You are new to the state without a ATV, Snogo, jetboat, raft or any other collection of stuff. Get your pilot's license this year. Get your hours in next year and save for a 180 or a cub. You will not miss opportunities. When people ask about hunting you will just wink and smile! You will have saved money over the long haul.

Your moose is one that is hard to judge in the field as the bases extend way out before splitting or palmating. There's 30"+ of shaft prior to dividing. Interesting!.....and yes, a canoe is an inexpensive and capable moose getter.

hard as heck for me to guess but I'm going with a wide margin.... 58-62 depending on the angle...
Lets see how far off I am.

Lets see how far off I am. A mile off!  That sucker is WAY wide. High to very high 60s, might nudge over the mythical 70.

When I got him to the office, our redneck IT guy measured him at 70 on the nose, and our redneck VP said that I'll never top it. I could never get more than 69.75 out of him.

He looked wide wide. From the pictures I just can't get more than 62 out of it, but thats not fair either, sometimes photos just don't work.
Or maybe the fact I"m scared to death of shooting a small one... LOL... brow tines rule.
I"d still be arguing over the .25 inch... not...
Great bull for sure, would have been really grand if not folded, but to be honest I love the character of that bull!

Look at the hand on the moose, nearly dead center of the antlers on the edge of the hand. The hand on the antler is spread out a ways... between them there is topography...

yeah, now I noticed that, I did not originally... hand to hand, if it were 3 feet, thats 6 feet of spread....
But then how does I know what hand to hand is.
OTOH I'd never even look twice at that bull, bang. Worry about the rest later.

He certainly does have a different shape with those bases extending out so far. I though high 60s was a pretty easy guess!

Great bull for sure, would have been really grand if not folded, but to be honest I love the character of that bull! My wife wonders why I can't shoot anything that's normal...my best muley is a big heavy long typical 3 on one side, with a 2-fist-sized knot on the other with 4 big long tines poking out. Better dall sheep is broomed way back. The bulls death was out of a pat McManus story. I turned around to pack up to leave, and my wife peeks out over her novel from under a poncho and sees the bull waltz out of the woods and maim an alder. "Bull...shoot him!"
