Title: How many Boone and Crockett moose taken in WA?
Post by: Rufous on July 21, 2008, 08:59:44 PM: I am just wondering how likely a guy might hope to find a bull moose that would net 155 in WA state. Do any of you have access to the B&C record books that would show how many B&C moose have been taken in WA? If so what units did they come from. My brother and I drew the Huckleberry moose tag and I am curious if there is any hope of taking a B&C contender. Thanks, Brian.

I'm sure there have been plenty killed that have never been measured too, probably an equal percentage. I think the awards book is a very obtainable goal if a guy has the time and is able to keep his finger off the trigger.
