Have you been to NM Paul?  I can't remember if you have or not.

I know what you guys mean about exagerated scores on elk.  However, there are tons of 200" moose in NE Washington.  They are all over.  I have a young source from the area that's in the know...  :tup:

On a serious note, I hunted rosies for three years now and have yet to see one over about 240"?  I actually find it hard to score smaller bulls because you hardly ever see small bulls scored.  You only see them scored when they are 300" and above, plus they are always rocky mtn elk so I never know.  A stubby crowned off rosey scores a bit different I would suppose.  I would love a thread on pictures of roseys and their scores, whether big or small.  I'm sure my little three point from this year scores about 50" or something...lol.

You and I have got to get some of those on film.  I bet elknut may lay down his bugle for an afternoon if he thought he could grunt up a couple 200 inchers (moose) in an afternoon.  I KNOW hornseeker would.  Course for the record, we really don't know anything about moose. :)  Alright, I'll stop stirring that pot, I need to act more approriate for a moderator.  That just stirs emotions......I may have to take my own 5 day ban. :)

I'd like to see a Rosey thread too...  I dont know if they have a website, but good chuck and grace bartlett...they spend all summer photoing in the Olympics...tons of cool rosey pics.

And moose..yeah...that'd be fun. If they hadn't dropped already I'd say lets go! I am going to be over at dads in March for a week Doug..probably no bulls with bone, but maybe some bone on the ground??

Have fun Paul!

I was surprised to see that moose still packing that got stuck in the lake yesterday.  Weird year.  Yeha, I'd like to go back to NM with just my camera.  OK a bow in the hand would be better. ;)
