Incredible moose

[Tradhunter]

I may try and can some when I get time. I still have never had canned game meat other than salmon.

Bone, what poundage and broadhead would you recommend for moose with a longbow? The hybrid I hunt with currently is only 63# and I shoot Bear Razorheads which I don't think I would use on a moose I don't think. I sure love killing elk and deer with that set up though.

Awesome moose, and even better story behind it. To have history with that bull and end up taking him, what a great memory. Congratulations to the hunter and you..

Keeping me dreaming.  Nice bull and thanks for keeping dreams alive.

[Tradhunter]

Its keeping my dreams alive too! Especially hearing about how our moose population is doing. I'm sure there was a lot of luck on our side for this one. It feels like there should of been a lot of moose to go through before we found the one we were looking for but I guess not. It is kind of a hard spot to hunt and they seem to be pretty shy of road systems except for the bull I almost hit a week ago in my Samurai! Yeah that would of been a disaster!

Wow.  Please thank him for letting you post, great bull.

There has been some big bulls killed this year!! And I know of one that is bigger than that bull believe it or not!!! Washington has some great moose

[Tradhunter]

Oh I believe it! I have seen bigger and actually in the exact spot we shot this one but it was a couple years ago and we have not seen him since so figured he was dead or gone or he would of been our target. Not a doubt in my mind he would of been around the 200" range. I got to watch him at 40 yards. I also know of a bull that was targeted by a guy this year that is in that realm as well. I have not heard if he got him or not. Just have to be out there and be persistent.

Awesome! thanks for posting that bull and story. That bull is great no matter what but even better when you have history with him. I have had target animails I have went after and its really hard waiting and getting the ONE but what a rewarding hunt

Yea there have been some pigs killed this year. I would love to see pics of a 200” Washington bull.

I wished I would have taken pics of the real big one but I was too awestruck and didn't think about it haha!

They don’t want to share... what’s wrong with that?

It is nice there are so many cut on contact heavy broadheads available these days.  I would feel comfortable with an arrow in the 500-600 range with a solid CTC two blade, and good arrow flight.  Basically, the same set-up I shoot for deer and elk out of my 62# longbow.

Thank you for all the photos and story.  That is an amazing animal.  Congrats to the hunter.
