I’d give my left testicle to get a moose like this. The moose had a 74" spread.

Wow, its rack was so big that it drowned when it tried to get a drink of water.

 

Wow....that is one big mother of a Bull Moose!!!

 

Jebus that a big moose.

I would love to see how they mounted that rack on the bush plane for the return trip. It doesn't look like a Piper Cub as I would expect for that terrain but even then, how many trips do you think it took to haul the meat back?

Anybody want to guess how long it took them to debone all that meat?

Nice bull indeed, but that poor bastard.......there ain't nothin, and I mean NOTHIN' worse than trying to take care of a moose in the water. In fact, a couple years ago I let a real nice 60" bull go beacause I didn't want to shoot him in the swamp. Waaaaaaaay too much work. I've been lucky so far and even tho many of my bulls were near water, they've all died on land....Thank God...!!
Anyway....Well Grizz, if you'd be willin' to give your left one for that, then no doubt you let go of both of them AND your wanger for this one. If I recall, this is the potential new world record. I don't remember all the info on this bull, but I'll try to track it down for you. I do know it was killed in AK. almost 2 years ago. The B&C club doesn't list the new WR until the BIG convention, I think every four years.
Enjoy.....

 

Wow I remember seeing this photo go around.....Just simply amazing the size of this moose!!! How in the H.E. double hockey sticks would you mount this on your wall without having issues with your structural posts and beams in your home???

 

That is a monster.

 

Gentlemen,

Referenced below is the new potential World Record Moose!

Show this to your spouses and they might quit asking for a year why we
spend so much money pursuing "Big Daddayyy"!

Here are the particulars:
The moose in the photos is an Alaska-Yukon moose taken by Eric Arnette
on
September 5th,2004. It was taken in the Kilbuck Mountains, which is 380
miles west of Anchorage, AK. The rack is approximately 75 inches wide,
has about 36 countable points, and was unofficially scored by a person
who is not an Official Measurer at around 264 points.
In the near future it'll be posted on the Boone and Crockett Club's
web
site On "Trophy Watch" where the official score will be announced once
it is entered.

 

My old 1981 Boone and Crockett Book has the record at 255 with a spread of 77” and 18 points on the left and 16 points on the right, killed by Kenneth Best in 1978 in McGrath Alaska.
That new record my friend is a trophy worth a bloody fortune.

 

Indeed. As you know points are great, and the more the better, but mass is where you really start to beef up a score. And as you can see this cull is quite massive. I saw one of the world records in Anchorage years ago. It was a crazy rack because of the mass it had and how tall the palms were, yet only being in the high 50s for a spread.
