A dream come true for Brent, there's a limit on moose here in Unalakleet and he had already helped a friend get one.
He was out hunting with his friend Allen and they were just about to call it a night when Brent spotted two bulls fighting.
He watched them fight for a long time before they stopped to rest, that's when he shot this one.
It's so big he couldn't get his legs around the midsection, he's actually straddling the neck. We only kept the neck and one quarter. Allen and his wife Myrna were able to give the rest to elders and single wives in the village. One moose feeds a lot of people up here, and beef is too expensive.
This moose was a blessing in a lot of ways and we're very thankful for it.
Brent's friend from the village mounted the moose rack for Brent, he's really excited.
How would you like to be attacked by one of those things...? Yikes!
