Montana Moose & Mental Fortitude

[PaulRevere]

DAMN. Very cool.

Awesome bull congrats. Moose meat is absolutely the best meat from the mountains in my opinion! Enjoy and don’t forget to really anchor that sucker once you put him on the wall!

 

[BeartoothFront]

Huge congrats to you partner! Jake and Isaac are some of the most stand up guys I've ever met. Really happy you were able to come away with a once in a lifetime bull

Thanks for leaving mine for next year

Agreed. Not sure how this mook ended up friends with such great fellas. I couldn’t speak higher of them.

Only the biggest and best 2 year olds for you!

 

[BeartoothFront]

Heck yeah. Thanks for sharing.. awesome story.

From the wounded children, to the big bull, to the backstrap that’s longer than you are tall, to the fact that you still have a friend with a flip phone.

Ha! He is more rare then a 165” moose…

Congratulations, great bull and HOLY BACKSTRAPS!

Well done BTF! That's a great story and an outstanding bull.
I shot my Shiras bull in 1994 and it's been staring down at me from my family room wall ever since.
I still get a smile on my face when I stare back.

 

[Bluffgruff]

Look at that backstrap! Nice antlers too....

 

[BeartoothFront]

Thank you everyone! It was quite the adventure!

While score and size aren't all a successful hunt entails there are a few threads I referenced frequently for photos and knowledge...

Need some Shiras pics please.

Moose Score Sheet Is Complete

What do I need to know about Moose

I looked at @Greenhorn and @shrapnel moose quite a bit throughout the last 6 months.

I rough scored him but I'll wait to post once he gets scored after the drying period...

 

[Neumie]

Great bull and great story! Thanks

 

[BeartoothFront]

Finally got the time to have him scored. Just squeaks into All-Time by 5/8". Wouldn't have been disappointed either way. Very very happy.

 

[littlebighorn]

Not many bulls meet Book measurements these days. Great animal.
Well done

 

[Mato]

Way hella cool!

Great hunt, story, bull and that bruin head is the topper

Well done!

(glad the tent didn't get it's azz kicked

I'm going to apply for cow moose tags after 26' so that I have better odds of obtaining more moose jerky. Your moose meat provisions are the best yet!
