Troy Sessions - Two 70" moose on one hunt! Never been achieved before!
Two giant 70 inch moose harvested on the same hunt is unheard of. Add to that , a third bull in the 60” range in 5 days and you have an Epic hunt of a LIFETIME! TROY SESSIONS does it again in this action packed Arctic hunt of a lifetime. Just when you think you’ve heard it all, Troy reveals secrets never before shared.
Three buddies and two airplanes full of gear flying out over 230 miles into the arctic bush in pursuit of massive moose beyond the normal “big guy” category. What was in store for them is almost inconceivable and beyond anyones expectations! You will see moose called to within 25 yards and one drawn in from over half a mile away while they watch with anticipation from a hilltop.
With two super Cub planes water skipping their tires down wild rivers in preparation for “short field” landings you will be glued to your seats. Keep your seatbelts fastened. Only high skilled pilots should attempt what you are about to see. For the first time Troy shares with two great friends his coveted Arctic hunting area hinged on the promise of never giving his honey hole away. Butch Whiting Co-founder of Kryptek and Jeff Wall CEO of whisper Tok are sworn to secrecy and embark on what will be a hunt for the records books.
After the hunt , Boon and Crockett awarded Troy Sessions by placing his giant moose into the prestigious RECORDS OF NORTH AMERICA BIG GAME BOOK!

@Benny Dover in the past 10 years I have called all my moose into camp. At some point I should start bringing my bow. This particular moose was called in for my buddy who had never taken a 60 inch bull and was pleasantly surprised with this 71 inch bull. He was the CEO of WhisperTek at the time and was showcasing his silencer therefore resulting in the shots taken. Thank you for your comment.
Archery hunts please! Love the up close footage
This was fun to watch...filmed and edited great...man your blessed to be able to fly in and out of those places on your own...great job all around boys
Really enjoyed your hunt. Thank you
Great hunting video, watching your videos is like I’m there with you guys
Never would have guessed that's a 308 rifle. That's something to prove a point about shot placement to all the haters once you see those moose drop. Incredible hunts fellas, enjoy the full freezers. Well earned
I dont choose a 308. But, I drug out 2 moose dropped by 308 and one dropped in its tracks by a 270. Just good, calm riflemen.
By far the best moose hunting video on KZhead. Well done guys on the moose and very impressive filming it as well.
AlaskaFishSlayer thank you we had the best hunt ever.... In camp all we could say was Epic and it was... glad you enjoyed it...
The coolest video I have 3ver seen on KZhead.
The hunting is great, but I'm most impressed by the landing of those planes! Wow. You bush pilots are good!!
Thank you! Acquiring the skills to land in tight spots is key to exceptional hunting areas. If others cans land in our spots we get to keep them for ourselves year after year. Keep this in mind when chartering flights with Air-Taxi Services.
*AWESOME Video Guys! Very Nice*
Thank you ! We hope to show more enjoyable videos every month. Happy Hunting and be safe out there. Troy 60InchClub.com
Excellent video guys! Thank you. You was in my territory :)
Thank you and remember to keep our little secret about this awesome area...
Now that's some amazing hunts!! Congratulations
Thank you we sat around the campfire cooking moose tenderloins on this hunt feeling blessed. Nothing is better than BBQ moose tenderloins out in the wilderness on your hunt.
Literally watching this and realized it's September 9th at noon.... right now. Creepy
Good timing actually, we have guys out in the field now with moose down.
2 huge once in a lifetime bulls and 1 giant moose. That was an awesome hunt. This was the first video I’ve saw from your channel and going to subscribe to watch more
Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed our production. We filmed this hunt as it happened and had no idea just how blessed we all were going to be. We knew this place was remote and held giant moose from our many scouting trips but wow…. One evening around the camp fire Butch said “this was an Epic Hunt” and that’s how it got it’s name. Happy hunting
Probably the best video I’ve seen in ages of a great hunt. I love that you show camp and hanging out with the crew. Very subtle music in the background . Frickin awesome guys. Let’s face it, squeezing the trigger is such a small part of the hunt, it’s the good times at camp with your buddies that really makes the trip . Post more vids like this one and you’ve got me as a subscriber!! Awesome
Daron clark thank you for all the kind words we really enjoy sharing our adventures with folks.
Absolutely beautiful my friends, awesome animals, thanks for taking us along, take care n stay safe..
Thank you for the kind reply, be safe out here and wishing you the best this fall.
@@60InchClub your welcome my friend, and thank you, take care
GREAT HUNT GUYS!!!
Great cub work, congratulations
Hey thanks, lots of practice...
My God! What a hunting spot and calling skills. Looked like you were shooting steers in the pasture.
Thank you for the compliments, we all felt blessed to experience such a great spot. The area shown is called "Trophy Ridge" on my website at 60inchclub.com
AMAZING ! SIMPLY AMAZING!! EXCELLENT SHOOTING GUYS!
We were amazed as well. One can only hope for two bulls not to mention two 70 inch bulls and the a third 63 inch bull. Thank you for your comment
Nice video
Awesome moose hunt! And, what a rifle.
Thank you for your response we all that it was pretty epic.
There's no easy hunts in Alaska--you earn every one! Much respect for your success and love of one of God's most magnificent creatures. Tasty critters too!
Good job bro. Congratulations
pathuri mohan thank you we had a great hunt with memories to last a lifetime.
Great. This is the stuff true heroes are made of.
I'm not sure about "heroes" but truly blessed sound good to me, but thank you for your thoughts.
What a great hunting trip .
Thank you I love sharing my hunts with all you guys. Next one is coming out soon Happy Hunting Troy
That’s some big moose ye got there, well done. Not quite as big here in Newfoundland but we got some nice ones. Last one I got had seventeen points and maybe forty inches but in meantime I have never measured him. Got the skull outside and gonna measure him now after seeing this. Cheers from Newfoundland
Thank you Len Howl for the kind words lots of respect for you guys in Newfoundland... Seventeen points..... wow thats pretty darn good and a trophy in my book, congrats. Troy
Hi , Great trip, great result. I really would like to know what projectile and weight of projectile you used in the 308W.
We used 190gr ABLR on a Tach II , Proof Research rifle system.
Did you notice in Troy’s slow motion shot the two fragments that splashed behind the bull when he shot?
Nice flying and nice shooting, from somebody who knows both.
Jon Drayna coming from you that’s a good compliment thank you. The hunt was filmed as it happened so its true to form.
Just wow
How's the steaks off one of those big bulls? Pretty tough?
NICE!!! ^5s
brian kleinkopf thank you we are blessed to fill the freezers.
@@60InchClub Im sorta jelious...I cant hunt no more... still love to watch Good hunters tho, Thank U Be Blessed, yall!!
What (caliber) gun were those taken with? There's a trip that won't be easy to beat. Nice !!
All of us were using the same rifle, it was a 308 Proof Research Tach II utilizing a WhisperTek silencer.
awesome guys, man i wish the cameras were higher quality.
We are working on better quality for you guys. Thank you for your suggestion.
that was cool u called your DAD good shit
dirtyoutlaw hey thanks! I really like to keep the family involved.
How do you get all the meat back to camp? Do you process most of it or just take what you want and leave the rest for animals to eat? You guys are awesome bush pilots.
Great question! Alaska required ALL editable meat to be brought back to camp with meat naturally attached on the bone, no processing. Basically we break apart the moose into quarters (meat on bone) and backpack them back to camp. Once in camp we hang the meat or place them on logs close to the river where it's the coolest and prepare them to be flown out with us. One way we make this packing easier is with our new meat bags with handles allowing two people to lift the same bag and maneuver it much easier. Hope this helps. T
First time ever seeing someone hunt with silencers. Must be a cop thing. Great content and video...dems some monsters!
Thanks! In all honesty my ears didn't ring for the first time. The silencer seams to project the loud bang 10 yards in front of you without hurting my ears.
What suppressor was on the first Proof Research barreled rifle? Caliber?
It was a prototype WhisperTek Suppressor no longer offered.
What rifle and caliber do you use for this hunt?
We used a 308 Proof Research Tach II rifle on all three Moose crowned with a Leupold scope.
Nice ambush
You guys are so lucky to live in a country like this. Hunting in Germany is so freakin shitty it’s not even funny
bachelor brother maybe. Trophy whitetail brother often run together
Wow really nice animals I bet the meat is tougher than nails and I wanna know what it cost you to do it I’m guessing $7000 really
We have most of the meat turned into berger or slow cook the roast. Meat falls off after a long slow cook. We have eaten big moose for over 3 decades now. It might be a flaw of mine but I just love going after giant bulls.
Troy makes Shockey look like a beans and wiener guy! LOL
Thanks for uplifting comment Mike. :)
Shockey wouldn't use planes. Pretty easy to fly around until you find one.
Still love Shockey but what a cool fuckin video. So much skill! Glad I watched it.
@@mottom2033 actually Shockey does use planes…
What bullet do you use?
190grn ABLR
Is your gun suppressed? Make & caliber? 😊
Proof Research Tach II, 308 , 180 grn.
How many yards was the second moose when shot could not have been 30 yards
It was around that yardage and a joy to experience.
What ammo and bullet do you used ?
I shoot 300 Win Mag, 190 ren ABLR ammo out to 1000 yards however I personally don't shoot animals past 600 or have the need to.
What cal is that first rifle?
Proof Research Tach II 308
What caliber are you shooting?
We are shooting a 308 Proof Research Tach II rifle system in this production.
Thats what you call hunting. Great video. Beautiful animals. That looks like a really nice rifle. Is that a 308?
@Orange Roughy so what do you call hunting these fellas went out for a week and hunted walked miles and camped nights and drug these things
It was a 308 Tach II
Why would you shoot the 2nd and 3rd shot ??
blaine stewart thank you for asking. Even though the first shot was a kill shot it’s just humane to not let any animal suffer longer than necessary.
Nice bull... I thnk that 3rd shot was a clean miss... but still great bull...
Moose Racks we think so too but you couldn’t convince our buddy Jeff. 😜 We did rag on him around the campfire though.
@@60InchClub lol... most times I see the moment the bullet hits the animal...when filming..replay replay.... GREAT VIDEO GUYS... AMAZING HUNT.... CHEERS
What caliber of gun?? Did you actually shoot them in the ear?
We shot all three with the same caliber (rifle), the 308 Proof Research Tach II. Could have shot two of them with a bow...
Where do we sign up?
Gene Chapman go to our website..->. 60inchclub.com
What gun is he using , I doubt I could afford the gun let alone the whole trip?
We no longer endorse the manufacture of this rifle however it's a 308 cartridge shooting 190 grn ABLER amo. The scope is a 3-9 Leupold. I really like my 300 win mag shooting 190 grn ABLR... Hope this helps
Oh I’m sure it’s bin achieved before !!
I'm sure it has too I just haven't come across anyone who has. If you find someone it would be time to start a group who have done the same.
A real hunter uses his hands!
Good Luck
How can you hit 3vitals when he’s facing away from the shooter
That comment came from by my buddy he got a bit excited, I didn't have the heart to tell him he missed the last shot.. Great observation by the way.
what gun was that
Proof Research Tach II 308 with leupold Scope.
Anybody know what brand their tent is???
Brent thank you for inquiring. The tent is called an Arctic Oven and it's the warmest tent you can get your hands on. The tent is a bit heavy at 65lbs but as a pilot I don't mind flying it in due it's warmth.
You’re awesome thank you for the reply!
Is it just me or does he look like a spitting image of Tim Wells?
If you put up a version without music I bet your views would double of not triple
I understand and have been told this before. All I can say is the music is a reflection of how I felt out in the field when I produced the videos show. Thank you for informing me.
What does "whispered in his ear mean?"
We were using a silencer on the rifle.
Water nap🥸
I enjoyed the video. A Bull Moose hunt is on the bucket list for many hunters. But that background music used in the video is awful. It's like music from a 1986 Winnebago RV promotional video.....but worse.
Thank you for your comment. As the producer and hunter in this production I can truly say even I look back to my older video productions and think to myself the same thing. One of the most basic (rookie) issues for editors is having the music too loud. In this production I used music that made me feel like I did on the hunt and understand we all walk to a different tune. Be safe and happy hunting Troy
Eish, how many shots do you need to make a kill.
I have been giving my friend crap about that every since. I told him not to shoot anymore. I think he was worried about the moose running into the nearby river
Did you use potatoes for microphones?
We use a Lavalier mic with a waist hookup and a boom mic for everything els.
The first shot was a good one and was deadly. The last two most likely were gut shots. Bad angle and should have waited or not shoot at all. Inexperience got the best of you.
My buddy was the shooter and actually missed the last shot. He was trying to drop him before getting close to water not visible in the footage. Second shot should have been a spin drop shot but ended up in the hump. We are still razzing him... Figured is was his nerves getting the best of him since this pull ended up being 71 1/2 inches wide. Thanks for your comment Troy
@@60InchClub, 71 1/2 will also have my knees shaking. Great footage, thank you for sharing.
never before! because old timers had class
I grew up hunting with "old Timers".
me too, blue does extra bucks and stags. pruning the garden
Check out "LIVIN FOR THE RUT" some sweet footage coming
I will check it out, thank you..
👍
I don't really understand why you need to end the life of a beautiful Moose , so you can have his antlers . Sad life , sad ending . How many bullets to kill at 12:03 ?
In Alaska we hunt moose to feed our families just like most folks buy beef at the store. Be harvesting the "OLD" bulls this perpetuates the species allowing the bulls to pass on their genes before we harvest them. Along with providing for our families I love to capture the moments on videos to share for a lifetime. Unlike "meat only hunters" we have the meat butchered for our table fare and then have the giant antlers taxidermy professionally to hang in our homes. I go another step further to produce these filmes to share my experiences with everyone for training or maybe to live somehow vicariously through our blessed hunts. Thanks for sharing your concerns and allowing me to explain. Respectfully Troy
Two 70 foot mousse 70’ that’s foot. this is 70” inch
D 357 I apologize for the "typo" I will certainly fix that.
Until you've removed moose from water or a swamp and carried them overland to a helpful area.......you have no idea how much work these boys had on their hands after the rifles fired. Yikes.
Thank you for your expertise in this area because a moose can be upwards 1400 - 1700 pounds and 7 feet tall at the hump. It is a HUGE undertaking packing one out let alone having one go down in deep water. Troy
I would think a come-along (cable winch puller) would be a must have for a moose hunt.
Why 2 more shots it was dead on its feet
My friend was promoting WhisperTech silencer and he didn't want to take any chances due to the river so close and just out of the picture.
Of course, all that matters is the size of the antlers.
Ron the area we hunted in this video had antler restrictions in place by fish and game such as a minimum of 50 inches wide rack and no less than 4 browtiens on at least one side. Typically a 60" bull normally has 200lbs more meat over a smaller bull say in the 40" range. The moose in this area die of old age. Thanks for your comment Troy
I'm a hunter but not sure I see any difference between your seeing an animal from the car analogy and using your plane to scout. I understand you can't hunt the same day you fly but but your using the plane to find them.
You should probably leave your truck behind then. In Alaska 99% of the state is inaccessible without a plane.
I thought spotting game from the plane and then hunting it was illegal ?????
You are correct, this video talks about and clearly states that. You cannot hunt same day airborne and we support that law 100%.
You’re a trophy hunter?
Nicolas Etapp on this hunt we were lucky enough to harvested the first bulls we called in. I will say for all of us, “ the moose shown in this production fed three entire families for the winter and longer. I wish YouTub would allow me to show pictures of our full freezer with the rack leaning up against it.
What r the rules on using an airplane to locate moose
Can’t fly and hunt the same day
Pretty Much!
Pursuing game with not knowing where they are is hunting, flying around for hours looking for them is like flipping through a catalog
CaribouAu thank you for your input. Only one tenth of one percent of Alaska is accessible by road so the airplane is the “vehicle “ needed to get out into Alaska’s remote hunting grounds. I was flying to our favorite remote fishing area when I found this hunting location. As the movie clearly shows we called these moose within 150 yards from camp with two only 30 yards from the tent and that isn’t easy. Unlike road hunting with vehicles or ATV.s or Boat’s a person cannot hunt the same day airborne therefore it’s certainly is not as easy as “ordering “ from a catalog. .
3 shots? 3?!?! My son is smart enough to know that any animal only needs 1 good lung shot. 3 shot!? What a piece of work.
HardRockMiner thank you for your comment. After 30 years of moose hunting (and just as many moose) across Alaska the biggest concern is shot placement. Second is dropping a 1700 lb moose “before “ it reaches deep water and the river was only 50 yards away with a slew (3 feet of water) just behind it... Everyone who has done any amount of moose hunting knows this... Have you ever butchered a moose in chest deep water before? I guarantee you will NEVER wish to do it again... If you ever decide to hunt brown bears or moose... one shot is NEVER recommended....
@@60InchClub - I'm a 52 year old red blooded Canadian boy and I've shot more moose than I can honestly count. 2 have take more than 1 shot. If you place the shot in the right place and dont chase the animal he wont go more than 50 metres before laying down and dying. To see a grown man who uses what may as well be an RPG 3times on a single animal that isn't even walking away anymore is something that only the greenest of hunters would do. Maybe try telling your clients to wait for the ok before firing more than 1 shot? That's what we tell our clients when we take them hunting big game.
HardRockMiner we can agree to disagree. Second of all “the rifle “ you call an RPG was a 308. And thirdly, the guys depicted in this video are my friends, not clients. If shooting an animal once without the animal suffering works for you then I’m happy for you. As for me and my family, we will shoot again if it stands there as long as this one did.
@@60InchClub - Well that was my mistake. I thought somebody in the group was a professional hunter. My apologies.
HardRockMiner since you mistaken a 308 for a RPG that pretty much speaks volumes for you... I also hold an Alaska guide license and all three of us are federally licensed pilots ( that speaks for itself) I’m amazed how I can share one of our many hunts to fellow brothers and sisters in the hunting world and you focus on 3 shots with nothing but animosity. In today’s society us hunters need to stick together and put pride aside...
Try using a sled and comealong for hauling meat. Your back will thank you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us it's much appreciated.

So where do the Antlers go. Ontop of the Plane or Hang it under the Plane. Or them?
We tie them to the wing struts under one wing, usually on the left side. I have tied two moose antlers on both sides and flew them both out at the same time.
Forgot to say there’s a little vid of him on my channel, check him out if ya get chance. Just subbed too. Great vid really enjoyed watching. Cheers
always respect yr kill
Yes, Agreed !
Think you need more gun! Or at least more cartridge. Very marginal lethality with that suppressor at that range>
MeatSpear we normally recommend using a 300 Win Mag however you can see this 308 did the job. I have seen 7MM have trouble dropping a moose.
I'm proud to call myself a hunter and fisherman. This however is conspicuous consumption.
It's called food on our dinner tables , get over it...
really?
no so hard to do when you have your own planes for scouting lol but good video
I have been hunting over two decades for moose with a plane, this hunt was the one and ONLY time we had ever had success like this. So to answer your question: YES!!!!! this is very hard to to achieve....
So not only do you gotta clean it you're also gonna be wet. Better get a fire start Ed.
One of the tricks we use is breathable chest waders and / or rain gear while processing all critters in Alaska. Trust me you will love this trick and all you need to do afterwards is wade out into the river to rinse off. Also be sure to bring rubber paint gloves to peal off when finished. Afterwards you wont even know (Smell-bloody) you spent 2 hours processing a giant moose-bear-carabou. I hope this helps everyone reading this because it's been a game changer for me /us... Troy
Gong show-3 shots at 150 yards? Not worth celebrating boys-one shot drop is the goal.
If we wanted a “one shot drop” we easily could have shot the bull in the next, however risky that close to the river you Dont see or the bog close by. One in the boiler first then one shot drop is how it's done in “true wilderness”...
As a lifelong hunter, it seems very unlikely 3 huge bulls after scouting by flying. That's bullshit.
Scouting is the "KEY" to all success weather it's by ATV, Vehicle, or plane. This production is proof it's possible... Also this wasn't the first time me and my friend have taken three moose from ONE CAMP, one hunt, or one year...
Green is not your color and foul language doesn't make your point more effective but rather just the opposite.
Must be Sweet to have a healthy moose population and not have to win the lottery for a hunt like we have here in Ontario! The moose have and continue to be sooo mismanaged I see them extinct as a hunting species within 20 years! Too many Black bears mostly and wolves but the bear is the worst culprit next to mismanagement!
Trace Williams thank you for your comment and understanding mismanagement is critical to change. We too have areas of the same and do our best to call people out. Over all Alaska does a great job and honestly keeping foreign states AND federal government out of Alaska management is crucial.
money can buy you a moose!
Tell that to someone who was unsuccessful.
Nice hunt, but the shooter towards the 33 min mark should have hit that Moose struggling in the water again right away. A moment to us is an eternity to a wounded and struggling animal. He should have put it out of its misery right away rather than strutting around pumping his chest.
Thank you for pointing this out and to answer your question.. I did shoot the moose a second time and put it out of it's misery, problem is people don't want to see extra shots especially on networks where it's forbidden. I know I don't... As for "pumping my chest" I was ecstatic to have harvested the biggest giant moose of my life at that time, not to mention called it from 4 miles away... I will NOT apologize for hunting and putting food on the table for my family AND spending thousands of dollars preserving that beautiful moose for the rest of my lifetime...
why do hunters poke the animal with their gun look at its eyes if it is open it is dead
joe bata I have had moose jump up eyes wide open just feet away. You can poke an animal without him moving but if there is any life left when you touch their eye it will flicker. The truth of the matter is, my father taught me to do it that way. 😜.
If you guys are TROPHY hunting, and don't need the food, you all should go to JAIL.
Hey....did you bother to read the comments ?? If you did, you wouldn't of typed an ignorant response. They used a plane the bring out the 1400lbs of meat in multiple trips. The more you know.....
Stfu
Thank you for your response it is greatly appreciated...
in Canada we don't hunt with planes .We track and call and hunt like men .
Furniture Recycle we don’t hunt with planes either we use them to get to our destination. As the video clearly shows we called all these bulls within 150 yards of our camp. Unless you hunt from from home everyone of us uses some kind of vehicle and the plane is no different. Alaska has laws in place and one of them is you cannot hunt the same day you fly so we have to Wait until the next day unlike people using trucks, boats or ATV’s or horses.
Canadian Hunter here, don't pay attention to the haters, they are jealous because they don't have a plane or cannot access remote areas like this and...because you kept your special place a secret. Share with nobody = doing you a favor and...the moose a favor. I know how the Canadian hunters hunt moose here they drive around until they find one close to the road. Few do it the right way very few!! 1 shot in the head or neck is ethical, 1 perfectly placed shot is ethical for a whitetail but moose simply need more than 1 in most cases why take the chance that's rule #1 in ethics be sure!
