My buddy chose the big 6x6 and I don’t blame him, it’s what everyone wants ….. I have a couple so I would have taken the freak bull personally. Maybe next year as I’m up to bat for that same tag with a buddy…..
We will see…
Anyways back to the moose ..
This southern zone where the bulls were taken previously is considered as a Shiras species zone under SCI standards and yes, IMO the bulls are a tad smaller body wise down south than the central to northern Canadian Moses designations of Alberta. Most of the province isn’t privy to the chinook...

We loaded up the 1/2 ton and were on our way Nw a few hours. We had a destination in mind and when we got there we watched a good bull cross the road in front of us ten minutes after legal light but watched him go into the neighbour’s. We drove in to ask for permission but nobody was home. We...
