I finished off a wounded Bull moose at 10 paces with my .30-30. Things were about to turn ugly but the .30-30 solved the problem. It was snowing sideways and didn't want to get light on the last day of Vermonts 2003 Moose season. I spotted the Bull in a cut 150 yards out and I had a heck of a time seeing him in the scope of my .30-06 given the conditions. I touched it off and he appeared to be hit hard but he ran into a thicket. I went back to the truck to get the open sight .30-30 and went to dig him out. I came upon him bedded at ten paces. He came to his feet and began lowering his head. Since I was higher than he was I shot down on his spine which dropped him. I then walked around side of him and put another in his heart. His Cow stood by and watched all this. She also watched me gut him.
