Thanks everyone for the awesome replies! Yeah this bull is something else. It is definitely something to be proud of. He is an archery WA bull shot with a compound bow and is 44 2/8" wide.

  It is relatively thick in this particular area where he lived so we just poked around here and there calling a little. heard some responses but nothing would come in. We had an hour of daylight left one evening so we decided to give it another try. I cow called and he responded immediately and was right on top of us so we had to move quick to get the wind in our favor as he was trying to circle us. He was grunting and grunting like crazy coming through the tall willows. With the shooter in place, i grunted like a bull and he got bent out of shape and destroyed a tree, then turned straight down the hill towards us right where we wanted him. When i first saw his giant fronts clear the brush I was like OH THATS HIM! Then I realized I forgot to grab my video cam which I had bought just for this hunt haha! He comes down into the opening and stops at 40 yards just long enough to receive the arrow in the heart. He ran about 50 yards and tipped over. I didn't see him fall but i remember what sounded like an old growth doug fir hitting the ground haha. It was pretty awesome to say the least.

  We kind of have a little history with this bull so that makes the whole deal even better for us. And to even think one of us would actually draw the tag and hunt him is incredible. I will try and post some of the history pics we have of him.

  Thanks again for looking and commenting.

Thanks for the follow up details of the hunt.  Sounds like a great time.  Congrats to you guys on a great hunt.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I just want to share it took alot for him to share this pic. The Hunter and poster are very reserved guys. Please do not ask for specifics. You will not get them.
I am proud to know him , he is a great guy and the hunter and poster put in a ton of work. Every time I tried to reach him he was scouting putting out cameras..
He deserves everything that goes with this bull .. a fantastic animal..  and fantastic guys


Outstanding.  Thank them for sharing.  That is an impressive animal.
