Default Wainwright Bull

After a ten year wait, I got this fella on monday. I spent the muzzle loader season holding out for a monster and After 3 days and 16 bulls later, we came across this guy. He was hanging out with four others and was the biggest of the bunch. This was my first time ever hunting the base and it was an experience. Lots of moose seen and would love to do it again.
50 1/2" bull and the best part was we could drive right to him to load him up. I was lucky to have 2 good buddies who stuck it out and were there with strong backs
Thanks to all who helped with tips and pointers and to Raptor for some awesome scouting

Great looking bull Greg, That hunt can be a bit of a gong show but it can be fun, What part of the base did you find him? down by the bridge?

Thanks,
I had the same issue you had when you were there. He was the biggest we saw. The bridge was closed the whole time we were there so we spent most of our time around The Hill. There were moose there every day
