Seasons here!

Today was the CO moose rifle opener. This morning I found a decent bull at first light but decided to pass on him for something bigger. He had nice points and tines but not great spread. A young woman came in to kill a cow he was with. I moved on up the drainage a couple miles and called in a bull. Turns out it was the same one. This fellow was grunting and thrashing antlers in the vegetation as he came toward me. I stopped calling and he circled around me to get a better view and scent. I moved into some trees to get something between us, but it was scant protection. When a bull moose comes in to a call he's raring to fight. There's an element of dangerous game hunting with bull moose. Very exciting and a little scary.

Here's a couple pics from this morning. Any guesstimates on his spread? Would you have taken him?
