That bull eluded a lot of tag holders for several years.

What did his teeth look like?  I'd guess he was in the high teens or a  shade over in age.

  Hopefully he left some genes out there for the future if I ever get drawn... :chuckle:

Excellent story and even better moose. Definitely the stuff dreams are made of!  Thanks for taking us along through the story!

What was the score of the world record moose from ferry County?  Is the Colorado moose the new world record ( 194" )?
The other ferry county was mid 170’s Boone and Crockett. Scored 500”+ SCI

Shiras Boone and Crockett world record is way over 200”
