Congrats! That' s a great Shira' s moose! Kinda fun getting them out of the water, isn' t it?
I think the Shiras (Alces alces shirasi) are western/rocky mountain moose, smaller than the other subspecies. He probably shot what' s called an Eastern Canadian Moose (Alces alces americana) which is around the maritime provinces and NE U.S.
BUT - an awwwwfully nice moose and sounds like a great hunt - Try stuffed roasted moose heart!! -zeke
