Sold to the greenies, hunting griz will stop soon.

Any nice moose in the Sandpoint area?

I predict there will be griz hunting in WY before it is over.

HA!!!...little do you know tangozula about Guy Anttila..at 67 years old he sold to Scott Mackenize of Sugar Lake Outfitters in BC...at this date they are hunting sheep on Atlin Mountain in BC...I have hunted with Guy Anttila since 1987...when did you hunt with him????I took 7 Grizzlies with Guy...

I live in Atlin.
Shot a few grizzly myself though maybe more than 1 man should have, and not guided. The southern area was indeed sold to the greenies, money was from Round River Conservation Studies NGO out of Salt Lake City. They have worked and funded efforts to shut down the Taku with the Taku River Tlingit Nation. Atlin Mountain is another former area of his.
Atlin has a very good moose population, though not Shiras.............now we're back on topic. I did see some monster moose years ago west of Calgary though and that was only 200 miles north of Montana.

How's the scouting gone so far Dog hunter?

If you haven't already, you might want to check out the video Alaska F&G has to judge if a moose is 50 inches or wider. You'll have to factor in that an Alaska moose has a wider head, longer ears, thicker body, but it might give you some ideas about how to judge the size of a rack.

Thanks guys. So far I have only seen 1 bull, which was maybe 30" wide (a guess). I'll find a good one eventually.

Thanks for all the advice. I didn't really use it though. The second I spotted this guy bedded I knew he was a shooter. He's 54.5 inches wide. I couldn't be any happier with him.

Nice bull!~

Awesome bull!

Yeah, I can see how you didnt need to look twice.

Looks like you had the right "packframe" to haul him out too

Nice work!

That's awesome.

Beauty! Congrats!!

Very nice bull! That is a no-brainer for sure. Glad to see you connected.

Congrats!

Someone doesn't look too happy about it....

Ahh, thats just Emma. Absolutely wonderful mule, but she is about to retire and become a lawn ornament. She's getting old.

Congrats on the bull DH! He sure is a big one! Assuming 45-70 in that Marlin?

Thanks guys

That's actually a 450. I was a little hesitant using the leverevolution rounds on such a big animal, but it worked great, breaking the on shoulder and putting him down instantly. I use them because they are incredibly accurate, not because they give extra range.

BTW, I had that scope cranked all the way up to 4X for that 80 yard shot.

Glad it worked out for ya. I'd say you got some meat for the winter!

I was thinking the same thing! Congrats on a great looking bull.

Well there goes my best set of sheds this year

Seriously though, that's a great unit, but that bull's beyond what a guy could expect. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if that's the biggest in the unit.
