JD...CONGRATS!!!!! Hope all is well with mom, babe and you. I am sure your future partner will bring you much joy!

Just returned home from a successful but extremely wet moose hunt. We we're fortunate enough to take2 bulls. Yesterdaygot a good bull forour area,we even got a few pics...so JD I'll post it when I get them!!Call wasn't nearly ashot as it should have been but none the less worked out and a great time!

DoubleA, my advice is judge the rack alone!Like I said forget the body, look at the beams & tine's...mass usually isn't a issue and the spread isn't all it's cracked up to be here. I am sure you are versed in field judging down their, so use this knowledge and apply it to our deer. They can be monsters on the hoof but not always..so focus on his antler attributes then worry about putting it through his body. I am sure you'll do fine and wish you all the best in your hunt.

Edit: Pic fromthe friday bull. As you can tell it was wet and darn cool that day..hence my gear. This bull took some work to get him back to camp by quarters. In total 7 hours of labour but as usual well worth the blood, sweat, tears and lots of cursing!!! LOL

Sorry nothing to due with whitetails but a canadian pic none the less!!!

Good hunting.
