Rex Nick Record Moose

Item: 0542 Categories: Antlers, Moose

Technically on a subsistence hunt, Rex Nick was hunting the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta along the Lower Yukon River. It was late-September 2010. The area had been closed to moose hunting from 1988-1994. With few predators of the four-legged variety, moose populations were doubling every three years—even with a hunting season. Rex Nick shot this brute with a .300 Win Mag at just 65 yards, but that’s not the end of the story. Apparently, he had no desire to keep the antlers, and he split the skull in half. Why on earth would someone do that? Well, according to the regulations regarding subsistence hunts, hunters can only sell the antlers when they are not attached to the skull. So he hacked the skull in half before selling them. Before he took the saw to it, though, Nick had the antlers measured at the 29th Awards Program Judges Panel where it was verified as the new World’s Record.
