I think a lot of bronko's choice of weapon is gonna depend on what his guide has to say about what he can expect for a shot, providing he draws a tag and chooses to hire an outfitter/guide. I know if I was lucky enough to draw a tag and planned on spending a fair bit of $$, I would source out a very reputable guide that could put me within ML range of a Moose if that's what I exclusively chose to use. But if I were to just go up there and "wing it" by checking the counties that have the highest Moose concentrations and relying on "lady luck"... I would bring along a CF rifle.

I would love to take a Moose with a black powder rifle, but we live in a real world where your dreams very seldom come true. It's not like walking out into familiar woods and picking a choice spot you can expect to see deer travel through.

Not to mention that outfitters/guides many times have access to private tracts of land that the average Joe can't hunt. Just my $.02
