I am pleased to announce my Moose officially scored 176 3/8 ?Boone and Crockett? and ?Pope and Young?.

My Moose is now the pending ?Pope and Young? (Archery) Colorado State Record. Previous record was 173.

I am lucky, I am blessed, and I am thankful.

zekers,
This text in the email said that the hunter just got the Bull in Oct. so it might be awhile before the Taxi finishes the mount I would think.

Wow absolutely gorgeous bull congrats

Congratulations to the hunter!
Obviously a monster bull with a gun or bow!
All the orange makes me think he was gun hunting and happened on to a bow opportunity? Anyone have a story?
At any rate...great bull!

It was scored both by a P&Y OC and a B&C OC there were two copies of score sheet in a PDF form.

Nice Bull but if it was archery why is he in orange??

HiMtnHntr · Dec 22, 2009

He is in orange because he probably hunted with his bow during the rifle season. Lots of folks do this and orange is still required. When I'm an old man I hope to do something similar!

It could be a hunt using a governors license where you could hunt with any weapon but an elk season could be in session during hunt.

This pic has been around for years. It was killed in the Selway in the late 90's. I heard the guy is actually from California and buys these hunts all over the world. I'm not buying it.

If it was real I would be really jealous as this critter is on my bucket list.
