2 weeks ago I made my longest shot ever on a moose...just over 20 yards. Really blew up my average distance of 9 yards. But hey....I'll take it and work harder at getting a closer shot next season. I love smelling them before I shoot them.
I was fortunate to get my 1st moose 2 weeks ago in NL. 300 win mag at 45 yds. I now long to do what Kevin does every year in Alaska. Drop camp DIY. Just have to find a suitable partner to go.
75, 150, 150, 250, 450. Moose have big lungs and take a while to fall over sometimes. My biggest was my first. He was 71" and I shot him with a 7MM twice in the lungs -he didn't even flinch and then twice in the neck..last shot broke his neck. 450 yard shot was after I had climbed a mountain after seeing him from mile away. This was day 7 of a 10 day hunt and I was worn out. My last 4 I used a 338 with 225 gr. The other 4 were all 65" taken in Alaska and BC.
