Yep, a shiras ... tiny by Canada or Yukon-Alaska standards.
BUT, must be thought of considering the local perspective. They are rare, they are elusive and they are uber-cool at the southern edge of their range.
In other words, an incredible trophy by any standards.
And fuggin' great eating.
You won't find me dissing any moose. I love the critters. And anymore, I judge them more by the quality and quantity of work involved....the lesser the better the trophy!
In fact, I was admiring the head that a couple guys were cleaning a bit in a local parking lot; it was an itty bitty thing by comparison to the one pictured in this thread. I was telling the fellows they had done good, and they must have though I was crazy as they made a couple comments in their defense about taking what they could on the last day. A once in a lifetime deal is one thing. Taking a smart trophy when he's the yearly meat source and the quality of the meat is largely the trophy is another.
