I agree!

The background in the top pic is so cool it almost doesn't look real.

Both of the hunts took place in Alaska. They were both bow hunts but he had to end up shooting them with a rifle. On the sheep hunt he wasn't able to stock close enough to get within bow range. So finally on the latter days of the trip his outfitter told him just to shoot one with the rifle. On the moose hunt he had no problem getting close enough for a shot with his bow but it was really brushy and couldn't get a clear shot. If you look at the picture they had to cut brush away just to take pictures. So he didn't want to let a bull of that size get away so he ended up taking it with his rifle at 30 yards! The moose ended up being 60 inches and I'm not sure on exactly what the sheep ended up scoring. It was a full curl though. Even though he had to take them with his rifle he was very pleased on how both of his hunts turned out.
