Copy that Bob. Gonna go eastside rifle next year, if no tags are drawn I’ll be stuck huntin spikes as well, which I won’t. Got a pile of “bull” points and several “ big bull” so I’ll roll the dice. Headed up to BC for moose, so unless I draw a bull tag I won’t take vacation to hunt spikes. The whelen or my 338 will be headed north for moose. 👍
Good stuff, Jud. The .35 or .338 will, of course, work just fine. I killed my bull moose this year on the edge of thick bush, the kind where you don't want to "hump 'em up and watch 'em run". I used a 7-08 and 140 TTSX. Give me a bullet that digs, and I'm happy hunting elk and moose with anything from 6.5 CM on up. I don't hunt in the rainforest jungle like around your AO, but as the critter count has risen over the years, for what I do, I can't tell much of a difference between legal cartridges. Bullets, yes, but most cartridges seem to do about the same thing once the bullet hits flesh. That's just my experience, and YMMV.
