Field judging shiras

[MADMAX]

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to say
 Boy he’s pretty nice and 30 yds from the road
Little weak on eye guards though
Not this guy
Boom
OIL tag done

tough to tell from pic, but we passed this bull 20 yards off the road because he had weak fronts. Tough pass

I’m looking forward to see what others are seeing in the areas on their scouts
Definitely would dictate my trigger finger itch level
Never hunted moose
But hoping to see others success

No expert by any means, but a single eye guard will kill any score.  Deep, tall paddles, multiple fronts and width.   @benhuntin

Yass. A big score needs 3 eye guards.

Needs 2 brows. 3 is only one extra point.

Doesn’t it also help the overall width and/or length of the palms also with more brow tines? I’m an amateur. You definitely gotta have as that will help them score big but 3 brows will help them get to really big score. That’s what I thought.

What does this guy score.
Scored or judging moose is definitely a new born thing for me.
Pic #1 or pic #2 are different units , different moose.

That bottom one looks like my moose in 2019, think someone put it around 140-145 ish.  Top one is tough to tell, smaller though.

I gotta agree ,it looks exactly the same.

I think this is another pic of the first one.
Little more in his prime before the rut.

I believe this is another of pic #2

No difference in 2 or 3 or 5 brows. The only difference is the total points. You want the brows to fork out as far as possible.  That’s where you get the length of paddle.

I don't think B&C scoring is a good measurement of moose. 

When I had the tag I wanted something that had alot of eye appeal to me.  That was double or triple brows, paddles that had a good width to them and points that were off the paddle a little bit, but not super long like a deer or elk.  I did hear from talking to other hunters who had hunted moose that you wanted to look for bulls where the main beam dipped down as that was a trademark of older bulls. 

End of the day you're the one who needs to be happy with whatever you pull the trigger on at the end of the day.

B&C scoring of moose is terrible! Be the same if we didn’t measure the length of any elk tines when scoring elk.

Here’s a good idea for ya, or anyone for that matter. Being put on by a friend and one of the best guides in the business. I was there last year and Josh is doing it again this year- HIGHLY recommend!

Thanks , probably a lot of useful info for us that have never hunted moose .
