Moose Down!!!
Last Sunday October 15, Me and Mooseslayer3 went out on a liesurley drive for grouse and if we happend to see a moose or deer it was a bonus!
We drove about 60 km away from our town and had come to the end of a road with a lake on the left hand side and a cut block that continued without a road. About 100 yards Jon (mooseslayer3) spotted a moose, We got out and verified that it was a legal Bull (albiet small)
The bull was 50 away facing head on at us. Neither of us could get a steady shot to drop the bull where he stood. Jon took off towards the cut block to intercept the bull as he was heading towards the timber at the back of the cut block.
When we reached the cut block edge the bull was running away at about 200 yards on a dead run. One Cow call later the bull stoped in his tracks just long enough for Jon to put the crosshairs behind the shoulder of the bull and the 225 grainWinchester Accubonds™ was on the way striking the bull hard. He went 30 yards and piled up!!!
Pictures will follow tomorrow as the camera is going to get developed!
Sorry about the long story
