potential new #7 world record moose

[benamen]

Jim Rae was guiding moose this fall for a client from Berlin who paid twenty thousand dollars for the expedition with South Nahanni Outfitters in the North West Territories and he got his money's worth. The hunter bagged a massive bull moose, probably about seven years old. For hunters, it is 258' Boone & Crockett points. What does that mean? It is thought to be the seventh largest in the world!

Hope you do not mind me adding to your post a bit - but that is just to nice not to see right away.... MAN!

He likely used a 6.5X55 or a 8X57. The Europeans think we are so "over-gunned" when we hunt big game.

Oppps....I forgot about the 9.3 X 72 for the bears.

Number 1 is only 6 inches bigger! That is a huge animal.

Fantastic moose! Looks huge

However, I can't really tell how big it is. The rack is very close to the camera and the man is sitting behind his rump. I can understand people taking a picture like this with a decent animal, but a huge one doesn't need any help and it would give us a frame of reference as to how big it really is.

Any other pictures from a different perspective.

It always amazed me how them moose can run through a thicket that I can hardly get through, with that head gear and never seem to get hung up.

I hunted Canada twice for moose. They were the most exciting hunts of my life. Beautiful country, wonderful people to meet (them Canadians are really nice people), just a real nice place to go. And the northern pike fishing was excellent too.

How in the heck to you score a moose? Drop the antlers in your swimming pool and measure the water displacement? :lol: But honestly, great trophy.
