Default 1st Archery Moose!!

Here is a pic of my first archery Moose. Called him in and he grunted all the way in from about 500 yards out. Shot him at just under 20 feet. Complete pass through(lungs) using a 380 gr Gold Tip tipped with 125 gr Wasp Hammer SST.
The arrow hit ribs on way in and out 2 blades were really dull and slightly bent. The 3rd blade was still in near perfect condition. Just goes to show you all the hype about arrow weight is just that....HYPE. Very light arrow passed through and found it 30 yards on the other side of Moose. He initially only ran about 15 feet than stood there for about 20-30 seconds than took off but only made it about 20 more yards and piled up.

Most exciting hunting experience I have ever had...

corey that is a big accomplishment with a bow, if I ever get rich I hope to travel north one day and stick a moose. What did he weigh dressed?

Hell yeah, that' s awesome! I had one just a little bigger than that come in on the last night of my hunt this year but he was JUST a little bit too far for a shot. A guy I was hunting with ended up shooting one from the exact spot I had been sitting in about 3 days later.

Thanks guys.


We ended up with about 280 pounds de-boned. The meat is very tender and tasty too. I only hope to be as fortunate next year.
