Mine was 1 moose and 2 whitetail. The Moose was more self defense than hunting. Although I was after him, he spotted me and was after ME. A bull Moose coming down on you wanting to stomp you into a mud hole will convince you to drop him however you can as FAST as you can! I put 2 VERY fast rounds of .30-30 right between his eyes and right in the ridge line of his forehead. I knew I was quick with a lever gun but I thoroughly surprised myself that day. The 2 whitetail, the shoulders were covered by a tree and they were about to get outta there. Like Flags, this was when I was young and halfway stupid and didn't know any better. Hadn't ever come across injured deer yet and the soft spot in my heart for animals was still pretty hard. Once you come across starving and badly injured animals because of hunters stupidity you will mend your ways.
