The Biggest Moose Ever: A Tale of Three Records
Moose are the largest members of the deer family and one of the most impressive animals in North America. They can weigh up to 800 kg (1,800 lb) and have antlers that span up to 2.5 m (8 ft) across. But among all the moose that roam the continent, there are some that stand out as the world’s record for their subspecies: the Canada moose, the Alaska-Yukon moose, and the Shiras moose.
The World’s Record Canada Moose
The world’s log Canada moose was shot by Michael E. Laub in British Columbia in 1980. He was hunting with two friends and a guide near Vizer Creek, along the Lower Yukon River. He spotted a bull moose grazing on a mountain slope, about 400 yards away. He did not realize how giant it was because he had never seen a moose before.
He descended on his horses and tried to get closer to the moose. He fired a shot but missed. The moose ran into the brush and he followed him. He caught up with him again at about 250 yards, but he was facing away from them in the thick grass. He fired another shot and strike him. The moose went down, got up again, and moved off.
He galloped through the brush and got behind and
New world record shiras moose
FERRY COUNTY -A Washington hunter has officially set the world record for Shiras moose.
Jim Hall, a 52-year-old from Buckley, had two days left on his once-in-a-life-time tag after applying for over 30 years. On November 28, Hall was hunting with his friend, Jason Parlari in Ferry County when a massive bull moose appeared.
“I’m not paying attention to its horns,” Hall told our partners at the Spokesman Review. “I’m trying to get it down as fast and ethically as possible... I’m just in awe,” Hall said. “I’m texting pictures to people and all my friends are freaking out.”
Hall was told by a friend to enter the moose to the Safari Club's international ranking.
In total the bull moose’s antlers had 242 inches of aggregate tine length, according to the Spokesman. Hall said he wasn't sure but thought the animal was between 650 and 700 pounds.
On April 4, the hunter create he had set the unused world-record for Shiras moose.

With fog blanketing the dense slopes of Northeast Washington and only two days left in the 2018 moose season, Jim Hall wasn’t optimistic.
The 52-year-old from Buckley, Washington, had spent the better part of two months hunting for the large ungulate. The once-in-a-lifetime tag meant that, in two days, his chance would be over after applying for the coveted tag for nearly 30 years.
“Things were pretty bleak,” he said in an interview Monday.
He’d already passed up a few shots on legal moose earlier in the season.
“I was regretting it a little bit,” he said. “But I was more thinking that I should have pushed harder before the season started to scout more.”
On Nov. 28, Hall and his hunting partner, Jason Parlari, headed into an area recommended by an acquaintance who lives in Ferry County. The duo was hunting near Republic, Washington, in Game Management Unit 101.
As Parlari drove, Hall scanned either side of the road.
“It was really foggy,” Hall said. “We were thinking this is done because you couldn’t see any more than 150 yards.”
But then a bull moose appeared. The animal was looking toward the two men with

A hunter in Washington learned last Thursday that he shot a world record holding Shira moose back in November.
Jim Hall, 52, and his comrade Jason Parlari were hunting nearby Republic, Washington, in Game Organization Unit 101 when they discovered the large beast.

Hall had already passed up the opportunity to shoot down a few animals.

'I was regretting it a little bit,' he explained to the Spokesman-Review. 'But I was more thinking that I should have pushed harder before the season started to scout more.'
So on the morning of the vital catch, Hall was adamant that things weren't going to work out in their favor.
'It was really foggy,' Hall added. 'We were thinking this is done because you couldn't see any more than 150 yards.'
