moose scouting
well i went up labor day weekend to scout moose, i seen two bulls and two cows . (could not get out a lot to scout it was pouring rain most of the weekend and cold!i went several times but one of the times i was quite aways from camp and it started pouring lucky i was prepared and had a poncho but my hands were numb!)well i only could get pictures of the one bull but he is quite a bit bigger than the other i saw.he is not a monster but in my opinion a very respectable bull, i would be ecstatic to get him! he is a 6x6 with the doubles in front on just the one side, but.. i am a sucker for uniquness and he is a little unique. . well here are the pics. what do you guys think for width? i thought between 34-38 inches.not sure though just a guess.
well happy hunting everyone and good luck!

Re: moose scouting
Well Ox, since I have never harvested a Moose before, my opinion is probably not the greatest but I think he's a great lookin' bull. I'd be happy with him!
Re: moose scouting
thanks, im in the same boat as you thats only the second shiras bull i have ever seen in real life. i know there are lots bigger but there are also lots smaller too so i think i would be pretty happy to get him especially with a bow and i think i could get him with one easily i got to 15 yards of him and didnt dare get closer

Re: moose scouting
Where were you scouting? I would say no, not a shooter until the last day. There are alot better bulls than him up here.

Re: moose scouting
I would assume there is bigger bulls also, but if you happy with him then that's what matters most.

Re: moose scouting
I agree with you on the width. Save him for the last day. You wont be sorry.
Re: moose scouting
Ox, I hope you get a big one. I'll be pulling for you. Bring home a freezer full.
Re: moose scouting
man i thought he was a decent bull. but i am still tryin to decide what to do. thats just the biggest one i have seen and i know where he lives so its hard to pass on him incase someone else gets an oppurtunity on him
Re: moose scouting
Good luck my friend and keep us posted. I am pretty jealous that you even have the opportunity to hunt a bull moose! I can't wait to hear how it turns out.
