    Nothing quite like shooting a moose in the guts, and when you do a head on guess where your bullet is going?

    Depends on his actions... 200 yards is simple for me. But so is getting him closer.. if he is coming amd the wind is good he will come closer..that said i shoot a 338 RUM.
    I wpuld end for end him

    As well never call from a spot you dont have a rockin rest

    I find I shoot better off hand if the game is moving.

    If you are a confident AND skilled shot (the two can be mutually exclusive...), know the capabilities of your rifle/cartridge combo, the shot presentation allows for penetration to the vitals, and have a good rest, I say take the shot and know that the beast will likely turn for a follow up shot, if not drop. If you're using something like a TSX/TTSX, Partition, bonded core, that bullet will penetrate plenty.

    Been there, fired one 160 accubond from 7mm Center of brisket dropped like a sack of hammers, ate the steaks all winter and the rest is just a memory

    if you feel confident - shoot, if not...try to get closer...
    most of the time I know if I will make the shot when I raise the gun...
