Nice one Pat. The more dead critter I see you pile up with that 6.5... the more I want one

What caliber, rifle, bullet? 6.5 SAUM, 130gr JLK. Shot was 277 meters....one behind his left shoulder, broadside. He took two steps. Pat Congratulations on your moose! Like most of the pics you post, I'm jealous. This just reinforces what you've already told me about the effectiveness of the 6.5mm 130grn JLK as a hunting bullet. Any other comments you can offer regarding bullet performance? Did you get an exit? David

That's a dandy Shiras moose and I like your style. Calling predators or fishing a bit after putting a big critter down is some of the most pleasurable time afield. Not sure why but it is extra good.
Congratulations!

Good work.
Guess that must mean a 6.5 Swede should be adequate for an elk?

Well done, Pat!
Apparently there is hope for somebody whose been putting in just about as long--though I did get to be chief packer on my wife's two Montana moose....

Congrats Pat. Very nice moose and as per always, great pictures. Nice of him to pose as such, grin.
Best of luck with the goat when the time comes. Not sure what you're thinking with regard to the goat mount, but I've always told myself I would do a half-body or at least a modified shoulder mount (not sure what they're called) that included a good portion of the chaps (front legs).
Apologize for getting a bit off topic, beautiful trophy.

Awesome bull Pat. Of course there was no doubt that would happen. When are you going to start your goat hunt?

Nice moose Pat! I'd love to see a few more angles on him. They are a neat critter, for sure. I love calling them, and their general demeanor when in an undisturbed mode.
They can be super good eats, so I hope you freezer is full of goodness!
Matt

Awesome bull Pat. Of course there was no doubt that would happen. When are you going to start your goat hunt? Heading into the back country on October 7th to spend eight days looking for the right goat. Hair will be really good. Hopefully the weather holds....always a chance of getting snowed out that time of year. I'll stay until I kill one.
