So, I just got back to CT from my Yukon moose hunt. It was a great experience and was better than I could have possibly imagined. It was a true adventure. I got a great 57-inch bull that they estimated at 1,600 pounds and 7 1/2 years old. His rack is awesome and I could not be happier. He will be a great European mount. Shot him at 240 yards. :angel: :D

I started traveling back home Thursday at 3:00 pm and did not get back to my house in CT until 2:00 pm yesterday (Friday) so it was a long trip and I am beat. In a few days when I am rested up I can post details about the hunt.

I just sent some pics of my bull to Don and I am hoping he can post them to the thread for me😊

P.S, getting through the Vancouver airport and dealing with Air Canada is somewhat of a horror show! Nuff said!

My experience with Air Canada is that although they are not nasty, they aren't warm and fuzzy with hunters. They tried to charge us for a rifle case even though it was #2 of a 2 luggage allowance. West Jet has always been far more friendly to us.
Don, get rid of that blue tarp and the picture will be just as nice as the mount! :thumbup:

Impressive!

Isn't it so humbling to walk up to one when it's on the ground? Congrats

Congratulations. You beat the current odds of air travel, and the challenge of locating a brute like that one, and shooting it.

Sixteen hundred pounds is a lot of moose. I imagine you’d get maybe six hundred pounds of boned out meat.

How the heck did you stuff the horns and all that meat into your suitcase?
