Jackelope, thanks for posting the other thread, I appreciate that.

Whacker, no, neither bulls were aged by the game department.  The outfitter we were with looked at the teeth and the lack of definition of the points on my bull and figured he was 10 1/2 to 11 1/2 years old.  He figured my buddies bull was 6 1/2 to 7 1/2.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Thanks phool, this was a tremendous hunt I would recommend to anyone.  Funny thing is, when we booked in Feb of 2007 for fall of 2008, one of the reasons was because we never thought we'd get a chance to hunt Moose here in Washington.  Wouldn't ya know it, Bob drew a Moose tag for Huckleberry in 2007 and I drew for Selkirks this year.  I tell ya it must be all the clean living I been doing! :yike:

Rob,
I am in the process of searching Canadian Outfitters for a 2010/11 Moose hunt.  Do you have any more info's on Outfitters you can share info on?

The tag is obtained for you by the outfitter.  I believe he gets like 20 tags a year.  Four of which he sells as archery only hunts.  Then he has two, 8 day rifle rut hunts.  8 people in camp for each of those two hunts.

Both rifles were Browning Stainless Stalkers.  Mine was a 325wsm with 200gr Accubonds.  Bob's was a 300wsm with 180gr accubonds.  Both one shot kills, mine at 70-90 yards, Bob's at around 350+ yards.

Very Nice!

(p.s. I want to see more pics of your house interior.  I love the log detail and ceiling in the far room in the picture.)

bow4elk, thats the bar I built in my basement.  Used 14" Tamarack log and split it down the center with a chainsaw.  got it from my folks place back home.  Anyway, here's some more pics of what my wifes friends refer to as my man room.  My elk head I have upstairs in the stair well, so the jokes on them!

The only problem I see with this room is I ain't in it!  Very nice - thanks for sharing!  I love custom stuff like that where there's a story behind it.
