Well, a certain kid just proved the 7x57 is inadequate on moose. Sunday at sunset we found his moose and he was forced to shoot offhand at an alarmed moose at about 70 yards. She went 6' at the shot.
Straight down!
I think the bullet stayed in her, but it has not been found. The moose died in a lake... The choice was take the shot presented or go without for now.... And the pack was non-existant... She wheeled to face him and Riley whacked the big old girl right between the headlights.
Then the situation unfolded such that we were forced to call for help at about 11:30. CWH2 and his wife showed up ready to work and they got after all manner of unkind obstacles.
We tossed the last piece of meat in the boat at 4AM and arrived home at 5... M was at work 2 hours later...
Maybe see abuot posting some pics later, or maybe we can get them to make a regular post elsewhere. art
