Shooter Shirahs?

I don't have a moose tag but I thought I'd post up these pics for any of you who do. This bull was in SW WY.

To me he looks like a young bull with great potential. Based on his body size I'd guess he is a 2 year old. He just doesn't look massive and muscular to me.

Good looking bull. Unless I knew of a better bull he's going down.

Looks like the one I killed in unit 25 last year. 3 1/2 year old. 39 inches. no monster but a nice bull.

LAST EDITED ON Jul-29-12 AT 09:53PM (MST)[p]I agree with the young and great potential comment. It is unfortunate that the quality of bulls has declined over the last decade because when I hunted SW Wyoming in 95, that bull wouldn't get a look until the last few days of the hunt.
A trophy is in the eye of the beholder, but it would be nice for that bull like that to put a few more years under his belt before he bites the dust. IMO

Hey LittleBighorn, I remember that day well. Then the pack out I also remember. You shot a very nice bull and sad to say I only hope when I draw that there will be one as big as the one in this picture. Wolves are eating way to much moose meat up there now!!!

He is likely a two year old with a ton of upside.
Pass on him unless you've put in your time and it's tag soup...my .02.

I would pass on him. I would guess his width closer to 30-35 inches. He does have great potential!

That's a nice young bull, but I don't think he's close to 40". This is one that my buddy shot in Idaho in 2007 and he was 38 and change.

I agree with you on a young bull, but with great genes!!!

So Ultra,
What is the verdict with your wife's tag? Go or no go?
I also remember that day way back when and your Herculian help in getting that bad boy out. He stares me down now every time I go in my family room! Fun memory!
