Alaska DIY Moose - Judging

Getting prepped for my Sept. Alaska Moose (17B) hunt! Definitely looking forward to it. Getting the gear ready, studying maps, etc. One quick question - Any tips/tricks to field judging moose antler width? The only I've ever heard that a decent bull measures about 24" across at the mid-shoulders (widest part), so twice that plus a little bit and it's legal (I'm in a 50" unit).
Other than that, I'm just cutting back on the gear/food list to make the max weight.
Anybody else doing AK moose this year?

Hello ED,

I went on a DIY moose/caribou hunt in 03. I got a video from the AG&F that showed you how to field judge the moose for legal width and brow points.
Be carfull! Some friends killed a 46" in a 50" unit and it cost them 500.00. On my hunt my partner shot one that was 50 1/4.He looked huge,but was just barely legal.
It also showed how to properly field dress your moose to be legal.I think that in 17b you will have to leave the bones in quarters.
Have a great hunt! Whaletail

How di the hunt go? Did you see any caribou?
Thanks
