Post by: rezboy on March 04, 2009, 09:24:57 PM: From the other pics I have, I think they drug it out with their quad. Even then, I don't think my quad would drag that damn thing. :chuckle:

Post by: agchawk on March 05, 2009, 06:16:42 AM: I remember reading an article on it. I'll see if I can find it later on (I am at work right now).

However, if I remember right, it was killed in Ontario, Canada will become the new provicial #1 bull moose once it has been officially scored. Again, that's what I remember from the article.

Post by: agchawk on March 05, 2009, 06:27:35 AM: The lucky hunter's name was Fred Hilliard and the moose was taken near Thunder Bay, Ontario. I am still trying to find the damned article I have on it.

But, here's a link to the 2009 Central Canada Outdoor Show results in which the bull was entered/displayed. You'll notice that it took first place in the rifle/moose category (How could it NOT?!).

Again, I'll try to find the actual news release on this beast once I get home tonight (unless some other member beats me to it)

Post by: agchawk on March 05, 2009, 07:02:11 AM: They are the same bull.
Title: Re: Monster Moose
Post by: rezboy on March 05, 2009, 07:12:14 AM: Thanks for all the additional info and link Agchawk. All I got were pictures so it's pretty cool to actually know where it came from and the story behind it. :tup:

I don't even know if my truck would have drug that sucker, let alone my quad! :chuckle:

Post by: NW-Eric on March 05, 2009, 08:57:45 AM: the head could be resting on the quad with the rest behind it and besides look at the first couple forks on the bulls rights side (your left) they are pretty distinct, you can tell it is the same bull

Post by: Blacktail135 on March 05, 2009, 08:59:06 AM: I say same bull. Who said his head is cut off while sitting on the quad?
Title: Re: Monster Moose
Post by: Blacktail135 on March 05, 2009, 09:00:54 AM: Yea, what Eric said!

Post by: twisp_river_slayer on March 05, 2009, 04:47:14 PM: I agree, definately the same bull. All the points match and the one picture on the four wheeler the head is still connected. :twocents:
