Keep trying!

I don’t know where I can put the latest moose. I had a friend hold the horns up for comparison in the house. I may have to hang one in Sportmans Warehouse where my caribou is hanging...

Looking at some of these jumbo bulls makes my back really appreciate this tender spike from this fall.

DIY from AK fall of 2019. He was the only moose we saw on the whole trip although we heard many others. The terrain was THICK and packing that thing SUCKED! Elk quarters will forever seem lighter after that.

This backyard cow was still lactating in August and was pretty skinny.
She had twin calfs with her.

2020 moose and hoping to go 3 years in a row this fall

 

[SaskHunter]

A few bulls over the years! In order: 49, 37 and 42 inches. That last one had super narrow antlers. Hoping to draw again this year.

That kind of looks like the same person.

Don’t sugar coat it, say what you mean. Who looks younger?

Yeah he was only 52” wide but it was quite obvious he had at least 3 brows on one side. It definitely exceeded expectations.

I was 42 when I took that picture. The original "selfie" where you had to set the camera timer and had 10 seconds to run back into the picture.

What's your story?

 

[shrapnel]

Taken with an Olympus XA-3 camera with a split screen focus. You could never get anyone that could take a good picture with them because they would be out of focus or not centered. I was there with my 2 sons and I don’t have a picture of all 3 of us with the moose. We took turns taking various pictures, this one was one of my boys taking my picture and this is a scan of a 35mm photo...

This old bull was shot by my hunting partner.
Bull chasing a cow, both swam across a lake towards my partner in a boat.
Bull reaches shore, my partner shoots him with a 300 Win Mag.
Bull turns around and swims halfway across the lake and dies in 10 feet of water
Fortunately he had 2 rope-comealongs and plenty of rope.
