World Record Moose
« on: October 07, 2008, 10:50:54 AM »
For those of you out still moose hunting, I thought I would post the picture and measurements of the world record 205" moose.  Interesting to note...he only has a 53" spread.  Here are some of the key measurements:

Greatest spread: 53
Length of palm: Right 38 6/8 - Left 38 5/8
Width of palm: Right 16 7/8 - Left 15 6/8
Circ. of beam at smallest place: Right 6 7/8 - Left 6 7/8
Number of points: Right 15 - Left 15

I think there are two things about this moose that make it extraordinary.  First, he has 30 total points.  Second, the palm width is wide at about 17".

He scored big(but Yukon versus Shiras)....big difference, and I just got a picture of one today that will probably be in teh top 4 of alltime.  He is one big SOB.

OMG.  You guys are going to skew all the shiras hunters out there.  They need to put those out of their mind and concentrate on shiras, 50", double brows, etc.  Those huge gagger bulls don't live in our world, they live in fairytale land.  We don't live in fairytale land.  We live in Washington.

 :yeah:

I believe the Sharias Moose is the smallest subspecies.  You gotta judge 'em out of the environment of which they come.  Apples to apples,  not apples to oranges.  If I get a 4 pt mule deer off the snake and you got a 6 pt whittie up in Colville, well we just have to leave it at that.
