Well that was a short moose hunting trip..only one night.

Day one: Seen 10 deer but everyone was a doe.Also seen a cow and calf moose but junior had a bull draw.

Then just before dark we spotted a young bull but he gave us the slip....bummer.

Day two: Got up at the crack of dark and waited for light so we could go back to where we seen the young bull the night before.

Then just 30 minutes after legal shooting light we spotted this bull.No he's not a huge one but when it takes you 4-5 years to draw a bull tag (353) well you kinda have to take what comes your way,right?

Anyways junior made a great 125 yard offhand shot and took out both lungs.moose was punch drunk but still trying to walk away.He didn't get far after junior gave him a second shot to the back off the head tho. ;)
And as an added bonus we were able to drive the truck right up to him,gotta love that.

So that's it for this years moose but the good news is that we can now set up elk camp in 438...woohoo ;D

Nice shooting, Jr.

What kind of rifle is that? I've worked with some Maine folks and their style moose hunting is unique.

Good shooting.

Younger is tastier

Junior is shooting a Browning A-bolt (left hand) in .30-06 with Winchester 180 grain ballistic silver tips.

I bought him that rifle for his 14th birthday and that was 24 years ago.Yes it has served him well.

Now it's off to elk camp so wish us luck.

Good luck

Now that's what I call a nice rack of ribs.

great job very nice moose tasty

My avatar tells me this is all very disturbing.
