Monster Nipigon Moose
Tom successfully harvested this nice moose over in Nipigon this week. He contacted me about an opinion on how to score the moose’s expansive rack.
The antlers measured 67 3/4 inches across, with the measuring tape not being at 90 degrees. This created the conundrum for Tom. A ‘straight-across’ measurement had the rack spreading out at 65 1/2 inches. His moose has a created a media stir, in his area, and he is being visited by The Chronicle to get his story in print. Tom has this to say about his monster moose,
Tom's 2010 Nipigon Bull Moose
“I shot this moose Monday evening with a tikka lite 300 WSM at approximately 300 yards. I have been chasing him for a few days with my group of partners and finally called him in. I do not think he has what it takes to break any records but at any rate he is nice and going above the mantle.”
I appreciate you taking the time to share your photo with our blog visitors, Tom. Please let me know how your moose actually scores. It looks like you have some good people helping you now with the details.
The Boone and Crockett Club have a great online wizard to help hunters score their moose antlers. You can check it out here.
Harry- Thanks for your comments! It is good to hear you are still making the most of your hunting opportunities! Keep it up. Please let me know how the rest of the hunting season goes for you.
Con crads on the Moose .
I had a bull tag once (Section 49) , then there was an illness in the family so I couldn’t go. (Hunting Section 41 now)
Now, with Arthrtis, I am limited to an ATV – very short walks and always need to have someone with me. I can hunt about four hours a day, then need to rest up for at least two . I see Bulls and cows but never a calf with her . Oh Well, At 61 at least I still get to go.
