Spread was 55 inches; 4 brow tines on each side. My brothers was 58". The moose were together and so were we, so we shot both of them at the same time. Some of you know enough not to do that. I had stories about the hunt in Fur-Fish-Game (February 2001) and Outdoor Life (Summer 2003). Steve. Last edited by Everyday Hunter; 11/09/15.

I don't know about the antlers spread - not sure anyone cared at that particular time- but my pard is 6'3", 280 pounds relative to the moose. I don't honestly keep track of the antler width after it's been reported to F&G. About the only part I remember, data-wise, are the calories expended one way or another in getting the critter from the tracks he's standing in, to the freezer/table.

Unfortunately, yes. I'm quite sure the credit lies elsewhere than in the eating of the venison however. The moose have, so far, always lost. I can see the handwriting on the wall though. Karma is unarguably a five-letter word. However, rather than a "b", I think it may start with an "m". Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

The really wide ones are rarely near as interesting IMO. (But I really like 'em when they're younger: not quite so difficult to pack around, and less work grinding! ) Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
