WOW.....What a great story!!  Great storyteller as well.  I can't even imagine being 4 yards from that animal.  I would have been shaking like a leaf!  What a great experience.  Thank you for passing it on.

Selfbow and wood arrows, Alaska, and a big bull moose...love it! Great story. So at 4 yds were you worried about the bull hearing your heart beat? haha Thanks.

Well told, Walt....again!   Great pics too.  Like Doug, I can't wait to see them antlers in person.  Congrats again.

Nice bull and great story telling. I like how he has points all around the top of his palms. Congrats !

"Wonder if the coffee is still hot?"!!
Well, if you're going to wait, might as well finish breakfast!
So that's where the other part of that arrow went. Great story and animal. What a trip!

Been about 12 years since my last moose hunt myself.  This may be the fresh wind to reignite that spark!  Awesome storytelling Walt and great bull.

Great Job Walt!, Awesome story. I love the fact that you used your selfbow. So were ya'll hunting without a guide?  For some reason I thought that as nonresidents you had to have a guide in Alaska...
