Alaska moose width thread?

[AKBC]

There are a lot of fellow brow tine counters. I wonder how long it will take to remove the better brow tine genes from the pool.

if you can't make any recognizable difference in the gene pool on a whitetail in the midwest, I'm pretty sure we don't have much of a shot on these boys...

Remember, 1/2 of that "browtine gene" comes from the X chromosomes, of which almost none are getting shot

What do you think? 50? Awesome pack out.

Haha. You could bring the freezer to him!

Looks close too 50 but I’d probably Have to pass.

Does anyone have a chart they have made that shows 50” out to 6-800 yards with moa

Not sure if I posted my bull in this thread or not. I don’t have one of it prior to me taking it. Happened too quick. Shouldn’t be too hard but feel free to give it a width guess. More practice the better however it’s not the same as seeing it 50-100yds out.

This chart is right on but to make it a little easier and a little more forgiving you can just use 1moa as 1" @ 100yds

100 yds & 50 moa = 1 x 50 = 50"

200 yds & 25 moa = 2 x 25 = 50"

370 yds & 15 moa = 3.7 x 15 = 55.5"

554 yds & 9 moa = 5.54 x 9 moa = 49.86"


Example: fathers moose in 2020

Bull was at 300 yards and I got 19 moa which comes 3 x 19 = 57"
It ended up being 60"

This is funny to me... you ask an engineer for a table/chart and he will make you one, & it will be accurate. Useful?...meh. Good work robinhood.

I appreciate you throwing that up I’d really just like it to be a no brainer situation and lead is flying

I don't know how long it would take in years but it happens for sure. The area I hunt is 4 brows and finding a 4 brow tine bull is damn near impossible, 2-3 brow tine bulls are much more common so width is basically the only way of us to tag bulls. Every now and then we come across a 4 brow tine bull but it is very rare. The last bull I shot was a 60"er with 2x2 brows.

He's laid way out there, got to be at least 68-70" bull if not a tad more. Congrats, that's a great bull moose!!

I was thinking 66-68"

 

[Theringworm]

Alaskan89 was the closest. He was 76.5”

I had a feeling that I was low but didn't think by that much, congrats, that's a hammer of a bull!
