Yep, Dead Bull !!

I have heard that there is about 30" from ear tip to ear tip or approx 10" long ears and 10" between them and about 7 1/2 inches between the bosses ?? maybe that will give you a better read on your bull

Here is one that is 45" wide and big...but one single brow.  Because of this it won't make book.  Do you guys shoot it?  An impressive moose.  (I guess I realized that book is very subjective with moose.  Tons of big moose won't make book but they are great trophies I would be happy with)

people get way to caught up in the score.  I shot a smaller moose once, but am very proud of it and my Dad was at my side.  I even catch myself thinking I could have done better, but you know what, its proudly displayed on my wall, and it was one hell of a hunt.  If you are happy with it SHOOT IT!  I called him from a LONG WAYS away and I killed him at about 15 feet and there was a second bull, and long story short.  one hell of an experience.

I'm really struggling with what my goal should be on the hunt.  I would love to take a record book critter, I never have and this is probably about as good of an opportunity as I have ever had.  That being said the way moose are scored is somewhat odd.  In the end I think I am just going to enjoy the hunt and when I find a bull that looks good I'll take him.  These bulls on this thread are good enough though, even the one with only one browtine.

I'd go for the biggest animal with the most meat. You can't eat the horns!

It's too bad you can't weigh them first before you decide which one to shoot.   :chuckle:

Here is a good one.  Do you shoot this guy?

Well that is a big wide bugger for sure but his brows are not split. Depending on what I have been seeing during the hunt I think I would mark him with my GPS and look a little more. If the brows were split I would have taken the shot if close enough. That guy in the video needs a tripod or mono pod, looks like he has a bad case of bull fever.

I've got the whole month of Oct. to hunt. So I'm going to try and be picky. Like I said try to be picky. Also, fall turkey is open also, Sept. 27-Oct. 3.

here's a 50" bull with single brows and a 43" bull with double brows...not sure about you but if they were standing broadside to me...the 50" bull would be going for a ride in a silverado truck....

Good point Jackelope, I can see your logic. My fear, besides tag soup, is to find a 45" bull with double brows on the first morning :dunno:
