I think he was in shock. I said smile Jay, you just shot a moose. Then we laughed about "I think he is thinking about having to pack it out now." What a gorgeous evening. Full moon coming off, steam rising from the moose,another bull grunting from the hillside, good guys enjoying the outdoors.
Hes pretty close on the score. When I first sized up the bull I was thinking 140 class but then changed my opinion to a 150 class bull. The only thing he "lacks" is some mass and tine length, which both count for nothing in score. I was so thrilled when I heard him put that paddle to some brush. That sound is such a rush. Then when we were looking for the bull "In the Deep", I was excited to walk up on it and see those Triple Brows. We got the King of the area.
The bull on the hill was probably that 42 incher and he was probably thrilled we just knocked out his competition.
