Agreed, he does kinda have Elk look to his rack...cool bull though. Nice and wide, congrats on a job well done. Excellent work.

Re: well i am back from my moose hunt, tag filled!
I have the same Wasatch moose tag this year. I have only hunted a couple of days counted probably 18 moose - 12 bulls. Most bulls are yearlings to 30-inch spreads. I am having the same problem as you, not finding the larger bulls. Hunted Wildcat this past saturday (saw zilch), however, ran into 2 other moose hunters. One guy mentioned that he was seeing moose & larger bulls high above the tree line, he had a photo of a fairly nice one 42-45 inches wide.
Not sure where the big bulls are hiding out. Normally you see several large moose in Wildcat, maybe it is too early?? Hopefully, the big bulls will come down to the cows this week for the rut?? We have seen 6 cows & only one had a bull in tow. Getting the leaves off the trees should make the spotting easier in October.
Anyway - nice bull. With the price of gas/diesel it makes for a pretty expensive hunt - I can sympathize with your wanting to get the hunt over.
Anyone else sees a decent moose during the muzzleloader or elk hunts I would be interested in hearing about it. Thanks.

one last question - do you think there is 8-inches of hair between the horns. I am try to field judge the width on some of these moose?

OCF,
Welcome and best of luck. Not much help on your tag though! Hope the big ones start appearing.

Nice Bull. This is the same Tag I have this year - But I'm Still out there looking for the Big Boys for now!! I have been finding the same results - either dont find any or there just a bunch of small boys chasing the cows. Hopefully I will find him this weekend!!!
