Howdy all, 1st time poster here...
...my family's been moose hunting the same camp for 30 years next season. A few shots:
My 60"
My little bro's 1st bull, 56"
Dad and uncle with a nice 50-ish" bull
Can't remember the exact spread of this one...54" maybe?
...this is the only bull I know of anyone wounding and losing out of our camp. Dad shot it twice in the neck at close range with a .300 H&H, it ran into the thick brush and he lost it in the pouring rain and night coming on. Next day several of us combed the area, nothing. Needless to say, we were pretty upset. Two days later and a couple miles away, dad's best friend John was hunting a muskeg behind camp when this bull came charging by on the heels of a cow. One vitals shot with a .338-.378 put him out of his misery. We didnt know it was the same bull until I found the .30 call bullet in his neck.
...lastly, a nice camera shot of a big boy I took in Denali Park
