Here are the antlers from my 1999 moose. 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.

Big moose? 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.

So Mark, are you ahead on the calorie graph yet?

So Mark, are you ahead on the calorie graph yet? 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".

Bearhuntr- that moose is nothing short of phenomenal. I'd not care if I ever shot another!

No pics of that 80 something across from ANC last fall?? I know it came off a flight service I can't remember the name of at the moment...
I"ve never seen anything over mid 60s.
Never shot one over just over 50 yet either. That day will come though.
They sure ain't small body thats for sure.
