How big is this guy?

[Win/64]

My Daughter sent me this picture of a Moose that passed in front of her as she was hiking through the Cape Breton High Lands last week said it was no more than 8-10 meters away. Anyone able to estimate weight and size?

I don't know how heavy it is, but If I had a tag and a gun the moose would on his back.

Wow, what a gorgeous and healthy Bull. Look at the brow tines! He looks as big rack wise as high 50" bull's I've seen/cleaned but he's got much nicer/fuller palm's.


You need to get over there and down that sucker!

Nice moose, in his prime. he likely isn't going ot get any bigger, so you may as well shoot!

Apparently there is some kind of Horticulture area behind him. He is on the outside of the fence.

The fence and the causeway is all that keeps Alberta from being overrun

If you were to legally hunt it, would a 12ga slug be a suitable?
