Hey guys! :D Been lurking on the forum for a few days now, wanted to share my last couple weeks with y'all!
This year, I got an LEH Shared Hunt for a bull moose in Region 4. My Dad, the other member on the shared hunt, decided he wasn't hunting at all this year, so I went out on Thanksgiving day with a couple buddies of mine; one had an elk-tag, the other had a spike/fork bull tag.
Spent most of the day waaaay up in the back-country in some absolutely terrible weather, checking out some excellent area for big moose and never saw a thing. On the way back, we spotted my moose in the middle of the logging road. He wheeled, took off running, I was out of the truck in an instant and at the same point the bull turned and gave me a nice broadside shot as he went to go up the bank.
Best part of it, is all I had on my rifle was my open iron sight as I'd had to remove the scope because my leftmost horizontal crosshair was broken off the main part. Was a 70 yard shot and I nailed him.

Not the most gigantic bull, I know, but he's a beauty and will be goood eating!
