Location: Beluga River, AK William Nelson, his son Brian and longtime hunting partner Dean were out to fill the freezer with some moose meat in the Beluga River drainage 30 miles west of Anchorage. It was the middle of November, 25 degrees and snowing hard when they left camp on snowshoes. William had shot his first moose in the area as a boy 40 years prior and knew the country well. The party stopped to glass the drainage when movement caught their attention. It was a moose, a big moose, whose palms were filled with snow. The bull was 250 yards away, but every time William put the scope on him, the massive antlers were covered the bull's vitals. Finally, the old bull put his head down, William emptied his scope of snow and took the shot. The moose moved ever so slightly and disappeared from view. Dean snowshoed down and found the bull curled up dead with a shot through the lungs. Boone & Crockett Club
