Heres more on the Shipsey Bull. This bull was killed on the San Carlos in 1997. The gross score is 502 6/8 and netted 487 and is a non-typical 9x9.I have a book calledThe golden age of elk hunting by John Caid that I bought at the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation show in Reno about 5 years ago. It has hundreds of pictures of monster bulls and a story for most of them. Pretty cool read.

Well, when you are used to gutting a deer, they certainly are when you walk up to them.  Then you go moose hunting.....

A 300 bull is big in my book. 
Dealin w/ a moose is a whole other ball-O-wax.  They put a whole other spin on logistical nightmare.  I can't fathom how hard it'd be to handle 1 by yourself.  Hell, it took me and another guy over an hour and a half to clean one and we had a come along.
