Moose hunting is on a draw here so one gets tags few and far between. In 30yrs I've shot only three moose. 1 with 35Whelen and 2 with a 375Chatfield-Taylor. Both moose shot with the 375 showed no reaction to well placed shots in the lungs at under 100yds. I knew they were good shots so just watched and waited. The one shot with the 35 took a 250gr Speer behind the ear at very close range. Tossed it down like a rag doll.

I sold all my 375 stuff a couple yrs ago for a lighter/less recoil M700 1:12" Lilja 35Whelen. That's more than than enough for the moose here.
