Monster Moose Racks
Monster Moose Racks
Guide Jim Rae holds Jan Boenicke’s monster bull moose rack at camp in the Yukon.
“There were giants in the earth in those days” –Genesis 6:4
Today there are giants, too, giants called “moose.” The moose is larger than any deer species that ever existed, rivaled only by the extinct giant deer, or “Irish elk.” The giant deer surpasses the moose in antler spread (a maximum of 12 feet versus 6½), but the moose’s antlers, at top weights of over 80 pounds, are actually the more massive.
No moose is truly “small”; but there are an awful lot of monumental moose on the loose of late, including a potential new world’s archery record, taken barely three months ago. It is a golden age for outrageous racks.

Oh my god, these are some sick bulls. My dream is to take a moose like this with my bow.
I would do anything for a bull like these...to bad the guided hunts cost so much!
absolute monsters!
Fantastic! Awesome! My dream, also, is to hunt moose
in Alaska/Yukon.

You boys will probably have to keep on dreamin -- The outfitter starts at $20,000.
Sure would be the ultimate experience to bowhunt a bull moose of that caliber. Ive seen videos of bull moose shot with a bow and then the archer was charged over. I know Ill probably never get the chance but one can dream cant he? Its too bad the outfitter costs so much. Seems like something only the wealthy can accomplish. How much draw weight is ideal for such a beast? For now Ill stick with the whitetail.
I'm not going to lie...It'd be a dream just to SEE a bull like these.
Oh jeez, Im creating a puddle on my keyboard. As soon as I win that powerball....Im heading to Alaska!!
man thats huge wish i had that to munt
Wow! I would love to shoot any one of these monsters. I think that a moose hunt would just be an amazing trip.
Man, I don't think I have seen a monster like that in the places I have been to in Alaska.
Hey guys, I just went on an unguided float trip with a buddy and shot a 70" moose that was just measured and will make Boone and Crockett. You don't have to spend alot of money to have a shot at a big moose.
All I can say is WOW!!!!!
impressive!!
does anyone of them guys need a hunting budy??? those are some awsome bulls
pic 5 is uhmazing
Nate
OMG!!!
Always nice to see some giant moose racks like this...good job
and yes I have to agree pic number 5 is amazing
"The outfitter starts at $20,000."
Someday when I become a millionare!!!!!!!!
Dreaming don't hurt as long as you pursue it with intention to have it someday......
i would love to take something like that here in minnesota!
