Big Moose on Campus
November 5, 2004
Yes, this gigantic bull moose IS as big as he looks. Eric Arnette was fortunate enough to bag this bull on Sept. 5th in the Kilbuck Mountains (400 miles west of Anchorage). First reports on this monster are that he is 75 inches wide, has 36 scoreable points, and could challenge the World's Record at more than 260 B&C! We'll make sure and keep you posted. Stay tuned!

Eric is one of the newest B&C Lifetime Associates (#308). Congratulations, Eric, on such a fine trophy!

Be about all I could do to lift that rack!

Great animal - a trophy anyone would desire. :D

On this website you'll also see an image of a lady with a huge mule deer buck shot in the Owl Creek Mountains of central Wyoming. The lady is Indian and she shot the deer on the Wind River Reservation. They do not allow whites to hunt unless one is married to a tribal member. This lady's husband is white, and together they own a taxidermy on the res. I've seen other photos of her with huge animals, so apparently she hunts and he accompanies her. Obviously, the arrangement works for them.

I kind of have to admire the tribal leaders for resisting the temptation to commercialize their great hunting opportunities and conserve them for their people.

I was waiting for Boone and Crocket to endorse this so I didn't make a jackass of myself by posting a digitally enhanced trophy. This is the stuff dreams are made out of. :shock:

UPDATE: Eric's great Alaska-Yukon moose has been officially scored at 236 B&C. Should the moose be accepted at that score upon review, it would stand at 118th on the all-time list. Greatest spread was 74 inches, with 12 points on each antler (not counting a total of four abnormal points.) Definitely a fantastic trophy!

While it didn't score as high as was first reported, it's still nothing to sneeze at. 118th largest moose ever taken is still one big moose!
