Randy, how is your season going so far?
Guess I should clarify my "piss ant" statement. First, in no manner am I unhappy with my bull. Fact is I am extremely pleased about it; my feet didn't hit the ground until returning to work almost two weeks later. It was a large bull, the meat processor said it was the most meat they had received on a moose this year. Dave and I split the meat, had all of it processed, and then shipped home as excess baggage. To put the size of my bull rack into whitetail perspective: My bull was equivalent to a large bodied 140-145 class deer, similar to what you shoot most years. Kevin and Bryan are more like the Wensel's and Mitten, they hold out for the equivalent of a 165+ class deer, and they are fairly consistent at taking moose at or near the B&C class ( Like me, I don't believe they enter critters in the books). There is an account of their hunt this year on the PBS web site. It if an excellent read for everyone. Anybody who is contemplating or thinks they might hunt moose sometime should make it a mandatory read. They have Gene's number one rule down (paraphrased) "to kill big bucks/bulls you have to hunt where they are".
