49' Moose Tag

[Dr. Death]

So, not knowing....approx how big is that bull? wide? are those good paddles? What approx would it score, just a guess, since you can't see the fronts..?

I've seen 25 moose around here and this was by my judgement, probably in the 52 inch range. He was really a nice bull. I would of shot him in a hearbeat. Here's a couple more to maybe compare sizes. You'll have to look real hard to see what I'm talikng about.

Here's a 49' moose from the last time I was up in that area.  That place is thick with moose, and I would really get familiar with what it has to offer before getting trigger happy.  This was an "ok" moose with single brows...definitely would get passed on unless it was near the very end.  There are some unique bulls up there.

Campmeat, the picts are great. In the bottom pict, the bull of the left side of the pict is the one that looks good to me..... Hard to tell the 1st pict...

Miles, that one looks pretty desent to me, but what do I know...lol

The "twins" should be bigger by now.  This was from 2009.

It is a good moose, but wouldn't score all that high.  Depends on what you're looking for...   He's got single brows, and long tines that make him look bigger.  Up close the combo of his body size and long tines would get quite a few people to pull the trigger.

Ya know, any moose no matter what, will be a trophy. You're one lucky fella is all I gotsta say. Maybe be picky for a day or two, but don't eat your OIL tag for a record wall hanger, I wouldn't. Go with what you feel is your choice and nobody elses.

I couldn't agree more about them all being trophy's itll be hard to be patient and especially hard to pass on ok bulls looking for MR. right.  coach is gonna have to hold my arrows and keep me from arrowing the first decent one we encounter....

There are a lot of moose out there. I called in 4 different bulls and pass on them before I shot mine. And I shot him on day 4. After I got him down I had shooters remorse. Don't get me wrong he's a good bull 43" but I knew there were bigger out there. And to boot I could have arrowed him but I gun hunted. Get some calling video's they love to fight and come right in. Careful w/the cow calls, I had a bulls coming in one morning w/bull grunts. I started to give some cow calls to fire him up and his cow started to wine and he turned and went off w/her before I could get a look at him.
