Thanks everyone. The rest of the story is pretty simple. Spotted the bull at about 700 yards and knew that he was everything that I had dreamed of. Closed the distance to 546 yards and got set up with my rifle over the guides tripod and watched him as he bedded down. Waited for an hour and a half and finally decided to shoot him while he was bedded. Sent a round and he never moved. Doesnt get any better!

Wow - just a monster bull of a lifetime. It looks like a battle just to get the rack through the doors. Congrats 546 times!

congrats on a fine moose. I hope you make the best of the meat and get as much of it as you can to your freezer. Nothing, IMO, beats moose meat.

Not much enjoyment in a back country moose hunt after you pull the trigger! IMHO never had hired packers though!
Like what my bud said never going to be the guy responsible for all that work again! He said I will still help but they cant blame it on me. Any more I want a easy good eating bull or none at all!
Congrats great bull!

Huntr
Man, I'm SPEECHLESS. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - or something like that.
I didn't go back thru ALL this thread seeing it started 9-21-19, to see if I posted already.
I haven't seen a pic of ANY BIGGER Bull Moose than that.

Yes, awe! What a magnificent creature. Congrats many times over. You are probably still on cloud 9.
Just because I am wandering around doesn't mean I am lost.

Just finished adream hunt for moose in Alaska with Rogue Expeditions. Cant say enough about the outfit and my guide Joe and wrangler Joshua. Killed this dream bull with my custom lefty Model 70 in 7X57 built by Shaenrifles (thanks Shaen!) Using the Barnes 139gr LRX. Shot the bull in his bed and he never moved. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/150x100q90/921/rlhqar.jpg) ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/150x100q90/921/2wsE3a.jpg) ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/150x100q90/922/r22Yur.jpg) Awesome Job. I too killed my Alaska bull with Jeremy this year. Congratulations
