Big "A" Moose!!

So... here is the moose that Nathan shot up in Alaska about two weeks after Bo was born. For those who don't know already we shot a moose in Alaska the first year we were married in 2001. I remember walking up to the moose, after we shot it, and thinking, "How in the world are we going to get this 'black giraffe' back to the boat?" They are just so big and intimidating that you don't think about all the work that comes with them until after they are down and you realize you have to pack out all of this animal out on your back. Anyways, the one back in 2001 was about 56" wide and I swear that it looks like a baby compared to this one. It was like we shot it right out from under it's mom and it still with milk around its mouth. THIS THING IS HUGE!!! The pictures look like ones that usually get circulated around the internet and you think to yourself, "That shiz ain't real." But I promise it is as real as it gets. It is 71 1/2" wide and as of right now it is probably going to go top 5 in the world. AMAZING. Way to go babe. Glad I got to stay home with spit up on my shirt, sleepness nights, and crappy diapers while you were making history! J/K. I am proud of ya.
