From around the world we heard the biggest moose come from Alaska.
Lets see those big guys ...please post spread in inches.

This should be easy to beat....my 2015 moose 47 inch spread.

Here are the antlers from my 1999 moose. Spread was 55 inches; 4 brow tines on each side. My brothers was 58". The moose were together and so were we, so we shot both of them at the same time. Some of you know enough not to do that.

I had stories about the hunt in Fur-Fish-Game (February 2001) and Outdoor Life (Summer 2003).

Steve.

Big moose?



I don't know about the antlers spread - not sure anyone cared at that particular time- but my pard is 6'3", 280 pounds relative to the moose.



I don't honestly keep track of the antler width after it's been reported to F&G. About the only part I remember, data-wise, are the calories expended one way or another in getting the critter from the tracks he's standing in, to the freezer/table.

So Mark, are you ahead on the calorie graph yet?

Big bodied guy. High 50s, 58 I think.

Partner's. 67" if I remember correctly. He had more that a half dozen over 60" before he was killed in a car wreck.

Right at 60 I think. Better looking picture without me in it. Grin.

Somewhere around 58.....shot by yours truly.

A good lookin 45 incher taken over by Chicken.

Unfortunately, yes. I'm quite sure the credit lies elsewhere than in the eating of the venison however.

The moose have, so far, always lost. I can see the handwriting on the wall though. Karma is unarguably a five-letter word. However, rather than a "b", I think it may start with an "m".

canoe beam is 36"

Young friend's first bull (last year.) 72" !

He will have a heck of a time topping this one...

Wow!

Yep,,that's a dandy!!!

I've been part of 200 moose or so and haven't had my hands on a 70"er yet!!

This guy was 69 1/2",,,,

Bearhuntr- that moose is nothing short of phenomenal. I'd not care if I ever shot another!

Rat - You're still my hero of the North! 70" is sure as hell guard to come by.

Hoholitna and Stoney Rivers area. 61".

No pics of that 80 something across from ANC last fall?? I know it came off a flight service I can't remember the name of at the moment...

I"ve never seen anything over mid 60s.

Never shot one over just over 50 yet either. That day will come though.

They sure ain't small body thats for sure.

Close enough...stretch the tape.😜

Those kind are often best left for those who either lack the necessary judgement to know better, or are in the company of paid 'help'.

um, shrink the tape. LOL.

I'd like to lack that knowledge just once.. but you know what I mean. LOL

Some of the best trophies a guy will ever have are the ones that never get dusty.....and hang only on the walls of memory. Granted, they are easier to take when it was you who walked away.

This young man is the shortest of three brothers-he is only 6'3". The other help were brothers J. at 6'5" and A. at 6'8". These fellas can pack anything! It's really, really in their blood to do so...

These dudes are actually among my best trophies. They're really good packers too....one fork-full after another!

My wife is quite the moose hunter too!!

52" Yakutat - Back in the Day. I'd love to acquire a similar set, they're long gone... As the saying goes: if I only knew then what I know now.

Friends and I did this in 2 days once. We refer to it as the "P90moose workout".

Might not be too bad if it was a float hunt.........maybe.

Damn those moose are BIG!

This fellow was right behind the house on opening day,he's ancient here, in his prime he was in the mid 70's for 2 or 3 years. We tried eating his tenderloins and then ground every bit of him into burger,hotdogs, and saucauge.

That's one of those 7-Up moose...."Fresh and clean, no velveteen, never had it....." Wait, I think I'm getting things mixed up. Well, an early season/August moose anyway. Those big ones are so tasty (fat and sweet) right before the rut starts.



I've always liked those gnarly older bulls' antlers the best. The really wide ones are rarely near as interesting IMO. (But I really like 'em when they're younger: not quite so difficult to pack around, and less work grinding! )

58"er from this year.

beautiful rack..love all them points. Congrats

70" on the nose


55"


58"

Nice pictures,,I really like the type of country in the bottom pic!!

The "kid" is 72" now.



This one beats "him" by a couple. (When in doubt, always use a M788. ....with a 300 Win Mag for back-up. )
