Moose Hunting in Newfoundland: UPDATE

After returning to Ontario on Oct. 20, the guy we were moose hunting with had gone back out to the woods but still didn't see anything. For the next 2-3 days, there was frozen rain which kept most hunters indoors. My friend went back out about a week after we left from there, and spent about 2 hours in the bush before finally sighting a moose. He didn't know if it was a cow or bull, so he stalked it for a while. Finally, he had identified it as a young bull, only bearing about 6 points on its rack. Because of the season coming closer to the end, he couldn't be too picky with his moose, and he hadn't seen one for a while, so he decided this one would be the tag-filler. He waited until he had the right shot opportunity, and he fired. After the bull went down, he picked up his cell phone and called us excitedly to let us know that he had finally got one. We were happy for him, and told him to send pictures of the bull! Well, he did, and here they are:
