HOLY SHIT!!!!! World Record Moose (pic)

[trichrider]

you will never see a moose that size on any fenced 'preserve', that was a free range animal, and it must have been very difficult to find...there just aren't a bunch of those giants everywhere you look. it was a beautiful animal...and if he has it mounted and placed on his wall, he will have lasting memories to enhance his later years. a bond between him and that animal that many of you will never comprehend.





these guys might be trophy hunters...don't know if that thing attacked or not, but i can't imagine them eating it...it's as much a trophy as any well earned accomplishment.

vanilla you saying that really makes me doubt you taught hunters ed courses.

but anyway. the reason its best to kill the old animals is very simple. they're not going to be the king animal for MAYBE another year. they fight over breeding rights and quite simply once they lose. they are done. whitetail deer are known to go into depression over the matter and litearlly starve to death.

its debated whether its depression or a biological instinct to stop eating food so that there is more mast for the upcoming fawns. I don't know if moose do the same thing or not but the reason to harvest trophy animals is they have already had 6-8 yrs to pass on their genes and then their genes begin to falter. just as in our race erectile dysfunction was to stop older men from fathering childern with higher rates of schitzophrenia and autism. which we are experiencing now that so many mens penis are erect in defiance of god through pills.

and so is true in nature as well. if all these "meat hunters" who are so proud of themselves keep shooting young animals these animals will not grow to these proportions. The truth is with proper nutrition and age, virtually any animal can become a record class trophy if they weren't killed at an earlier age by non-trophy hunters. Or people that shoot unwary juvenile animals as I call them.


Look at it like this. you're in a bank and its a hostage situation. and somebody is going to die. they are gonna get shot. and you guys get to vote who.

would you vote for the 14 year old girl (one or two year old doe) or a 56 year old bank president (big old moose)?

you'd pick the person that had the longer life right?

and thus I like to hunt the oldest, wisest animals in the woods. which are why they are considered trophies.

I just hope all you anti-hunters are vegetarians. you don't bother me its people that go eat genetically modified raped pigs in cages that give me crap about shooting wild boar that I dislike.

if you eat meat you pay for the people to do it to the animal. its your fault. doesn't matter if you specifically did it.

you said it alot better than i could but since i have had threads closed due to others getting offended about an animal i have harvested i feel the need to rant anyway.


for all you dipshits who say poor defenseless animal and dont have a fucking clue about hunting or what it means to do your scouting your preseason foodplots and the countless hours in the woods trying to tag a trophy you make me fucking sick!

if you consume meat in any form wether its a steak or an egg dont pass judgement on me or look down your beady nose either. what your dumb fucks fail to understand is that if you want meat something must die. its that fucking simple! as for shooting a trophy animal of any kind that shit takes the same amount of skill and determination as pulling down 1.5 gpw it aint fucking easy!

i by no means am starving or need meat from a harvested animal to survive. i simply enjoy the outdoors and hunting is my passion. i do not waste any animal that i harvest just last year alone i killed 13 deer and gave all of them to needy families in my area. i of course kept myself a few tenderloins to cook. if you knew anything about the types of people hunters were you would know that the majority of hunters are very ethical people who understand the value of nature and protecting her.

dont fucking stereo type hunters because you are uninformed and dont understand wtf is really going on. none of us like it when the government or other citizens label us and stereotype us a dumbass stoners.

get your shit straight you make me wanna vomit.

As a hunter I consider any animal I take to be a trophy. It takes time, skill, patience and hard physical work. I dont care if it is a 20 point buck or a 75 lb. doe. Its a trophy if taken legally and ethically.

Hunting isnt about the killing , at least for me. I enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. I enjoy the peacefulness of the woods and sometimes think of a period of time in my past that was not so peaceful but instead full of pain, sorrow and cruelty. A few hours in the woods is a great treatment for PTSD. I can sit there and remind myself that everything is OK now. I like watching animals interact with other animals and their habitat. This morning while in my stand hunting deer with a muzzle loader I watched a falcon hunt songbirds. He reminded me of myself. We were both out looking for food. Like me, he tried unsuccessfully a few times before he got his sparrow breakfast. I also watched a beaver tend its dam for an hour or so before it disappeared with a slap of it's tail. I went home empty handed this morning but I still had a great hunt.
One thing many anti-hunters, at least in the US, tend to forget or ignore is that much of the open space and animals it sustains are preserved by funds paid by hunters, for the enjoyment of everybody. I see alot of antis whining and wringing their hands about the poor animals but I dont see them contributing or doing anything for land preservation, habitat improvement, or species preservation. . Hunters do that and more.

i guarantee it was eaten.

...in alaska (where this moose was) hunters must declare where every single part of the animal ends up....and it can not be left to rot (it's a license requirement....you get the state paperwork when you get your license)...and you can't bullshit...they check up on your story.

if a trophy hunter wants to "trophy hunt" in alaska it is allowed, but that meat must go somewhere....usually it goes to native villages or to needy rural folks who no longer have the means to hunt for themselves....nothing is wasted.

...same thing w/ "roadkill"...it goes to ppl who have signed up to rcv. the meat, and who need it.

capt i too was in my stand this morning and watched a hawk swoop down and catch a field rat. i saw 4 does and two smaller bucks all of which i let walk. i also am addicted to seeing the world wake up at sunrise its something everyone should at least exp once in their life imo.

well said bro....hunters are the #1 conservationists ...not PETA.
conservation requires that animals be harvested...if it does not happen the whole ecosystem becomes out of balance, and that is not healthy for any living thing w/in the ecosystem.

you certainly changed your tune since page one yukon.

no i didn't...i would not have shot that animal for anything....too majestic!
i would have shot his little brother or son tho....

i sense a quandry in this statement...

you say you're a subsistence hunter, yet you would pass up the huge harvest this would provide your family/friends for the harsh winter when you might be subsisting on muskrats and the like.

the larger animal would provide more...not that it would be greedy or irreverant to take him, it is your survival you're harvesting. every part of this animal should be utilized...even if for dogfood.

sincere wishes for your chance in the bush.

 

[NOKUY]

Moose are total assholes. They stand on roads in Maine and kill drivers.

lol......

....somehow i think moose were here a cpl. days before the roads were

 

[longearedfriend]

I don't agree with killing these animals either

i guess you have never been hunting w/ natives (inuit)....ppl that rely on and have relied on the land for generations.

alot of natives guide hunts in alaska, and canada...and i don't know of any that would direct you to that animal to kill.

if u came upon it they would tell you that there is a better one over the hill.....ultimately you'll take a "standard" animal.

the genes from animals like that are obviously special, and needed in the breeding pool.

it would be a dire emergency for anyone in the bush that knows anything to allow that animal to be killed....it's demise will affect many generations of offspring.

nope, haven't.

pretty sure of that.
if u came upon it they would tell you that there is a better one over the hill.....ultimately you'll take a "standard" animal.
they'd have a hell of a time convincing me of better.
the genes from animals like that are obviously special, and needed in the breeding pool.
like this brute hasn't been in the gene pool awhile...
it would be a dire emergency for anyone in the bush that knows anything to allow that animal to be killed....it's demise will affect many generations of offspring.

...and you letting this one go would affect the generation you are bound to...

that bull didn't get that rack hanging back from mating, he contributed...his genes are still in the pool.

his demise offended you so much you decided to share the atrocity with us?

i get it.

i decided to share the story..."once upon a time"...yadda yadda..no apologies for your offense.

 

[ShroomDr]

Trophy hunting should be abolished

The 'survival of the fittest' animal is not the moose, its the human.

Shouldnt we reintroduce all the big cat species we have essentially removed from this continent?

I use to be semi against hunting, until i hit two deer with a car. (There had to be 7-9 of them, all crossing the road, im 99% sure i crushed three of their legs in my front driver wheel well.)

They got up and ran away (im sure to die a painful and agonizing death).

If you really want to go pro-animal, how about 'Guns are for pussies', bow hunting seems legit though.

Some say cucumbers taste better pickled.

I grew up hunting. What you shot is what you would get to eat - not counting crows and other pests. I had a friend (his daughter and my son were childhood friends) who had us over to their house for dinner one night and he whips out pictures of him and his 3 buddies hunting teal in Mexico (teal is a small duck - little bigger than a dove). In the course of a day they shot more than 1,400 of the birds and left them for the dogs. Nobody wanted the meat.

It made me sick and that was the end of our friendship. I bet he never showed those pictures to anyone else for the rest of his miserable life. Asshole.

my offense?
oh, the large font was so you could distinguish my reply. it wasn't an indication of me being offended.
