Wow! And moose make me yawn, usually.

![[Linked Image]](http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o165/nvmiller/20160811_174826_zpsqde8acjj.jpg) Definitely nothing to yawn over, he's solidly in the mid 60s. His left paddle lays down pretty good and a couple bonus inches on that point out the side.

Packed too many literal tons of moose meat too many miles... I spent 28 days in moose camp last year and will do it this year, but just two weeks. Three guys with 184 years between us had three bulls hanging by the 7th last season. I should be able to kill one by the 10th this year. Swamp buggies with gin poles make it possible...

Posting that is just plain wrong.

looks to be about 10-15 yards in front of those trees.
no need to thank me, glad to help
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

![[Linked Image]](http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o165/nvmiller/20160811_174748_zpszpkqpge4.jpg) Wish I could say he was 100 yards from my moose camp, but I'd be lying. These are the only kind of shots I will get, he lives in a no hunting zone. When I took these four other vehicles stopped to have an ogle. (not Denali Park) I usually see him every year around now, he's bigger all the time. Definitely makes some good dream material. Now if I could just locate those sheds...

That is a spectacular bull in my book. I've never killed a moose and likely never will unless I hit the lottery.

That's one extremely nice moose! Makes any I've seen look small! Of course I've only seen a few, other than dead cows on the highway!

You Alaskans paid $50,000,000 for this barley project so the least he could do is eat barley rather than corn.

I'm from Nevada. To me that looks like a big azzed Bullwinkle. This is a "horny toad": ![[Linked Image]](http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w460/leahacrow/P1030201.jpg) Hope this helps..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Rather than a "Booner" I call them "boomers" as eye measuring is not needed. Just go boom!
