A full-grown bull moose can weigh up to 1,000 pounds and measure 5 to 7 feet tall at the shoulder. The species found in Wyoming and Montana is the smaller of North America's species, the shiras.

The bull somehow got away, even with two .30/06 slugs in him. My doctor told me not to, but a week later I went back to the same spot with a couple of buddies. My wife wouldn’t go.

Terri Lamusga of Aurora took this bull moose with a 44-inch antler spread at 7:03 a.m. on opening day of Minnesota's moose season, Oct. 2. She was hunting about 35 miles from Two Harbors.
