I was fortunate to have hunted Sweden a couple of years ago and to have taken a good bull myself as a guest of my mate there. I was asked to 'please not shoot Mr Big' He is now around 21 points and a great example of wild moose management in having serviced many cows again.
And yes he is as wild as any other too. Pics a bit blurry as taken quickly from the car.

Ugly beast, aren't they. Makes really good cold roast sandwiches, though, with plum chutney - super, actually.

The biggest Swedish Moose was shot in 1982, and still it´s small compared to yours Daryl. To you it´s a calf....

No Calf, but a terrific moose, that one, Sville. Beautiful palms and brow guards coming out of them into one palm each side.
I might have a picture or two.

same moose, better perspective

This is my Brother with his big bullwinkle.

David Stutley with Dave Chapman's bull.

A happy hunter - my brother guided this hunt.

Would be interesting to see a photo of a record Alaska or Canadian Moose, because they are a lot bigger then the swedish ones. In Sweden they are bigger up in the north of Sweden then i the south.
