I get jealous every time I see a complete moose (or elk for that matter) hanging to be butchered. All I remember is multiple trips and praying I would t have a heart attack getting them out. 😆
I was lucky enough to kill my Shiras in 2020 that not only went P&Y but went all time B&C as well and I think I would have shot your bull over mine if they were standing next to each other! Hell of great bull, congrats!
