Wife was drawn for dm 413 here in Alaska it's pretty much a winter hunt season starts 1 November. Anyhow weather cooperated today it was a balmy 19 degrees momma don't do single digit hunting lol. Pretty anti climatic we spotted the moose, we closed the distance get her ( wife) to within 350 yds. I get the shooting sticks setup tell her put crosshairs right in its shoulder. She shoots I hear the whack of the bullet cow runs 100yds falls over dead. Rifle used: model 70 classic in a 280 Remington using 150gr ballistic tip
, 58.5 gr h4831

What a Ballistic Tip? Just joking, congrats to her on a nice fat cow.

I know can't use ballistic tips on moose 😁.. unless you are a women or kid lol.. this was probably one of the biggest cows I seen in a long time

Congrats to her! Who shot the one last year? Daughter?

Congrats on the moose. Sounds like it all worked perfect.

Congratulations

7mm BTs strike again!

And some here think they are inadequate for deer She does look to be really big, you guys are going to eat well this winter.

Nice, congrats to the wife.

Daughter got one last year.. she still has a tag and we will try and fill it this weekend. She could of filled it but we already this moose and it was getting dark and did not feel like screwing around with another moose.

That's what is great about hunting with women and kids, they don't get hung up on stupid stuff, they just enjoy the hunt.

Congrats to all and good luck on the daughters.

Thanks! My daughter uses regular ol 140gr hornady btsp in her 270 Winchester for moose... I always enjoy the threads on what bullet I should use for whatever..

Cut and wrap. Way to go lady.

I got the load from one of muledeers old threads I used a wlrm primer with this load... it being cold as heck right now

Congrats!!

Fish and game aged her at 9yrs old

Nice work.. Cow moose are awesome eating!

Any moose is good eating! It's way better than elk

Dropped the lower jaw off at fish and game they aged her around 9 yrs old. Roughly 500lbs of meat..

Bravo!!!!!!!

Holy crap!

Outstanding. Good job and congrats.

A few Years agoy dad use that same combo(.280 150 BT) on an ancient cow elk and bang flopped it....

He was like 73 at the time so he fits in at the Women and Childrens table

Good job. Congrats to the wife. I can hope Carolyn could do the same if we ever get moved up.

Just put a moose stew in the crockpot down here.


At least I won't hamstring Carolyn with a ballistic tip. LOL. She can use the 338-06 with 210 ttsx. No BTs in this family. LOL.

I think I still need to build a 280AI just because.

Thanks Mart!! We went out today headed up to zero lake all we managed to do was freeze our rear ends off😁. Saw no Moose..

Congrats! Looks like a big cow in that tiny picture!

Aged 9yrs by fish and game 500 lbs of meat so decent size cow 😁
