I haven't taken a moose in archery yet, I've left that to my .338 mag. It is something though, whether it is elk or moose to come face to face with an animal in the wild that is so much bigger than you. The spiker that I harvested was done at 15 yards. Right after the arrow left the trigger (it couldn't have been past the bow) there was an incredible bugal that came from behind me. I smoked the spiker perfectly so I knew he was going to go down. I watched him for about 30 yards till I lost him in the trees (seemed like forever but was most likely just a couple of seconds) and then I looked over my left shoulder to see a huge 5x5 maybe 30 yards behind me. The wind was from my left so somehow I had gotten between the 2 of them. The big brute had just watched the whole thing. After I spotted him he watched me for a few seconds more and then just turned and walked casually back further into the bush. The spiker had gone only about 10 yards from where I lost sight of him. All together one hell of an experience. I was ML hunting in Chatfield in 2002 behind a ground blind. There was a huge crashing and thrashing in front of me coming closer and closer real fast. I shouldered the ML figuring a big buck was going to pop out of the bush. Instead of a buck a big bull moose come out 20 yards in front of me. He had to have hadat least a 50 inch spread. I would have loved to have had an archery ticket but I could only watch. I think he must have been pissed at something for he just stood there snorting and thrashing. I really thought he was going to put the head down and have at me. He continued on his way though passing me by no more than 10 yards. It took about 2 days for my heart to stop pounding. Have you ever harvested a moose during archery? It's one thing I would like to try someday but be absolutely honest it does seem scary. Let me know.
