Possibly a new P & Y moose

[horseman2]

I received this from a friend and will share as it does appear current by the dates on the photos.

Darin Mack almost didn't hunt Alaska with his son this fall. Money was a little tight, says the 36-year-old technical advisor with Lancaster Archery in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. But my wife and I talked it over and decided it was now or maybe never. They chose now, and on September 23rd, with his son by his side, Mack arrowed what may be the new Pope and Young world-record Alaska-Yukon moose.

We've spent a lot of time trying to tally up a rough green score, and we've come up with 252 to 255, with a spread of 73 to 75 inches. But those are just guesses for now.

Beauty big moose, but why does everyone have to sit a country mile behind the animal for the photo's these days.

Oh crap, I feel the urge to cash in on my moose draw.

One thing for certain, he'll never need to try for a big moose again.

Lots `n lot's `n even more rubbery steaks for those boys to chew.

Because it makes the head/animal look sooooo much larger!

I think on this picture the antlers make the hunters look that much smaller and far away. lol Nice mooose.

How do you figure that? In the one pic he's holding the antler, and in the one with the two of them there you can clearly see they are sitting right up against the back edge of the animal...it just looks far away cause the fricken thing is HUGE

You could uses those pans and spikes as a toboggan!!!!!

 

[rishu_pepper]

That is HUGE!

And taken on my birthday too

 

[kbyman]

Please let me know if it is a P&Y World Record

 

[horseman2]

Would it look any bigger or smaller if he used it as a hammock?

I'm guessing you think 'giant camel spiders' and 'giant Texas rattlesnakes' are pretty kool too.

The size of the moose speaks for itself. Folks don't need to be sitting way back behind the animal to try and make it look even larger. Just takes away from the trophy, imho.
