2x2 moose down
so i Took a day off to catch up on sleep and hang with the family. Next morning I'm out solo again.. out calling, hiking and into my honey hole block calling... what's that?? a answer?? yep sure enough wuh wuh wuh .. bull coming?? sit down and hear he coming at a run towards me through heavy willow... no paddles that's good.... comes into 70-80 yards facing me in heavy heavy willow, 10 more yards and i will be able to ID him.... what? he turns and silently leaves!!! wind was swirling and he must have winded me!!! home i go.
next morning grab my best friend and head back out to this spot with the small bull. As per google earth we take a back hike into the top side of the valley where there is better visibility and sit and start calling. 30 minutes nothing...45 nothing... then......waaaaaaah waaaaaaah cow calling?? WTF this cow continues calling constantly for 20 minutes? we decide to hike in from the other side again to see if a bull comes into her, end result, no moose!
we head out to the truck, it's 9:30am.. jump in go for a driving, head up this road that goes by a swamp..... MOOSE.... TWO MOOSE.. out we go.... cow......not again, CALF!!! now i'm getting annoyed, i say where are the small 2pt's that are usually hanging around?? we look around.. nothing anywhere! back to the truck, drive ahead to turn around and head home and MOOSE... HOLY S****T 2 POINT!! out of the truck.. 50 yards and he's running.. i grunt, he stops BOOM.. humps up starts running, i grunt he stops.. BOOM...he humps up again and starts walking slowly towards the swamp!! NO NOT THE SWAMP.. 1 to the hump and it's all over! my 1st ever 2 pt.. they do exist, lol...
so that get's you up to date on my season to date... now onto helping my best friend and brother get their moose and then..... BIG MULEY TIME!!!
the 300 WSM 165gr TSX's performed great at 50 yards, lol.. 3/4" entry holes, both shots hitting ribs and destroying lungs and exiting 3 inches apart with big bleeding 2-3" exit holes.
Time waits for no one, Hunt Now!
