ABBs 2023 Bull Moose
 

After a long season with the bow, 16 bulls called in with no shot through bush.. 8 cows... 5 calfs... i called it quits and took out a rifle that had a lot of sentimental meaning to me when it is shouldered. First light came early and 5 bulls (making that 21 for the season) presented themselves all broadside from 150 to 210 yards in a 80 yard span across an old swamp. After letting the closest bull cross the island in case the ice wouldnt support my weight in a packout, the 300bee barked and the work began, with the Creator blessing the family meat supply once again for the winter.

That’s a mighty bull, Bigbore. Congrats! And thanks for posting!

Well you certainly got a huge break with the weather. November had a lot of nice days to go for a walk with a rifle. Congrats

Way to go, Mike!

Oh man I like seeing that! Outstanding

That's an awesome bull, Bigbore! Nicely done!

Well done. Great Bull.

Nice bull and congrats on the harvest.
Thanks for posting your hunt!!

Very nice, well done. Assume you hunted farm areas with number of moose you had sighted. Most guys this year had tag soup that hunted wilderness areas.

Big boy...congrats on that Gem.

Very nice bull for sure, well done.

Congrats ABB, nice bull.

Glory be to God! That's a beautiful animal and a wonderful harvest. I'm curious how much meat you end up with.

Cheers sir :shake2:

Wow. Must be quite the glory hole with all that action. Congrats!

Great stuff, Mike. Lot of grey in that beard since I saw you last.

Well done! (slow clap)...:)

All of it. ! Lol


Thanks for the kind words guys. He was alot of work this one. Had to call in friends with chain saws to romove that beaver felled log and stump on the other side so i could flip him around.



And yes beard is pretty grey at 46. Hereditary. Lol. Grandpa was silver at 33.

Congrats on the bull.

Bah. We call it "Dignified."

Makes us feel better about it. :D
