 I like it! Congratulations

Nice bull a ture trophy. I love moose meat, just need to draw a tag.

you did good man,every kill is a trophy to me.

Mr. Taylor,
Spike or fork horn is the only thing I will shoot anymore.  Old age, battlefield wounds and common sense prevent otherwise.  I just can't handle a larger animal by myself.  Further more, will only shoot one in a place that will enable me to get our Alaskan Mule right up alongside it, after it is down.
It does not lessen the quality of the hunt in any way (for us) and they sure do taste good!
Congrats on a great Moose!
Best Wishes

I think it's great.  Can't eat the horns.  I think I would take any moose I got the chance at with a trad bow, especially if I could hunt every year or quite often, and hope that some day I might get that large set of antlers.  Congratulations!!

That's the best size moose for eating.  Both I've shot in Alaska were about that size and made great table fare.

Meats good and I dont have enough room to hang a moose head over my mantle. Hes real nice, congratulations.

I'd rather be hunting moose for the primary purpose of putting up meat than measuring rack size. It would have a greater significance to me.

[Tom Leemans]

I feel hungry.

Izzy...time for a new mantle 8-)

All you guys with the "can't eat the antlers" remarks are full of moose poopie. If a tender cow is standing there and a 60" bull, conservation issues aside, are you telling me you'd shoot the cow????

 

[Ken Taylor]

Heck...even I'd shoot the 60 inch BULL!

I've lived in moose country my entire life and although about forty five years ago we used to occasionally see a 60" moose (dead)... and I am sure that one still exists somewhere around here, I haven't run into him yet.

Hmmm...maybe I'll try to get him next year. Let's see now...with him I could make hamburger, stew, minute steak (tenderized), spaghetti sauce, jerky, sausage, marinaded roasts and casseroles...I could live with that until the next moose season and then hunt for tender steaks. LOL

Plenty of time to dream about next year's antlers........just think of this:



 

[BFinegan]

I'm shooting the 60" bull all day every day. However, I'd rather be living in moose country looking forward to hunting them every fall regardless of size.

[WindWalker-AK]

Mr. Biggie Hoffman,
Yes sir, without hesitation I would shoot the cow Moose.
Best Wishes

If it was legal up here, I would sure take a cow... it seem that we see way more cows during hunting season anyway lol... and 60" bull there is plenty of them up here...

Meat for the pot...... very nice!
