Had some good fortune bowhunting for Moose in the NWT of Canada last week. This was in an area where you are flown in to a remote base camp, then set off from there to a spike camp several miles out into the bush. There were 8 hunters in camp, 3 of them bowhunters. We were the first moose hunting group of the year, and this outfitter had over 6000 square miles of exclusive territory for us to hunt. We all saw a ton of moose, as they seemed to be out cruising most of the day in search of cows, but not yet truly in the peak of the rut. Saw several jaw-droppers that were quite a bit bigger than the one I took. But it was tough to get close enough for a bow shot, as it was very dry, and the moose were mostly hanging out in dense willow thickets. So tough to ease through that stuff without making a lot of noise. The moose however, in spite of their huge bodies, didn't seem to have any trouble slipping through it at all ;-)

Finally on the 3rd day of hunting got to within 40 yards of a decent bull and made the shot count. He only went about 75 yards.

These bulls in this area fall just within the eastern edge of the territory that is considered to be Alaska-Yukon moose. They definitely have the huge bodies that you expect for that species. I'd say we packed out roughly 450 lbs of boned-out meat by the time it was all said & done.

Great pic..... congrats on the kill!
Any Idea what it scores?
The mount we be great.

Doing a euro mount on this one. I did a shoulder mount on my Canada Moose from 2015, and learned that they take up a huge amount of wall space! Haven't put a tape to it yet, but will check it out once the horns arrive back from Canada.

Congrats on a great trip, and a great animal, Greg!
Man those are some big beasts... and has got to be a thrill to get that close to one in order to bowhunt them.
That's a lot of meat! That should last ya a while 👍

Very Nice and Congrats on a bruiser. h.h.

Now I get it Greg! Knew you already had a pretty nice Canada moose under your belt. Had me a bit confused why you booked a hunt for another?
Check another species on the list! Congrats again on a dandy bull!

Ha!...yes that wraps up the "Moose Slam" ;-)

Congrats!! I really enjoy reading of your hunting adventures. Thanks for sharing.

Greg, do you have an Elk as well?
Silly question, right? I'm sure you do!
That is the next big game animal I want to harvest!!

Yes indeed have been blessed to take a few. Actually hoping to burn 14 years worth of Colorado preference points next year to see about chasing them again. Feel free to hit me up sometime and I’ll be glad to share with you what I know about the different western state’s options.
