Rumor has it.....

[DW]

The moose state record was broken by an archer saturday. Anybody know anything?

Heard the same thing....58 inches wide supposed to be huge.... it will show its self soon

 

[tailchasers]

I suspect this will be a common trend over the next decade and these big suckers increase in numbers while also expanding their range. However I can't wait to see a pic if this holds true...

a guy from Montrose shot a giant potential state record we shall see I have a pic but cant post it without his permission. if he gives it to me ill post soon

 

[ForkWest]

58"!?! That's one a heck of a Shiras!

This one whent 49" somewhere in 67 Colorado.

Talked to a g&p biologist yesterday, said the one I'm referrin to taped 57&1/8". Couldn't confirm state record but said it was a helluva moose!

LAST EDITED ON Oct-02-15 AT 10:16AM (MST)[p]Would someone who has permission post the pic already (I've seen a pic of this possible moose but I don't have permission)? A state record contender is going to have to be one big moose.

Yes indeed....it'll have to beat this 185-incher arrowed by Tom Behunin in 2011.

I too would love to see the pic!

The guy doesn't want to post just yet but Looking at that 185" bull I don't think his will beat it but who knows I'm putting a tape on it this week!! I'll give you a rough score soon!!

the thing with moose scores though is tine length doesn't matter, just number of points. spread, palm width/length, number of points and mass below palms is all it is if I remember correctly.

You're correct on scoring. A 185" shiras is a monster. The current any weapon B&C moose record in CO is in excess of 195".

If the moose is really 58" wide, that's a big step in the right direction.

In any case, congrats to the hunter on a giant moose!

5point?

The bull picture was posted by "Ermine" on bowsite with the following comment:

"I got this picture from Tommy Clum. His uncle arrowed this with a longbow. I hope no one gets upset that I shared. But too cool of an specimen not to share. They are thinking its above the current world record!"

Here is the pic.

 

[JRABQ]

Wow!

 

[LoneWati]

Double WoW!!!!!!

 

[ColoradoOak]

And that bull was killed after you started this thread....

 

[DW]

Anybody got a link back to bowsite and that pic? 5point, same bull you were gonna tape?

 

[5point]

I put a tape on my buddys bull and it isn't even close to state record even though it is over 56Inches. After I saw the state record bull on here I Knew it wouldn't beat it. I asked if I could post it but he doesn't want it because he is doing an article. His bull scores around 167 which does make it all time for a bow.

 

[HiMtnHntr]

5point, did he shoot it with a recurve?

 

[5point]

compound up in estes park

 

[DW]

Anybody know where that bull sticksender put up was killed?

 

[LoneWati]

I could be way off base, but the pic looks a bit like the Zirkel wilderness from maybe Indepedence Mountain. Although it looks like it was driven there to take the photo as the hunter is all cleaned up and in good clothes with no visible meat in the back of the vehicle....Nice guess though!!!lol

 

[HiMtnHntr]

Thanks 5point. The one I referred to in an earlier post was killed with a recurve. Someone sent me a pic but I don't have permission to post. . .

The last bull posted looks like it could be North Park area.

 

[DW]

The drying period will come to an end soon then I suspect we'll all get a look. The bull I heard about wasn't killed in any of the areas mentioned so far. Gonna be interesting.

 

[tailchasers]

Awesome animal!!

[BUCKSPY]

I took pic in my driveway. It's the Gore Range. Bull killed in South Park. Bobby is all cleaned up because he took a shower. Day after bull was killed. Officially scored at 194 Net even. 56 1/4 wide when shot 55 1/2 when scored. Smokes the current world record. That should answer most of the questions

 

[DW]

Thanx for chimein in buckspy. Will we be readin about him in an upcoming publication? Love to hear more about him!

Awesome!!!

A 170 bull is no slouch. A 194 is just amazing. Both awesome bulls. Colorado grows em big. No predators and grade A forage helps...
