Post by: huntnphool on September 09, 2014, 10:43:19 PM: He's not particularly long and his paddles are not real wide, but he is a decent bull for sure.

That may be true. But in my fantasy the arrow has already passed through and is laying on the bloody ground before I realize what you said :chuckle: He is way too cool looking for me to worry about a score. Plus, since I am a WDFW forever loser...fantasy is all I'll ever have. Nice pictures!

I wouldn't shoot him first day (triple fronts, 9 points and at least 48") but I could later if I could talk coach into giving me shells.

Title: Re: Good 117 Moose
Post by: jackelope on September 13, 2014, 08:00:53 AM: That is a great bull that 90% of hunters would be thrilled to notch their tag on, myself included.

Post by: boneaddict on September 13, 2014, 08:17:09 AM: The only thing that bull would hear would be a soft thump and the air escaping out two holes out each side of his chest.

Post by: jae on September 14, 2014, 07:41:43 PM: I hope to find one that nice. I would love to have the opportunity to take a beautiful animal like that one with My bow this year. I can not wait to get back over there and do some more scouting before season.

The pictures are 8/4 and 8/5, I checked the cam in early September and the batteries died in early August (8/7). Will be checking the cam again in early October, will post more if he is still around.

Post by: Slayerz on October 11, 2014, 10:15:56 PM: I got a few pics of this bull after he got rid of his velvet. How wide to you think he is? He may still be alive.
Title: Re: Good 117 Moose
Post by: hirshey on October 11, 2014, 10:22:51 PM: Knowing mine was 48, I'd have to give him low 50's. Beautiful critter.
Title: Re: Good 117 Moose
Post by: RadSav on October 11, 2014, 10:26:34 PM: I'll give you a call next year when I get my tag...and then we will find out for sure :chuckle:

Love the moose pics! Was hoping you would have some post velvet :tup:

I had to go back and look at your photo to make sure it wasn't the same bull :chuckle: His paddles look a little shorter than yours but those tines look longer. Makes me think you are on the money guessing low 50's. But I am just a moose dreamer and not an expert ;)
Title: Re: Good 117 Moose
Post by: Slayerz on October 11, 2014, 10:52:00 PM: I posted a couple trail pictures over on Jae's thread of what I think is the same bull as Butch's. Trying to use it as reference, I was guessing mid 50's, but the angles and distance are much different.

Here are a few other good bulls from the same camera.

What kind of camera is that, the bull looks superimposed.
