Not saying either of the bulls on the video aren't worth shooting but they do grow bigger. If I ever have the chance to hunt Alaska Moose again I would look for the improvements on what I already have if I don't get back I am more than happy with what I have already.
    Love to see some photos?
    What sort of spread do you think the ones in the video have?
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    I would be thinking around the 60 inch mark maybe a little bigger The body size makes the antlers look smaller than they are. Both those bulls have nice long points coming off the palms which looks great, old bulls quite often have broomed points.

    Shearer did a bit of a look around at some old copied pictures of some big Alaskan Moose, these a just photos of photocopies I have kept as they are of Bloody Monster Bulls ( these are not my Pictures) The one of the guy holding the antlers bythe plane is 80 inch and as you can see the palms have a warped/ ripple effect on them. The other is 75 ich and like a tree on it's head truly impressive animals those moos are.Name:  P1020853.jpg

    That's and impressive bull, Nice points, wide palms good brow points and looks to be wider than the pick up truck. Those American trucks are pretty wide so he is a goodie.
