Well my brother finally got drawn for a shared hunt 7-9 Bull moose this year with 2 buddy's!! 1st moose draw in our family in 15 years!! so obviously he wanted to make good on it!!
He hunted hard, camped out for a week, weekends, morning hikes, afternoon hikes, calling ........ and after 6 weeks of only seeing 2 bulls, one way off and bolted and another shot by his buddy after he went home after a week of hunting he had still not connected on a bull!!
he had shot a beauty 5x7 bull elk earlier locally but he really wanted his moose!!
well tonight was the night, out hunting all day with his group, at 4pm, tones of fresh tracks up and down an old road in the fresh snow!!! and fresh shavings from rubbing on top of the snow!! go around corner...... 50 yards up?? whats that small black spot in the trees?? gun up, scope..... PADDLE!!! bull has head and neck sticking out from behind a tree, BOOM!! the ruger 30-06 sends a 165gr accubond into his neck and the big guy back down into his bed he stood up from!!!!
nice bull for a local PG Bull!! great year so far for me and my bro.. we both took nice bull moose in the 40+ inch range and he the bull elk and me my cow elk!!! now onto big bucks :)
