Young friend's first bull (last year.) 72" ! He will have a heck of a time topping this one... Those kind are often best left for those who either lack the necessary judgement to know better, or are in the company of paid 'help'.

I'd like to lack that knowledge just once.. but you know what I mean. LOL

Some of the best trophies a guy will ever have are the ones that never get dusty.....and hang only on the walls of memory. Granted, they are easier to take when it was you who walked away.

This young man is the shortest of three brothers-he is only 6'3". The other help were brothers J. at 6'5" and A. at 6'8". These fellas can pack anything! It's really, really in their blood to do so...

52" Yakutat - Back in the Day. I'd love to acquire a similar set, they're long gone... As the saying goes: if I only knew then what I know now.

Friends and I did this in 2 days once. We refer to it as the "P90moose workout".
Luck favors the prepared.

This fellow was right behind the house on opening day,he's ancient here, in his prime he was in the mid 70's for 2 or 3 years. We tried eating his tenderloins and then ground every bit of him into burger,hotdogs, and saucauge.

That's one of those 7-Up moose...."Fresh and clean, no velveteen, never had it....." Wait, I think I'm getting things mixed up. Well, an early season/August moose anyway. Those big ones are so tasty (fat and sweet) right before the rut starts. This fellow was right behind the house on opening day,he's ancient here, in his prime he was in the mid 70's for 2 or 3 years. We tried eating his tenderloins and then ground every bit of him into burger,hotdogs, and saucauge. I've always liked those gnarly older bulls' antlers the best. 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! )
