Title: Selkirk Moose Down!!
Post by: deerdog on October 10, 2011, 09:55:08 PM
Here are a few pictures from my Selkirk moose hunt. It was a fun & exciting hunt, definitely a once in a lifetime hunt, & can't wait to be able to go again with friends & family when they finally get drawn! We hunted for 7 days, covering & glassing lots of ground. We saw 5 moose (3 bulls & 2 cows), 4 bears, & lots of deer. I got my bull on the afternoon of the 7th day. He is 46 inches wide! We were able to get him out whole, thanks to a chainsaw winch...which worked great! Thank you to everyone on Hunt WA & everybody else who helped make this a successful hunt, (including the farmers who let us strangers from Wenatchee use their tractor to hang & skin my moose!)

Thanks everybody for the comments, execpt the chandler one I think I'm way better of a hunter. :chuckle:  :chuckle: Just got back from cutting and wrapping and guessing I got right around 270#'s of pure meat. It took my wife and the I all day yesterday to cut and wrap, but we got lucky and got some help in the afternoon for weatherbyfan and my cousin, a big thanks to them or we might still be there!! :tup:

Thats an awesome bull! Give us some measurements!!! And dont forget to put a pic on the OIL thread at the beginning of this forum!

Here are the measurements that I got from the taxidermist, I think it is a rough score but he said that even after the drying period he thought it would still make the book! Not a big deal either way as I am still happy with it!!

Greatest Spread      45 4/8
                                                Right                        Left                Difference

Width of Palm                          10 4/8                        9 2/8                1 2/8
Length of Palm                         31 4/8                       31 6/8                2/8
Circumference                           6 1/8                         6 2/8                 1/8
