RE: TerryM Moose
Once again Skeeter thanks for the help posting photos. This moose was taken on my first morning of the hunt. Conditions were unusually warm in fact we were swarmed with black flies and mosquitos. It was so warm we could not cool the moose down enough and ended up leaving the day after to save the meat ( which turned out fabulous). It was aged as a 2 1/2 yr old bull by the MNR. Hunted a clear cut at first light and basically had no moose moving at all. So at 7.00 am I started calling (cow call) and got an immediate response. He hung up on me a couple of times and I had to recall a couple of times but on the last call he just came trotting in. At a little over 100 yds he was working his way down wind from me so I dropped him with 1 shot which was a high shoulder which clipped the bottom of the spine. We had him quartered and in camp by 1.00 pm first day of the hunt. First moose with my 7mm rem mag ( i used a .338 for years) and I was quite pleased with the results. Matter of fact I am rapidly becoming a big fan of the 7 mag. So far I have taken 2 bull caribou, 1 moose, and 2 pronghorn with it and everything drops in thier tracks with 1 shot. Can't ask for much more than that. Again Skeeter, thanks for the help!
