Holy Moly, I know how I felt being 15 yds from maybe a 40"er. I can't imagine being that close to a monster like that - wow.

That is a massive rack. I saw one similar to that when I shot my 42" Dall in 1973. He measured 75 inches but didn't have the palms and number of points that this big boy has. The only reason I know about the measurement on that moose was that it was taken by an outfitter later in the season. The biggest one I ever worked on was one that taped out at 80" and was taken on the Alaska peninsula. By the way, these were green measurements.

I actually love that they added the guy is a meat hunter and doesn't care about the rack size.

Mike, is that guy a local or is he an immigrant?

I can't place his accent, but it sounds like Irish that's been muddied up a bit.

That is a dandy bull.

We are all immigrants.

This place didn't grow people.

Someone pissed in the gene pool, and now we've got more "people" than we know what to do with.


Intervention from a higher authority has laid it's hand on us all, and that Monster bull was intervention to boot.


Did you see those crappy comments from some of the folks? What a bunch of stupid people.

Glorius bull though
