    A Canadian mate of mine that I used to work in the mines with me sent me this from Canada today... thought id share it with you all..The e-mail reads as this....

    Jim Rae was guiding moose this fall for a client from Berlin who paid twenty thousand dollars for the expedition with South Nahanni Outfitters in the Northwest Territories and he got his money's worth. The hunter
    bagged a massive bull moose, probably about seven years old. For hunters, it is 258' boone & crockett points. What does that mean? It is thought to be the seventh largest in the world!

    That is quite simply the biggest Moose i've ever seen. Seriously, even on TV. You would need a triple re-inforced wall to hang it on or just park a teleporter outside the window.

    Excellent result, very well done. Thanks for sharing.





    Just an after thought, he didn't happen to say what rifle he used.
