It a tie for the biggest moose!



For years now, ever since Steve has started to hunt he has always been on the look out for the moose of his dreams...60 inches or more. We are not trophy hunters by no means as what we shot we eat all of it. But this year Steve got his biggest moose to date.

Him and his friend last Tuesday went out really early in the morning and decided that they were going to go far back into the bush about 30km back. They were back to the house that night by 8pm with big grins on there face. "Did you get one"? Steve says, "Oh we sure did"...walking back outta the house with a big smile on his face. He is always happy to get a moose as it is meat the feeds not only our family for the winter but his parents and some other friends too! So out side we went and wow...I must say it is the biggest moose I have ever seen. Both him and his friend Adam were pumped to be telling us the story of how they got it, where and most of all how BIG IT WAS. At first we measured and thought it was 57 inches. His dad just sorta chuckled and said " You have yet to beat your old man" , Bills moose is 58". Steve was a wee bit disappointed. But an hour later Bill came back into the house and said well it is a tie...your moose if 58 inches. Steve just said sweet. But I knew by just looking at him he was very proud to have a moose the same size as his dad. He was proud. But Steve is not the kinda a guy to show much emotion for anything...haha! But yes...he got his moose that he waits a year for to get and to top it off he tied with his dad. Only took 16 years but he did it! There are more pictures to come...these are the only two I have on my computer right now...of course i hate the pic of me! haha
