I hit mine dead center below the top of the hump and above the chest and the blood was eye level smeared all through the bushes and xmas trees. I know I'm not tall but still.

Post by: rosscrazyelk on December 14, 2008, 08:22:20 PM: No way thats a Shiras. If it came from northern B.C it is a Yukon or mix with Canadian and Yukon. But neverless it is a brute.. :drool:

Post by: blacktailer on December 15, 2008, 08:39:02 AM: You're right. It is Definately not a Shiras. I thought Bucklucky was referring to a previous poist made by huntnphool. I assumed the moose huntnphool shot must have been a Shiras. If memory serves me, this moose would be considered (by Boone & Crockett)a BC or Canadian moose whether it came from Northern BC or Ontario. Regardless, it's a helluva bull

Post by: Intruder on December 15, 2008, 09:10:28 AM: Wow.... although shot in BC that must be an AK/Yukon variety of moose. I don't think the Canadian subspecies gets that big, do they? If so, it must be way up there in the books.

Post by: 1bowhunter1 on December 15, 2008, 10:12:24 AM: Never in all my years..... :yike: I would run from that monster. Could you amagine what that sounds like running through the timber? Maybe "AMTRACK" BNSF!! WOW
Title: Re: Another Big Moose
Post by: blacktailer on December 15, 2008, 07:34:06 PM: Intruder, the Canadian moose subspecies actually get very large. I believe there is only 20 inches or so of bone seperating the world record Canadian moose from the world record Alsakan Yukon moose.
