No Archery hunting for me this year , but we had a successfull rifle hunt.
It took us four days this year due to bad weather , one of the young guys bagged his first Moose with a 300 Win Mag.
The Beast came into the butcher shop at 719 lbs., with a 50" spread.
He was tending a rather loud Cow when I called him over to the kid .
The Bull walked directly towards him down a winter road from 190 yds. away, the kid had the presence of mind to wait till the last minute before he dropped him at 30 yds , only to pop up again , his second shot was 2" beside his first shot ( Dead on ), followed by his third shot , slightly behind the first two. With 2 Magnums in him he still walked away , but the Beast took a turn for the worst ( for him anyway ) when he turned broad side , the last shot in the neck dropped him for good .<img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>
When we reached the kid he was still standing on the road , he said there was no way he was going into the bush to see the Beast by himself .It's a good thing he didn't have to sign any autographs cause it took him several hours and wobbely pops to get him to stop shaking.
