You've got to admit that that's how men get stupid.

Yup, little head does the thinking, disaster soon follows
No green score yet but the fellow who is mounting the rack is a Boone & Crockett measurer and i think Pope and Young uses the same system . There may be a score but i haven't talk to brother in days . I think he said 49 inch inside spread . This is brothers 9th moose with a bow but this one is the biggest . The other bulls just had paddles and slightly larger that he never kept .
Several times he has arrowed a bull to have it run off and then call it right back for another dose of medicine . Rutting bulls are thinking of only one thing .
About 4 years ago he set up in a large clearing on the edge of a swamp . In the clearing was a single , large diameter , old tree that was broken off about 15 feet high . He started calling and instantly a small bull charged from the swamp to the tree . The bull ran brother around the tree at least 3 times and then stopped to look at him . Brother stepped back , leaned out and put the arrow in the small bull at 5 yards . The shot was good but the moose took off for the treeline which was about 100 yards away in the closest direction . It dropped 25 yards before the treeline . As it was running out , brother was trying to call it back , but the small bull was having none of it .
On another occasion both brothers were hunting together with one brother shooting video as the other brother called . A moose was arrowed in the chest 3 times , ran off 3 times and was called back 3 times when the 4th arrow took him down , and it's all on video .
For the guys thinking about getting into bow hunting , my brothers are fanatics . The bows are tuned in June and they shoot at least one evening per week . By July they are shooting 3 evenings per week and by August and into September they are shooting 5 evenings per week . They shoot in the clothing they hunt in and shoot from the ground and from the roof of the garage . They shoot kneeling and standing . They shoot from point blank to 60 yards .
By the time hunting season begins eack of them can put 5 arrows out of 5 into the Ace of Spades at 50 yards and 5 for 5 into a 6 inch circle at 60 . The last month of practise is broadheads only . They scout on weekends and both book a week off just to scout before the season opens . Both shoot thier bows at 80 pounds .
Between them they've taken about 20 moose , 20 whitetails and a few bear with thier bows but moose , by far is the most important . While there is an element of luck in any hunt , these guys work very , very hard at it .
I just talked to the other brothers wife this morning and she tells that he has dropped a large bull up by Souix Lookout . No other details or pics yet .

congrats on a fine bull, im hoping to find something like that on monday morning.
Ian Robinson of Thunder Bay is an official , certified scorer for Boone and Crokett and Pope and Young . He has brother rack and it green scores 191 . I think he told brother that it takes 2 months from the time of the kill to record a certified score . In any case he did tell brother that it's the largest one he's ever scored that was taken with a bow in northwestern Ontario . Aparently the final score , due to shrinkage should be 189 to 190 .
That is a very nice bull, and with a bow no less! WOW!
Just curious, do you count the lengths of the points in the score too?
We were told that you don't.
The rack on mine was 58 4/8 wide but he still "just" made the high 170's gross.
The pans (length and width) must be huge on that sucker!
Way to go!
