Hi folks, hope everyone had a good hunting season. Hauled another bull moose off the river by freighter canoe. I used the ole nine-three again. 42 inch racked moose popped out (September 18th) when I least expected. I always get in the habit in the late season of throwing out a cow call when I pull ashore to check motor or boat or take ah leak. Was two river bends away from my camp and out he comes across the river 100 yds away.

Got ahold of the 9.3 and hit him three times in the front end as he ran for a swampy ox bow. Two hit high and went clear through scapulas and passed through. It slowed him down. Finally got a clear window in the thick willow brush: one more hit square through front shoulders, ribs and found against hide on the offside. He dropped 20 feet from the swampy oxbow. I'm glad I didn't have to quarter him in that bottomless mess. The 300 grain swift A frame expanded to 71 caliber and weighed 295.5 grains.
