Feeling like a pimp
Thanks for sharing your storey! Congrats on the nice bull!
I like drinking beer and whiskey, shooting guns, jetboating, love a nice rack and a tight line, I am simply a sophisticated redneck...

Good writeup! Nice bull! Congratulations!
What rifle and scope combo are you using? What level of accuracy are you getting from your load at 500 yards and what criteria do you use to decide on 500 being your maximum for moose? Not looking to find any faults, just curious.

Glad to say I have hunted Northern BC
Simon Fraser had pretty good judgement on what he found in BC
wishing I was in the bush
Rifle is a factory browning x-bolt with a Nikon Monarch 4-16*42 BDC scope. I've found any shot passed 300 yards there can not be any wind, I mean zero for me to take as well as bright lighting, the scope I have is crystal clear when the light is good but fading and first light it's only ok. There has to be a rest where I can have the butt of the stock resting as well as the bipods out. I need to take the time to ensure the gun and target aren't moving. The drop between 400 and 500 is large, (roughly 19 inches) but gets significantly higher past 500. As well as energy (ft/lb) drops well below 2000. Practice, practice and more practice.
This is the furthest I've shot an animal. Others have been 446- moose and several 350 yard deer. I've never lost an animal I've taken last 300. I have lost one shooting from 148 yards before.
I hunt and gather

Haven't measured the spread yet but in my hands I'm guessing 36-38" wide. Not o er massive but a great cariboo bull
