That is a beautiful bull, congrats Dog Hunter!

Dog Hunter is a Mule and Decker man. Not too many of those deckers do you see in WY.
Nice moose. Sure wish I would have one to pack out my moose in Alaska. I found out what humpin moose meat was all about. Lots of real nice Moose pics. Thanks for posting. Gets the blood going for getting out and hunting.

Bump

I finally got around to dinking with this non-dink. He is wider than the world record (according to B&C website) and the 2nd widest ever in Montana (according to some book I found at sportsmans whorehouse).

With his absurd deductions and single brows he unofficially nets 160. If his right antler matched his left he would be an honest 60 inchs wide. His massive brows measure 18" and 19" long and are 7" in diameter, but since they are singles, they don't count for squat. I'm not really concerned though. It's not like I wouldn't have shot him if I knew he had single brows.

thanks for looking

Try to find one like this winter kill my friend found!

53" wide, the 4 brow tines ranged from 16 to 18 inches long coming off the palmations.

Congrats Dog Hunter! That is a beautiful bull you got!

Thanks, Phasmid. It was quite the adventure getting him out let me tell ya.

By the way, I have just been transferred to the arsehole of your fine state (ie Rock Springs). Totally different world than the Bitterroot.

Wow! Nice Shiras for sure. Who did the euro mount? Looks great

To me, moose are more of a "certain look" kind of animal. Scoring them is really weird and takes a sharp eye to pick up subtle scoring points. I go for the "certain look" in moose and I like mass. My last one had one 15" brown points on each side that looked like massive swords (just like yours). He had 4 long points on the back of each spoon. He doesn't score for squat, but wowed me. I looked at him for a long time and came back and checked on him several times. I just couldn't get him out of my head. He was just cool looking and measured a tad under 40 inches wide. I admire him every day. Sure there are wider bulls with more points, but he had that different cool factor look I love. He aged out at 10.5 years old and was on the way down hill.

Like others said, you KNEW he was a shooter as soon as you saw him. Heck of a bull!! Flinch

Hey guys, thanks for the advise but this thread is a year old and I am just giving an update to the bull I killed.

What did you shoot him with? Bullet, caliber, speed and hit location Flinch

I had to laugh about the last part of that post. Once when there for some sagegrouse meetings, the guy I was with commented upon driving into town that it was one of the ugliest places he'd seen! That said, I'm hoping to pull an elk tag in the, hopefully, not too distant future for near there...

Passport, Mother Nature did the european mount on the entire skeleton of that bull. If we were more ambitious we should have gathered up all the bones and wired them together for an interesting yard ornament.

Dog Hunter - My condolences on the move to Rock Springs;) However, there is some really good hunting and fishing nearby and I love the Wyoming Range and Red Desert. Lots of country for you to explore.

.450 Marlin, 325 gr Leveroution load, unknown velocity but guessing around 2000 FPS, point of left shoulder shot directly broadside. He needed a finisher via 41 Mag, but went straight down after the first shot from the marlin.

Game Trails taxidermy out of Florence MT did the work.
