Post by: pianoman9701 on October 02, 2013, 07:41:01 AM: You couldn't have passed on him. He's a beauty. That's big head gear for AK, never mind the lower 48. Nicely done.

How far of stalk and shot?
Title: Re: I'll throw out the 1st 49 moose pic
Post by: dinkus16 on October 02, 2013, 09:11:38 AM: Props to Clint for his patience to get into a shooting lane! We had that bull and 2 cows at ~ 50 yards for at least a half hour before he was able to maneuver his way to get a shooting lane! I would have shot it with a gun if I had the tag;) fun hunt, and hopefully I will have the pleasure to hunt or help on another moose hunt up there in the future! Great work Clint!
Title: Re: I'll throw out the 1st 49 moose pic
Post by: Dode on October 02, 2013, 09:12:28 AM: Rough measured him at around 45 inches. Give or take. The brow tines are what sealed the deal for me though. I also want to thank my scouting partner. She's the one that said that area looked "moosey"! I guess it did.

As ecstatic as I am about my moose, I kind of wish I could still be out there enjoying the hunt. That after all is the best part of it, the hunt. Here is another pic from the hunt.

Thanks for the comments. I am very glad that I was able to use my bow on this hunt. It made it that much more exciting. It would have been a 5 second stalk with a rifle. Instead of 50 minutes trying to get in on him with my bow while his two cows were standing guard.
