The WA game dept. web site said between 1992-2004 the average width of the bull moose harvested was 36-40 inches.......It then said the largest spread was a 58 incher! :drool: :drool:

That would be a PIGGY! :yike:

Found this one on line.

CANADIAN MOOSE
Boone & Crockett minimum – 195
Pope & Young minimum – 135


The Canadian Moose is the only type of moose found in Alberta and there are opportunities to hunt them throughout the mountains, foothills, boreal regions and prairies. Moose are divided into three categories, Alaskan-Yukon, Canadian, and Shiras (Wyoming). They are basically scored the same, with the Alaskan being the largest, Canadian second and Shiras the smallest.

Moose have the most antler mass of the deer family, but are still difficult to judge. Moose are difficult to judge from the side, if you are able to spot one in the open, try to get a look at it from the front and look at his greatest spread, palm width and the points on the palm. A frontal view is the best because you are able to see both the spread and palm width at the same time. This is an important feature, as the total inches of spread are included in the final score. An antler that is widely palmated will usually have a greater spread than one that has narrow palms. Record-class Canada moose will usually have at least a fifty-inch spread to place in the Boone & Crockett record book.

The palms length and width are very important to the score, as well. To be “Book” worthy, the palm should be in that eleven-inch range in width, and have a length of thirty-six to thirty-eight inches. When looking at the palm, pay close attention to the brow tines. Look for the brow palm or even a forked brow palm or point. The length of the palm is measured to the fork of the brow palm or points. If there is no brow palm present, the measurement will be taken to the end of the main palm. This will be end in a great reduction in the score, so watch for the brow palms or forked points.

Points off of the palms are also counted added to the score. These points are often hard to judge in the field, so look for long points off of the main palms, if possible. Points are an added bonus, but don’t get caught up on them. Greatest spread plus palm width and length are the key ingredients for a trophy moose.
