Alaskan Man Harvests a Record Breaking Bull Moose
AK Sportsman ^ | 10/3/2017 | C Bailey

Posted on 10/03/2017 11:06:06 AM PDT by w1n1

An absolute giant of moose goes down in Alaska. Israel Payton may have his hands on the new world record moose. World record animals being harvested always gain a lot of attention. Of course, a moose is not going to catch the attention that a world record whitetail would, but a record is sure to turn some heads.

And the news of a new world record moose being broke is doing just that.

Israel Payton, an Alaskan, may have just harvested the world record moose with a successful hunt on this whopping bull. It is said the bull is coming in at an incredible score of 80 inches.

In an article and interview with KTUU, Israel gave some insight on the hunt.

“We tried to stand it up with cow calls, bull rakes, and grunts,” said Payton over the phone. “I guesstimated it was about a 70 inch rack from the field, and finally after 2 hours it stood up and offered a clean kill, harvested it.” Read the rest of the record breaking Alaska bull moose harvested story here.

It's delicious - lean, tender (depending on the animal's age and other factors)and there is usually a lot of it. That beast will fill a couple of large freezers.
If you've never eaten jellied moose nose, (similar to head cheese but better) you haven't lived.
