Which one do you shoot?

[BIGHUNTERFISH]

You love to eat moose meat and have drawn an leh for any bull in a good area,you would be happy to shoot any size bull .You walk into a cutblock and there are two bulls side by side a young 3 x3 and an old bull with a 40 inch plus rack ,big but not trophy size.So which one do you drop?

[krazy]

no contest - the 3x3 goes down.

[Kody94]

Early season (Aug/early Sept)...the big one. More meat.

Near the rut (before, during or after)....probably the small one.

[Kevin21]

I wish I would have to make that choice all i ever seem to see is what i cannot shoot :(

[mainland hunter]

how big is the cape on the 40"?

[goatdancer]

Depends how far it is from the road. Us old guys can't drag a big animal anymore.

[hunter1947]

It would be the 3x3 that would drop ,yum ,yums.

[NaStY]

If the young on was a 2x3 and it was immy season, that's the one i would shoot. Otherwise the 40" gets my bullet.

The more the meat, the marrieder i am. :biggrin:

OK, i turn the corner on the trail, low and behold there's 2 moose! Dam the one on the low side looks good! 3 yrs old, shiny black coat, you can tell he really looks after him self, eats healthy and stays regular without the aid of drugs! He's 200 yrds down the hill, eating tender leaves and drinking from the clear running brook beside him! I bino the larger, drug addicted looking one on the 8 ft high bank right beside the trail, i notice that his coat has the odd bald spot, he has cold sore's that just don't seem to go away and he's licking the bark on the tree's cuz he only has 2 teeth and they don't line up! I can have this Mick Jagger look alike in my quad trailer in a heart beat! The Arnold Swartzinhagger one is going to take 6 good men and a strong boy about a full day to get his well formed desiginer ass up the goddam steep bank! My wife has a canner, i have a smoker and our butcher has a big grinder, sorry Mick, you just sang "I can't get no Satisfaction" for the last time!!! Bang!!!

tough call, depends on location, shot available, rack appeal, time of day, if all are good, the big guy.

[todbartell]

big one, ive shot four moose and the biggest one was like a 3 yr old 5x4

[steelhead68]

The one closest to the road. :eek:

[Benthos]

The one closest to the road. :eek:


that was a great quote

[mark]

The big one! Makes for better pics on HBC! :smile:

[moosinaround]

3x3 for sure!!

[jml11]

Depends on the time of the year, pre-rut it's the big guy and rest of the season it's the little guy. Shot a 44" inch bull mid sept two years ago which tasted mighty fine, better than the elk I got that year. Also had a late season 40" bull once that was tough as nails.

Ah who am i kidding, I'd probably shoot the bigger one every time!

[Beer]

Both of them.

[kloosterboer]

Right now sitting in a computer chair i would pick the small one but if i was actually in the bush i would probably go for the big guy.
