RE: Maine Moose Size?
There are a lot of 50 inch bulls in Maine so I think that could be a reasonable goal. They are not hiding behind every tree but you certainly should be able to get something like that if you try. They don' t hang around the roads much anymore but they are there. As an example, I know of 5 different bulls within a 2 mile radius of my house that would exceed the 50 inch mark.
In 2001, my goal was a 1000 pound bull with at least a 50 spread. Shot a 51 incher that dressed at 920. Close anyway.
