Wow, stud bull!Lots of folks only seem to talk about width on moose. I would encourage you to not get too caught up in width, but to consider the overall look of a bull.
Here are two shiras bulls from a long time ago that are very similar in width ~1-2" apart IIRC, both very close to 50". I know they were both killed later that fall, and once upon a time I knew how wide they actually were. While their widths are very comparable, the one bull just can't hold a candle to the other in over all look.

That’s a Shiras ?! Those fronts are wildDon't have a better pic...lol, but this is the B&C World record shot by Bobby Hebert in 2015. It was almost dark so pics were bad, but he was a beast. He shot him a few weeks after we saw it. Don't know what his spread was off the top of my head but he was something else. I believe it was a Governors tag. He had a paid scout that was parked at the same trailhead we were using. Still shot it with Trad equipment. We actually saw more moose on that hunt than we saw elk. We hunted the same drainage for elk the next year and it was much the same.

I'm not sure where you got you "Paid Scout" info but I don't think its correct and it was a unit specific draw tag not a Governors tag. A very good friend of mine and the hunters saw this bull the previous year when scouting for his tag. This bull left that unit and went an adjacent unit as the season started. The next year Bobby applied specifically or that unit to hunt this bull. He scouted all summer never seeign this bull and actually turned in his archery moose tag before the season started and exchanged it to a rifle tag with a season Oct 1-14. He passed on several large B&C caliber bulls before finding this guy again a year after his friend saw him. I was lucky enough to score this bull for B&C and P&Y. It was accepted as the new WR for P&Y The bull was 55 4/8 wide B&C and net scores 192 0/8.

Than you. I was only relaying what the people that were camping at the trailhead told me. I did not verify. Just passing what I had heard. Thank you for clearing it up for me. He was a beast and from several hundred yards away and almost dark it was not hard to see that. We saw several other bulls in that drainage in subsequent years, but nothing like that. We did have one in one of the draws funneling down to that one that did not like our elk calls much....lol. Also had a yearling bull and several cow calf pairs that "hung around" our camp. Really cool area....I'm not sure where you got you "Paid Scout" info but I don't think its correct and it was a unit specific draw tag not a Governors tag.
