I think it was a comment on the 4 brow tine rule making those almost non existant it seems unless they get really big and old.
Dang nice bull. Confirms what Carolyn and I thought we had in the bag on the 15th was very much so pushing 65.
But I'd be happy as heck when they'll let me shoot a spike fork.

Yes, it was a comment on the 3/4 brown tine rules.
Actually, this year was a banner year for brow tines... mine was 5x6, buddy shot a 3x4, another 4x4, another was 2x3. Of the 13 bulls our "group" shot they were more than 50% 4 brow tine bulls though all but two were over 50".

Problem is, bulls get shot as soon as they are deemed legal. It's been that way since as long as I've been hunting in this area. That said, I won't be one bit surprised if we see several 4 or 4+ brow time bulls in there next year.

Congratulations, looks like a huge one to me.
I am 65 years old and in vg shape. Have never hunted moose but seriously thinking about it in 2017. I better get it done soon or I'll be too old.

I think your tape had some sag!  Just a WAG from the pic angle. Nice bull and congrats!

In their third year a bull usually has all the brow tines he ever will have... minor points may come up later, but not usually.

in our area there used to be a number of bulls with 4 brow tines. THat was over 10 years ago.
Now its rare to see a bull with 4. Unless he is over 50 really easily.
