The Top 40 Biggest Moose Ever Taken

That is a pile of huge bulls!

I was fortunate to bag a nice bull this September... it green gross scored 221 7/8... I haven't had time to get it to a scorer for the official dry, net score yet... I'll get around to it one day.

 
When John Crouse and two friends flew into east-central Alaska, Crouse had made up his mind he would shoot just about any moose he saw. They were on a six-day hunt at the end of August and camped on a ridge when Crouse saw a glint of antler. That day there was the typical Alaska rain and fog, but there was enough visibility to spot this moose in his bed. Crouse waited for it to stand. When it did, the moose took two solid, well-placed shots from Crouse’s .270. That’s right, he killed a world’s record moose with a .270. It took the three men an hour to get it in a position just to be butchered. It then took them two full days to pack it back to camp. When the pilot came to pick it up, the rack wouldn’t fit anywhere in or outside the plane. And get this: Crouse suggested they split the skull to fit the antlers inside. The pilot wouldn’t hear of it and sent for a bigger plane.

Thanks for posting your bull again............I think he is a really great trophy! One day I hope to get one that big. Congrats again!
 
Being an avid moose hunter myself, really neat to see some of the "Big Boys" that have been taken...and very nice bull Hoyt.

Thanx for sharing...
 
Wow I'm impressed Hoyt, that's the best Canada I've ever seen and qualifies as a hell of a Yukon/Alaska........any moose over 220 is a monster. Sure hope you're getting him mounted, young bull too.........outstanding Hoyt.

This is my best ever moose, not as good as yours but 65" wide and right around 200"..........Posed with #1 son, James and #2 son, Michael (ya there's a 17 year spread between my boys, and no I don't want to talk about it)
