Of course not. That's a New England moose.

Moose are somewhere!

[Linked Image]

There they are! (How could you miss those big black donkeys?)

See the bull(s)?

Hey Irma, I'm pretty sure that two-legged critter up yonder in the trees ain't supposed to be in our neighborhood!

Steps to moose hunting (once you are legal to do so):

1. Find moose to shoot. This is the fun/frustrating part.

2. Shoot moose.
(Possibly re-find moose..... )

3. Dress/ "recover" moose. This is the "work" part.

My last moose was 3 seasons ago - a Noatak River 3 year old. Not a particularly difficult #3, and a danged good no-pressure hunt. I eased the Achilles ashore 30 yards from my apartment an hour before the snowstorm hit. The lagoon was frozen over the next morning. That makes a guy feel warm all over.... a rubber boat just doesn't make a good ice-breaker. smile

Photo-bucket ain't cooperating tonight.... but I've posted the pics before, anyway.

The caribou have been cooperating since - they are much easier to deal with..... smile

Klik,

You must be able to find some massive sheds that time of year I would think...
The moose in those pictures look pretty big.

358 Norma Magnum has been my caliber of choice. 250 Partitions now though I used Speer 250 Hot-cores on my moose and they work too.

Some great pictures and stories in this thread. Never hunted moose but it looks like a lot of fun and work. Good advise to bring 12 of your friends to help pack it out.

I started shooting moose with a Winchester Model 670A in 3006 and Federal blue box 180's. Worked fine critters died. Then I built a 338wm about 6 years ago and that's been killing them since then.

I'm a freezer hunter so most of mine have been spike bulls although one of these days I'm going to go after a big one.

This is the first one I nailed with my 338wm. The weather had just turned two days before from kind of too warm to downright nippy and the game started moving.

Then the snow came.

There were these.... February 3, some barely poking up out of the snow, some frozen into the river's surface, and the winter season which requires antlered bulls only closed on January 31. The season is one month, some animals obviously lose legal status at varying times during that period. These look to have come from four different animals.

The work starts...0 dark 30 hours.

The last pack of 9 total packs... only 3/4 mile one way. 0900 the next morning. The meat was all in by 0300. Sometimes, a man's gotta sleep bloody, sweaty and dirty; the horns can wait...

.338 Winny with a 200 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip. Called in and taken at 40 yards. Was light out when I shot him, and dark 10 minutes later.


This fella's picture was snapped a couple of years ago. Some one here will know the area...at least Las would. It's definately one to aspire to...

best luck on your hunt prospects,
