I still need to get some info to the scorer for him to submit the paperwork, so I thought about asking him to remeasure the bases, as I think he may be off a little. (I believe, after reading the B&C website, you can ask for a remeasure by the original measurer, if you believe it was measured incorrect).  The more I think about it though, I think I will just leave it be.  I will be in the Awards Book (although I think I will miss the deadline for the next book, and have to wait another three years for my moose to be in), and it will not change how I feel about the moose, or the great memories of the trip.  If the original measurer "shorted me" a little here, he may have given me too much somewhere else, so it is what it is.

Thanks for all the comments and advice.  Now if I can ever make this trip again, it gives me something to shoot for.  In the All Time Book, or not, I know it won't change the taste.  And I have about 300 lbs in the freezer.

You are correct - it's always OK to have a measurer double check to ensure the measurement was taken accurately.  Thanks for bringing that up.  Also, I should note that all math is checked and verified by the Records Office before a score is recorded.  Mistakes do occur and it's certainly OK to ask your measurer to re-do or check something before submitting.
