Well sunday evening I went out moose huntin, I didnt see any moose on the way in to my favrite huntin spot. So I parked my quad in the lucky spot, and waited for dusk, about 1/2 hour befor dusk I saw a cow sneakin past, but no bulls, so I was just sat back and enjoyed to cool lookin sunset. Then just befor dark 2 bulls came slinkin into the corner of the field out of the swap. It was way to far for a shot, and I was runnin low on time, so I fired up the bike and cut a few hundred yards off the shot. The bulls strted to get alittle nervice, so I snuck up alittle closer on foot and waited for the bigger bodied of the 2 bulls to turn broad side, and took my shot, it was still a long shot and I was alittle worried as he started slowly walkin back towards the swap, and I was not lookin forward to tryin to find him in the swamp in the dark. So I aimed betwean the horns and took a second shot, he droped. He was alittle farther away than I thought and I hit low but at least he was down and on the way to the freezer. It all worked out well and I didnt loose hardly any meat dispite my poor second shot. Here are a few pix of him after I got home, sorry no in the bush pix just cause I was in a hurry to get him out befor it got way to dark, I also broke off one horn pullin him out. The bulls horns are still in velvet and are prity soft still.    Britt stayed up into the wee hours helpin me gut and skin the moose, she ran the loaher and past tools like a pro. |

I was usin my trusty rusty old 300mag, shootin home rolled 180g barns X bullets Congrats on the moose! Those Barnes X are good bullets. I have been loading them for a coworker to use in his 30-06. He has had excellent results. And when he gets a moose in his cross hairs he makes sure to test more than a couple bullets.... ;D I cant get them to shoot well in my 7mm-08Rem at all. And they are too expensive to spend a lot of time chasing a perfect load. |

And they are too expensive to spend a lot of time chasing a perfect load. I had a 308 that would throw barns x bullets all over the place too, I used to shoot them out of my other rifles but since I usualy only shoot moose and elk with my 300 I just load them for that rifle. I found the wifes 7mm-08 loves 140g nosler balistic tips, actuly I havent found one of my guns that wont shoot BT nicly, they must just be a likeable bullet ;D |
