I would venture a guess that IS the moose being referred to. Must have been a date mix up somehow. The odds of the same guy killing another moose 4 years later with the same spread and same over "record" score are astronomical.

either way a moose killed less than 2 weeks ago could not even be legally scored yet, needs at least a 60 day drying period

  Not to mention, isn't there a picture in that link of the guy standing next to the mounted bull? I know that they will sometimes do "rush jobs" on potential record animals for photo ops, appearances, etc but this would be a little excessive, wouldn't it?

   I believe that the date in the article is correct and that this bull was taken in '05. I could be wrong though....I've been known to be a bit slow at times.

It appears to me that he entered it into Boone and Crockett and then later entered it into the Northewest Biggame records (different record keeping organization) That is where the 2009 date comes from possibly. Don't hold me to that though, just a guess. :dunno:

from what i heard and the picture i saw it suppose to be short lived.  A guy got one this year that after the 60 day drying period will break this record.  What a huge moose, would love to have a moose tag sometime in my life. Congrats to the hunter.

That was killed in 2005 as far as I remember.  As for this year, I have so many sarcastic things to say, but I'll try to be nice for once. LOL  OK, thats a 180 bull versus a 140 bull.  Was that nice?

Haaaahaaaaa!!!  And I thought someone on this and the other site was going to be the new record holder.  180, 160, 140, they are pretty much all the same, right?

I'm glad the ice was broken...cause I wasn't going to be able to be quiet!! :chuckle: Its hard to believe the record is only 185 when you know who sees 200" bulls every time he goes out.... (ok... that was a slight exageration...even for him)

"He" is probably having that "193" whitie that he has been bragging about for years (which according the the state book is 183") remeasured and does not have time to respond.

Hmmm seems like he's only  20-30 inches off on all his scores ... It's all the same isn't it???  :chuckle:  If thats the case you should see all the 180 bucks and 400 bulls I have hanging on my walls!

things have changed....I have been hunting since last thursday (moose) not the same as the first week. hearing a few bulls, not seeing many. Is this normal? besides the full moon and all. are things a little slow right now? I seen lots and I mean lots of bulls the first week. only seeing maybe a few per day right now. Have not seen a good one this trip. looking back , I would  kill several that I seen in the first week, Yes! I am having second, third, and fourth thoughts. I know most everyone is real careful with info. just looking for a little input. maybe I should call this trip and come back later? set my goals high at first, they are coming down quickly. seen a 140ish bull tonight, if he had another brow I think he may have died. thoughts?

 They will group back up in bachelor groups. With the leaves falling and them grouping up it should be getting easier to spot them. Maybe its different this year but last year the later it got in November the more bulls we were seeing every day. :twocents:

actually seen a bull the other day following a cow, grunting away. all the bulls i have been seeing have been by themselves.  like I said I could have taken some nice bull elk! the last couple of days I have seen 5 different bulls and several cows. seen one bull 5point like 2 times per day. I want to thank you for your help seen some nice country. have you ever ran into a gamey all the way in there? she drove right up on me.

I did not have it on this computer. anyways do you know anyone with an elk tag here? I don't have gps numbers but I can guide someone to a couple of bulls if interested.

If you find a hot cow, you'll know as there will be a pile of bulls on her.  Most are breed by now, but if one missed first cycle, there will be A LOT of action around her.  I sent Hornseeker into one of my favorite muley haunts after deer and he ran into a dozen hot bulls working a cow in the bowl.  That was 2nd or third week in November.  Rut doesn't have to be on to call them in.  I've called in quite a few in January and February while horn hunting or goofing off.  They are actually pretty social for such a solitary animal.
