2 point bull moose .oct.16/2011

[BIGHUNTERFISH]

My friend Adam and I made plans to do a little deer hunting last Sunday in the Princeton area .We left my house at 500 am and by 715 we are in an area that I know holds a good population of deer.I drove to the top of a cut block where I had shot 2 bucks in the past.I told Adam to glass and still hunt the block and that in a few hours I would pick him up at the bottom.I drove my truck up another road that had some good cut blocks .I reached the end of the road and spent the next 20 minutes glassing with out seeing anything.I turned around and headed back on the road in which I had just came up.I drove about a 1/2 k and came around a corner and look up into this large cut block and see a moose standing broad side at about 200 yards up the block.I can see through the binoculars that he is a small bull and I lower the passenger side window and slide my spotting scope onto the window mount.The bull is locked onto my truck at this time and seems to be staring right at me,the spotting scopes confirms clearly that he has a perfect 2 point antler on one side and is missing the other antler completely.I slide out of my truck and put a magazine in the Browning X.bolt and chamber a round .I see a stump on the side of the road and quietly move over to get a shot.I take my jacket and place it on top of the stump and aim right behind the mooses shoulder .The shot hits its mark and the moose staggers about 30 feet when I let another one fly and the moose goes down like a sack of potatos.I wait about 10 minutes and slowly make my way up the cut block and find the dead moose.I head back to my truck quickly and drive to pick up my friend and tell him the story.We both make it back to the moose within a half hour and field dress and cut the moose in half for a very hard drag back to the truck.The moose was shot with a 30/06 and the cheap 150 grain Winchester power point bullets.I t was a very fun day and I would like to thank my friend Andy who helped us skin the moose in my garage.:-D

Atta boy BHF! Don't tell Bartell and Gatehouse that you use cheapo ammo and it still kills a moose! They'll give you an infraction for saying that! :D
