Yup worth far too much to hang it on the wall and collect dust....I'd turn that puppy into as much cash as I could get for it.
thats a monster
WOW what a beast. :)
I read somewhere he dropped that monster with an old Lee-Enfield .303. Does anyone know if this is true? I can't recall the source of my info. If it is true, that would be classic.
Here we go..... http://www.whitehorsestar.com/archiv...-world-record/
...an old British .303 with open sights. The marketing staffs for the latest and greatest rifles, optics, and ammo have gotta hate this.
Always liked the .303 ...I have two in my Gun safe :)Quote:

Amazing animal, same firearm my grandpa bought my dad for his first big game hunt, same gun my dad handed down to me when I started :) Open sites, dad still uses that gun.
Excuse me,but,isn't the sale of animal parts expressly illegal? Even taxidermists can only sell their services,assuming the Moose was shot in Canada,of course.
The largest sports store that I know of in the yukon is the sports lodge downtown whitehorse. They have or had a monster hanging in there the last time I was there. I'm sure they would love to have the world record especially since it was shot in the yukon hanging in their store? I'll take a look and talk to someone in there as I'm heading to whitehorse on Thursday.
There's no way I'd be selling it if it was mine. Memories are worth something to me.
