If money and/or space is a problem, do a euro and if possible, frame a nice large picture of you and the moose. Kinda the best of both worlds.
Congrats. Share some details like who you went with, what did you use and how far was the shot.
Most guys don't have the room for an animal the size of a moose. Plus if you are young and will move through the years believe me it's a pain hauling giant animals around.
Who did you do your hunt with? I've been back for a week from my second trip to the Rock. I had a great hunt with Ironbound, just did not get it done. Our group went 3/4, I was the unlucky one.
Mount it!!!!
It's a sure thing if you go with rifle and don't care about the size of bull or cow you shoot.
It's as hard as any other hunt I have been on if you want to shoot something with size.
I have seen groups go 4/4 one week and the next go 0/4.
My first trip humbled me as I had wall space all picked out and after 75+ degree days for 3-5 days only a couple moose seen we all went home with great memories but no moose - we were all rifle hunting.
I then went with Ironbound and tagged (rifle) out my first day. Weather was perfect. It was post rut. We would have likely not tagged out with bow that trip.
I know some say it's an easy place to get a moose. It's one of the cheaper ways to get a moose - would not call it easy ever again!
Lenny, that isn't like you!:)

HaHa. I guess I can't be lucky all the time. Closest I got was 70 yards. We bedded a good bull with a cow and stalked in to 70 yards behind a large granite boulder. After I got set up, my guide cow called. The cow stood up and walked downwind, caught our scent, and took off uphill. The bull stood up and immediately followed her. That was my only opportunity. I was there the same time as Eric (9/24-10/1). The weather was our challenge. Warm temps with lots of wind or fog and rain.

Nice.
