Default RE: Best Caliber for Moose?

well here is my two cents worth , i may not be much of a turkey hunter but a big game hunter i am . i have seen guys with a 300 rum and not be able to hit jack at 50 yard scared has hell of the wepon i may not have kill many moose but i have been in on alot of dogging and been on more kill sites of moose than whay you guys may see in your life time . that said im not bragging (mabey just a little) i have seen more moose shot with a 44 rem mag carbine then enuff especially when guys are dogging or walking thru a swamp with iron sites . now i would love to see a guy with a 300 rum with a 3-9 get the sites on a big old box car in the woods . now if you are hunting out in the open then yes a 300rum is exellent and a 44 is junk you have to know where you are hunting and conditions you are hutning in before you pack your rifle for that day . moose are very easy to kill on in the boiler room and it is game over . there will to live does not seem as strong as a deer . the 7mm08 is almost identcal as a 30 06 if you take your gun out and can shoot it dont let any one tell you it wont kill moose or deer ect ect .
i have seen a guy shoot one with a 243 105 grain nosler partition . . i have ranted enuff and expect to get some flack over this. i thought hunting was getting close to your animal not shooting it at 500 frigen yards . i see guy on tv shooting elk from ridge top to ridge top and it makes me sick that is not hunting that is shooting plain and simple
