BC Interior~spotted bull moose

[CanuckShooter]

I know you'll find this picture of a rare spotted bull moose entertaining....would you cut your tag on this fellow or would you let him walk??

Here is his momma

[BromBones]

I'd give him a few more spots from my Marlin.:twisted:

Kidding. I believe the Regs still request us not to shoot them. Have always had white moose hanging around my place, especially in the winter, they like to hang out down in the poplars. There's a white cow with twin calves around this year, one white, and one white with brown legs.

[gerrygoat]

Cool pics, thanks

[Telkwa Hunter]

I like dark meat better.....let him walk.

[pescado]

Like to see one. I'd let him go.

[OutWest]

Had these sent to me in an email a couple years ago.

[Steeleco]

So long as he fits the antler regulation he's dinner. If people, especially us hunters, start giving them some special regard that's only due to a genetic screw up. The sooner you'll be reading regs about "spirit moose"

[Caveman]

I assume you're just asking the question Hypothetically as these pictures have been floating around the internet for years and are not from the interior of BC. As for the question, I think I'd have to let them walk as the flack that would come from the taking of such a rare specimen would be too much for me. Now if he had a huge rack, the dilemma would be greater

Oops!!
How embarrassing!

:oops::oops::oops:

[deer nut]

Are there any legal reasons not to shoot a "spirit moose"? I don't know so wouldn't shoot....besides, I can't afford the taxidermy it would merit!

[srupp]

hmmm not shoot...just the coolness factor..

(anybody say cool anymore???)

You guys are starting to sound like closet "tree huggers" Now before you roast my butt, THAT'S SARCASM!!!! But on a serious note, they really only are the product of a genetic twist of fate, the more they are free to bread and lock in the gene, the more we're going to see them. It's the same scenario we've lived with the white phase bears on some rock on the coast. Yet if they were a distinct breed, we wouldn't be finding them in various pockets of BC.

There seems to be 'kermode' bears all over the province:roll:

[Rubberfist]

I can't believe you guys are even debating shooting these.
Another example of short-sightedness and selfish thinking.
May as well just send the anti's a bunch of money, and your guns.
Forget about the fact that this is a rare symbol of nature's beauty.
Understand that just because you can, doesn't mean you should shoot.
Live and let live I say.
Leave these animals for others to enjoy.
Otherwise, it may be too late to save them as they might be all gone.
Forgetfulness is what pushed bison, grizzlies and fur-bearing snakes to extinction.
Shame on the self-centered, trigger happy jerks wanting to shoot these.
How do you expect the hunting community will get respect with that outlook?
I for one, would let them walk.
To those who would pull the trigger...I say shame on you.

if thats the case, why did you shoot that ram in your avatar? I cant believe you would shoot such a majestic creature! Shame on you!!! You assaulted his home then lay in wait for the perfect shot...you are an evil man!!!

Save them from what Fubberfist? They are a "GENETIC MISTAKE" 50 years from now there may be another one show up only because the parent's have that same gene and the timing was right. How many are born to brown normally looking mothers and abandoned because they "don't look right?" Animals don't appear to have a conscience like us do good-er humans, and mother nature can be a real bitch some days!!!

[snowhunter]

You obviously do not know to much about moose. This is their normal winter fur :)

If it met the reg requirements it would be shot. Why would you hunt at all if you had views like that? Should non typical deer not be shot then?

damn you NoahDawg...damn you...

For everyone else who thinks that I'm nurturing my inner earth-child, I've been too busy to go icefishing and had that itch that only a well-baited hook could scratch.

Now that is funny! I take it you believe everyone could enjoy this via photos of it hanging in your garage? HAHA

Now, I hope the "I shot my first elk last night for my First Nations buddy" thread was also a joke?

[Moose63]

First of all I would wipe my scope again to make sure I wasn't seeing things. But...

I'd save them just for the tourist factor. Eco-tourism is huge for this province.

Also, think of the potential repercussions from CS's "Spiritual" thread. It may be bad karma to take it.

[Steeleco]

Damn I should ban him LOL Good move RB, I even read the snake comment but it didn't even register.

[deer nut]

http://i786.photobucket.com/albums/yy143/deernut2009/th_albinoDEMUbuck.jpg How about this one? No idea when/ where this pic was taken...but I think I'd drop him!!!

[Steeleco]

I know I'd drop him, then I'd have to work some OT to pay Ray to mount it!! FWIW, mounted moose are Fugly, but the ones in the OP's picture would make for a cool wall rug.

[jeff]

about 5 years ago a buddy of mine took an albino moose up in reg 6 .it was a little bull ,anyways they got checked by the co on there way outa the bush ..well the co wasnt pleased and gave him a verbal spanking ..non the less ,nothing the co could do ..

THAT sir is a piece of awesome. I have seen enough piebald and white deer now, that I want to find out if the whole thing will taste like chicken breast or not.

[Phreddy]

Well put Rubberfist.

[Phreddy]

I go by the philosophy that there are eating critters and admiring critters. I'd let 'em walk. If someone else chooses otherwise that's their business. I can't and don't think I'd want to make other decisions for them.

[300H&H]

I guy who I have worked with and who hunts showed me some pictures last year of a white cow moose a 2 white calves.
He took the pictures up ________ ____. Or not far from there in reg 8-__.
I hope you understand why the blank spaces.
If you don't, well....he asked me not to tell.

[91Jason91]

prob let it walk cause I would be shooting it with my camra

[hunter1947]

This moose would walk if it was in an open season in the region I was hunting for moose I myself think its beautiful to see something like this that is not common to see..

[Gateholio]

Canuckshooter, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I thought my comments were self evdent, but I suppose you didn't understand.

You embarrass yourself when you put up these threads. You see something in an email or on the internet and immediately think it's true or there is some big controversy. I dont care if you want to mock my profession. Actually, it's funny when you try to do so, becuase you embarrass yourself there, too.

You post these threads and want to start some little tempest in a teapot, like some teenage girl.

You put up an avatar showing your bare ass.

Your title says "twice banned"

You are a drama queen. Everything you do is to try to provoke some reaction, and when you don't get the reaction you want, or your thread gets locked, you pout like a little girl, and try to start more shit.

That's what I am commenting on.

You wanted to know. ;)

Thanks, I didn't know you were a customer....But I've been semi retired for the last 18 months. Haven't been in a kitchen since July 2010. It's been great, it's nice to have had the means and ability to be able to "retire" for over a year, but I'm going to go back to work soon, probably not in Whistler. All good things come to an end! :)

[CanuckShooter]

That wasnt my bare ass!! Didn't you see how white it was? It was my buddies trail cam picture, better than the guy stealing it.

Btw my understanding was those pictures were from around Fort St John.

So you don't mind when I call you a burger flipper?

[Gateholio]

Why would I mind? I've been paid very, very well to do my job, and sometimes flipping burgers is part of that.

x2, or x4 what ever this was an excellant post, and cs you turned it into s**t show, if you look for a scrap start your own with gatehouse. Like CS versus Gatehouse. Enough said about you, Answering the the original question, nope I wouldn't shoot, just because I would be amazed and probably forget I even had a rifle. Gatehouse, thanks for letting me vent on you the other day. Nap
