Post by: oldleclercrd on October 15, 2012, 08:49:11 PM: Yes. That average guy usually holds out for a 40" bull, so 54" is excellent. What are YOU happy with?

OMG! Exactly what I was going to post! :chuckle:

My Yukon moose ended up being 56", but also had 5 and 6 brows on it, really nice!

Washington State Bull Moose.

Since the world record Shiras moose has a 53" spread, 54" would be pretty good.

Post by: benhuntin on October 16, 2012, 06:16:05 AM: Is there a point to these questions? Spread helps but you have to have alot more. Kinda like sayin, is a 32" muley good? Well not if he is a 2x3. Throw up a pic. Are you talkin about the govenors tag? not sure what the spread is but its a monster.

Title: Re: Moose question
Post by: boneaddict on October 16, 2012, 07:23:35 AM: maybe if he was that close and I had accidentally got some cow moose piss on me. :o

I have turned down a 54 in moose becasue he had no palm whatsoever. Generally however that would be an incredible moose. I am wondering if this has anything to do with a moose I saw pics of that haven't shown yup here yet???

Post by: Dr. Death on October 16, 2012, 07:31:37 AM: Saw a pict also of a 54 taken....nice bull, single brows...same bull that you saw bone?
Title: Re: Moose question
Post by: boneaddict on October 16, 2012, 07:34:13 AM: I have seen one that matches that description and also another REALLY nice one with good brows.
Title: Re: Moose question
Post by: Dr. Death on October 16, 2012, 07:38:20 AM: Havent seen the other one with good brows...do know that the 54" single brow did not come out of 117....
Title: Re: Moose question
Post by: mdme3006 on October 16, 2012, 07:51:47 AM: The reason I am asking is that the one I shot in 49 degrees is 54". I don't have the camera with the pics here. I am taking it to the taxidermist this morning and then heading back up to help the guys with there deer. I will keep you posted and get you the pics. He is Huge. Single and double brow tine. Thanks to all the guys who helped me. I am leaving now and wont have any computer till I get back Sunday. Good luck to everyone.

This was an awsome hunt and I heard a rumor the taxi said we measured it wrong. It sounds like it may have a couple more inches than 54. Congrats and thanks for letting me share the experiance with you!
