Moose on the Loose... #11447016 09/19/16 Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 5,197 Montana......NE Corner.. scenarshooter OP Campfire Tracker OP scenarshooter Campfire Tracker Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 5,197 Montana......NE Corner.. Actually, He's in the freezer. Good enough for me after waiting 39 years for another moose permit....:) After the moose was boned, packed, and back to town, we decided to try for a wolf. My pal had two canis lupus tags in his pocket ready to be punched. We walked in about 4 miles to the head of a basin where he'd heard some howling a week or so ago. after calling, waiting and glassing for about two hours, these two eager beavers showed up. Wrong species, but good practice none the less. Elevation was 9000' give or take. Luck....is the residue of design...

In other words, an incredible trophy by any standards. And fuggin' great eating. You won't find me dissing any moose. I love the critters. And anymore, I judge them more by the quality and quantity of work involved....the lesser the better the trophy! In fact, I was admiring the head that a couple guys were cleaning a bit in a local parking lot; it was an itty bitty thing by comparison to the one pictured in this thread. I was telling the fellows they had done good, and they must have though I was crazy as they made a couple comments in their defense about taking what they could on the last day. A once in a lifetime deal is one thing. Taking a smart trophy when he's the yearly meat source and the quality of the meat is largely the trophy is another.
