Thank you sir. Spotted him fifty yards off the trail in pretty thick brush. He acted like he thought we were a couple of moose. I grunted at him to get a look at him through the binocular. I thought he had three brow tines. While holding the binocular on him I grunted a couple more times and he started coming straight at us. I saw he had three brow tines and he gave me a slightly quartering to shot so I lined up on the the shoulder where I thought the spine would be and sent an old 275 grain Hornady round nose his direction. He dropped on the spot at 35 yards.
I never found the bullet other than a tiny shard of jacket and lead where the bullet passed through the on side shoulder blade. I cut and wrapped the the moose myself and never found it despite there not being an exit hole. I was hoping to recover it as that's the first game I've shot with that bullet.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
