Three hours into a week long moose/elk hunt and we had our moose down. Not a big bull, but very very tasty! ![[Linked Image]](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3928/15438147636_0d91e73edc_b.jpg) SS

Well done.
That leaves a full-week-celebration of Alley Kat and Wild Rose?

I'm on the left and it was my tag. I used a Ruger M77 in .30-06 with 180 grain Nosler Partitions.
We walked up to an old oil well site and heard a cow moose call. This bull then ran up out of a depression where he was drinking water. Two rounds through the lungs, both exiting on the other side. Range was about 150 yards or so.

Congratulations! And I agree definitely tasty.
Three hours and moose down, wow. I spent over three weeks looking for a shooter. And did not find. To be continued next season.

Do you have antler restrictions or is it "any bull"?
And, congrats!

No restrictions here. It's a draw system for bull, cow, and calf depending on the zone. I had to build priority for 5 years for this zone and I was one of the few "5's" that got drawn.

Lotta smiling going on. What do you mean by build priority?

He is referring to building points, i.e. it took 5yrs to get drawn. Cheers NC

Hey Cat. No elk. Actually not a lot of other critters. 3 mule deer and a young black bear trying to eat our moose on the meat pole the morning we were packing up.
ET, sorry for our success... Haha.
