Big bull moose

AntlerKing · Sep 24, 2009

After a killer 8 mile hike up muzzy hunting I ran into this bull. He was so big that when he hit a smaller bull he pummeled the smaller bull down the ridge, actually rolling him over. The dust in the last photo is what was left after the little bull got steam rolled.

Cool pictures AK! That is a toad of a bull!
A long time ago I watched two Wyoming bulls go at it while I was deer hunting. They stirred up so much dust it looked like a rodeo was going on below me. Thanks for sharing!

Yup, that thing looks like a pig!

He's a Utah bull, he kind of makes my 2007 bull that I shot look small.

I would tag that bull with my Ogden River Moose tag. Great looking bull!

My cousin has the moose tag for this area, if he drops the hammer on him this weekend I'll post some photos. I think this bull will make my 43" bull look small.

He sure looks like a pig. I love how his antlers sweep up and back. Good luck to your cousin-he's fortunate to have you scouting for him!

Did your cousin get him?

AntlerKing · Oct 5, 2009

Nope...they found his tracks all over the mountain/hollow, but not him. I'm not sure when they are going back up, lots of rain and snow the past two days.

Did you get a good look at his fronts? Very nice moose I have looked at this picture a 100 times.

Best of luck to him on finding that bull. It is an amazing animal. I remember when I first saw the 53"er I shot. It took me about 8 seconds to look at him and head out to try and kill him. That bull in your photo is a stud!

The problem I found is these giant bulls travel a lot this time of year. We have trail cam photos of the bull I shot a couple miles from where the photos were taken. I also watched a bull all summer, then found him 7 air miles and 2 10,000' ridges away in late Sept. Then found him again within 1/2 mile from where I had first seen him. That is a long ways to travel.
