Although he wasn't a monster he had good body mass so I'm sure it's more a picture perspective issue. It was really hard to get any sort of decent shots because the height of the alder.

Awesome bull! Why to go Alpine! True words - It’s about the hunt. Anything to bring home after the adventure is just a bonus!
Congrats again!

Congratulations. Great photos and story. Two day ride into a new area through two feet of snow makes for a memorable hunt. Talked to you when you were headed in and am glad you were successfull and made it out safe. Those horses would have had quite a load coming out. Take care

He definitely extends upward as opposed to outward.

Ya, it was quite a long trip out as well..........the horses are in a lot better shape after packing out camp and the moose LOL!!
They handled it well and its a lot easier to keep them motivated on the way out as you know.
Take care and thanks for the trail advice.
