May be Shiras moose.

Yeah...I’d imagine those are the best of the best for growth. Take this as a comparison and this is your average sized cow.

Sgt’s always right!
I heard that the cow moose are more aggressive then the bulls, especially when they have young ones. Is that your experience?

Yes, 100% correct. They also don’t have a fear for humans like a bull does. Being that you can’t hunt them, you are not a threat. Moose also have very poor eyesight. So if you surprise one, expect to at least get kicked at. They aren’t the most agile, but don’t have to be with their size and power.

I totally forgot you lived in Alaska, yea the moose there are way bigger, but these ain’t too small. Lol they call them Giles moose.

I figured as it looks to have a utility bed on it. Pretty cool set up!

It was just a regular bed, but they are going away from track set up to this set up. Saw 2 big box trucks with these and almost all the snow coaches run the big flotation tires. They cost way less than the tracks, are way quieter, can be aired up to run on pavement, then aired down to run on the snow, way less maintenance. The word is all the track kits are on the way out.

 

[giles]

I need one of those for TOO outings! “TOO short bus”

 

[Clay Showalter]

Those tires are way cool, The biggest tires he’s running are 28 inches wide and 46 inches tall. The smallest are 20 inches wide and 44 inches tall. They cost 10,000 a set

Unbelievable photos guys!!! I’d be standing there waiting on massive amounts of antlers to hit the ground. Prolly not allowed to pick them up though are you?

Man we were hoping one would drop, especially since one had already dropped one side. We watched them worked the grass toward and beside us for close to 2 hours. Each state has laws about shed collection but I think we were in the part of Wyoming where it would have been illegal
