Long story short, my first Moose hunting trip was successful. got him on the sencond day of an 8 day moose hunt. only got the one. called him in, he walked out of the timber roughly 150 yards up the sismic line, shaking his head licking his lips grunting away, thinking he was gonna get lucky. got to within 75 yards of me and my hunting group 5 of us sitting there waiting. stopped and looked at us like we were an odd bunch of looking cows. popped him right in the chest with a .270 130 gr. nosler partition. he did a 180 dropped, got back up was facing us again just standing there so i hit him again right in the chest so he didnt take off. he did another 180 and dropped right there. we got him at 6 30 at night just starting to get dark, so we climbed over a log ?(ohya we shot him on the other side of the creek 8' wide) to get to him. gutted him propped him on his back with a stick to hold the rib cage open over night in the rain to cool. went back the next day built a bridge and the work began, This being my 3rd kills (deer, bear). was by far the most exciting feeling in the world. i dont know how i will top that rush!! ohya he measured at 49.5" rack. just a small guy.
