Nice pics Justice4all. So whereabouts near Fairbanks are you? I'm on the west side of town (Chena Ridge). That moose sure is a hog. It really puts to shame the 40" bull that I shot in 20B this year. Was the 'bou up the Dalton? Congratulations and thanks for sharing the pics.

I actually live in North Pole a little outside of Fort Wainwright. thanks for the comments on the moose, I know there was luck involved being this is my first year up here and I didn't have residency at the time. I ended up taking himin 20B also.
Yes, I got the bou on the Dalton. I have seen much bigger ones up there, but the late migration made it difficult to get a hog. I saw several booner bulls with either one antler or no antlers at all that late in the season.
I really need to see the pics of your moose. From what I hearthe moose hunt was kind of a bust around here this year and any bull you get is a good bull. Even though I heard it was a bad year we saw plenty of bulls and could have taken more the two we got.
You can count your lucky stars if you got a 62" bull before you even got residency...and in Unit 20B to boot. Lots of guys spend big bucks for remote fly outs just in hopes of seeing a bull that big. You got spoiled, but congratulations regardless. I'll have to try and resize my moose picture to fit the file size limit. In the meantime here's a caribou I shot on the North Slope this year. You'll have to stop by
