Just breaking.

Green score at World Record numbers even with approx. 6-8" broken off!

More to follow...

WOW. All I can say.

Bet that moose had "BACK" problems! Damn!

Jeezus! Moose-a-souris more like it!

Holy moose chit...

Shockey stock going up...

Nah, th' ol' geezer is only 3 foot 7.

Un-real!

Wow

Just had a new world record last year from Yukon. This one has a nicer look to it though. Cabellas paid 100 k for it. They need to get their check book out again.
Congrats to the hunter and thanks for sharing.

Salm,

Seen that as well. Heard what the spread is? Regardless, it's a hog!

That's one crazy looking old bull. It's big but won't make world record as it doesn't have enough point to really make it score. It has good width, long palms and wide palms but it doesn't have a lot of points.

Huh, only have the record books to go by, but the 11th edition shows no moose until you get to #49 with as many points.

Points and spread are two things to be ignored until you get into the extreme range when scoring moose. Palm length and width are virtually everything.

Heck of a nice bull.
It appears that this was a good season in AK and YT for antler growth. I know I saw several very big bulls and quite a few going through on vehicles.

I'm thinking there should be an "atypical' category for many of the big antlered bulls. So many of them get big weird and/or assymetrical. I have long contended that the best bulls are generally no bigger than the mid-60s. Nice balance and symmetry, good palms, nice/even brows, good points without taking away from the palms. (I still like to see the big ones anyway.)

Took Boone & Crockett like forever to decide to have a non-typical for elk.........

"Scoring" should be done by displacement of liquid. Give the critter credit for every ounce of antler/horn it grew.

I detest "book" and "scores". You and Klick make a lot of sense, however.

Water displacement would be absolutely not arbitrary, not like all this other made-up chit..... Although deciding a water standard would be just as arbitrary...

Either it was a good hunt or not. A trophy" is - or should be- in the eye of the participant.

In said spirit, I'd pass that moose up if I happened to see him along the road, or with a smaller bull, in the interest of promoting dominant breeding stock....

Would I lie?

Most moose hunters are meat hunters and many I know would take a small bull if it was hanging with that stud.

John Crouses Ak/Yukon bull killed in the 40 Mile river country in 94 still holds the top spot for Ak-Yukon moose. The above moose however may take that spot!



KEY MEASUREMENTS:
Greatest spread: 65 1/8
Length of palm: Right 54 4/8 - Left 53 6/8
Width of palm: Right 22 2/8 - Left 21 4/8
Circ. of beam at smallest place: Right 8 - Left 8
Number of points: Right 19 - Left 15

I believe both these moose were killed within 100 miles of each other, though on both sides of the border.

Actually the current world record moose was killed in the Yukon lastyear.

I pulled that info straight off the B&C website, no mention of a new record bull from last year.

Search world record Alaska Yukon moose. The hunters name is Heinz Naef

Score was 263 5/8. Killed with a 303 British with open sights

And a meat hunter.

I read that story, pretty cool for a regular joe hunter to score on a monster bull like he did looking for a meat moose. Just look at the way his main beams sag from the weight of those paddles.

The moose was supposed to be scored in Jan of this year and if they scored it, it must have shrank enough to not topple Crouses bull.

Either way, the one in this thread is a gnarly old monster that should score quite well barring no serious deductions.

yes Heinz shoot the smaller of the herd that was on the bank of the river ... lol

i think there is a lot of guys that went on the river where the big one was shot last year ... good for less pressure on other side of yukon.

like in Alaska there is a lot moose that we are not aware of ...

. If that was the smallest one in the herd I will take the medium size one of the herd !!
