    Moose Mount

    The right taxidermist should be able to put that skull cap onto a replica euro and make it look pretty good. Or you could do the classic type of panel mount like Homer posted a link for. Assuming you have the cape for a shoulder mount, you could always sell it and likely make a bit of progress...

    Best Hunting rigs

    This rig has gotten me into so much trouble over the years, but has also managed to get me right back out of it every time.

    Moose Mount

    +1. Team Euro, all the way. But given that you skull capped him and are wanting a shoulder mount, find a taxi that would give you a head down, one side lower than the other as much as possible. Mimic the head swaying swing thing those swamp donkeys do

    .270 130 gr. Sciroccos - Good elk medicine?

    This right here embodies a lot of the problems with hunting attitudes/perspectives today. Seems like we used to teach folks that if a good, clean shot wasn't available you just accepted that the animal won that round. That's just a part of hunting. Why not just whiz a round into it's liver or...

    .270 130 gr. Sciroccos - Good elk medicine?

    How about just not shooting a bull "through the shoulder" ever? Slip it behind the shoulder and a bit lower and you'll put a hole in it's heart, even at +400 yards, making it die quickly with minimal meat loss. I have no idea why the last ~15 yrs or so it's gotten common to shoot game through...

    Grizzly Bear Introduction

    This is great stuff! Hope it happens, and I can't wait to see more grizzly reintroductions and expansions over their historical native range in the coming years.

    .270 130 gr. Sciroccos - Good elk medicine?

    .270 with 130gr copper is my favorite combo for pretty much everything from pronghorn to moose. It just plain works

    What Trips Your Trigger?

    Extras was a very close second, but excessive mass makes me blind to anything else. But it's gotta be dummy thicc to tip the scale that way. I'll take a small kicker over a few inches extra mass, but once it gets to be around 40" of mass game over.

    Deer are cool. Elk are cool. Lions are cool. Bears are cool (especially the scary grizzly ones). Wolves are cool. Bighorns are cool. Bison are f###### awesome.

    I'm just mad whenever anybody shoots anything other than a calf/fawn on an antlerless tag. Feckin amateurs

    Utah County Piebold Elk

    And a mature hunter I guess is also able to recognize whether the amount of stress suffered by the buck prior to release (even assuming it can be done safely) will not cause that animal to still run off and die in the next day or three? Please. Just because the animal gets up and wandered off in...

    Close calls, while big game hunting!

    I did a November registration goat hunt with my dad out of Seward in 2017. A nice big dump of snow hit the day before we started hunting. He passed on a smaller billy one of the days. We hiked all over on these little snow covered finger ridges, thinking nothing of it. I ended up drawing the...

    Yeah it's totally a mature hunter decision to leave a buck tangled in a fence so it can die a gruesome death struggling for a long time to get free.

    Poaching

    Maybe they should've been drinking some Lemonaide and the DWR would've apologized to them instead? The 11 bison or the moose has to be "minor" technicalities by valid tag holders I think. Maybe shooting from/across the road or vehicle, filling out the tag wrong, or possibly shooting a young...

    Don't forget to mention how he came to own that distillery...by receiving inspiration that the original owners of the distillery needed to move south to start a new settlement ASAP.

    Utah County Piebold Elk

    It may come as a shock to you, but not everybody shares your opinion as to what the purpose(s) of a cow hunt is. For many folks, any tag is just a fun time to get outside and try to kill something. The meat is just a bonus. And calf meat is extra delicious and way easier to pack out. I shoot...

    It's against my sincerely held religious and cultural beliefs for anybody but myself, my family, or my friends to ever kill any animal while hunting. I'm going to need all of you to stop doing so immediately to respect my beliefs.

    Congrats to the lucky hunter! What a cool animal. I would definitely be getting a full body tan or a shoulder mount if it had been me.

    If I could get a tag in May/June I'd drop calfs before they could ever take their first step. Love me some elk veal. Even better when it's elk veal pie!

    Another day, no grizzly fatalities

    Last summer driving with the family from DC to PA we watched a little bear get whacked by the car in the other lane. Little thing slid under my bumper, I backed up to be able to see it, and it went running off the road with its guts hanging out.
