Wow!!
Airplane wings, propellers, energy, 338s`, and 250 gr`ers. This thread has covered almost everything except where 1260 missing moose are. We`re looking for the 338s missing "killin` power" and overlooked a pile of missin` moose.
Maybe the answer is once you poke a hole through the lungs of a moose it only has so long on this earth, no matter what size the hole or whether it was done with a sharp stick or RPG. Maybe they like to amble a little so they take that last walk, but are as lazy as they look and only like doing ~50 yd at a time.

---------------- = 8740 dead moose`s?

I thought we were learning from 10,000 moose`s?
I think Savage 99 found one of them tied up (better turn it loose, DNR frowns on this I believe) and looking a bit peaked although still kickin`. I don`t know if we can count that one or not, but we are still a few steaks short of 10,000 animals. Maybe once we find them we`ll have a answer. We`ve all agreed we can`t come to a conclusion without all the data.
