You can't kill a monsterous beast like that with such a pea shooter...  ! Excellent work!

I didn't look hard for both holes...one did for sure, it was a hole about 3" across. I was happy with the 25-06. Sorry I couldn't answer ur question completely.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

One is a man's man if he can truly pack a quarter. In Alaska, I did hams, but no way could I travel with a full bone in quarter.

Congratulations on your bull, he is a dandy.
Did you recover the 115 gr PT or did it exit?

JD338 I recovered one bullet it was from an extra round i put into him as i walked up on him...still breathing a bit and i hate to see them suffer so i put another in. Nothing else found but i didnt look to closely, i was rushing to get him cleaned up and hauled out. On a side note he is soooo tasty...had a roast as it was outstanding!

I've packed many a bone in quarters in my time in Alaska. Too old for that now.

Always thought it funny, as the junior guide, I would get sent up the mountain with the guy with the sheep tag. The senior guide would stay below with the guy with the moose tag. Couple days into the hunt, we had a ram down and out and were now looking for a black bear, ![[Linked Image]](http://i552.photobucket.com/albums/jj358/mar1895/Elche%20GRE%20AK%2011/IMGP0395.jpg) I would get pulled and told to break moose camp. Senior would take over. Standing in a deserted camp, instructions now in hand on where to find the moose and where to bring it and the gear to, realization hit me, when I felt behind my ears, a certain dampness. ![[Linked Image]](http://i552.photobucket.com/albums/jj358/mar1895/Elche%20GRE%20AK%2011/IMGP0354.jpg) It had its perks, though. ![[Linked Image]](http://i552.photobucket.com/albums/jj358/mar1895/Elche%20GRE%20AK%2011/IMGP0345.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i552.photobucket.com/albums/jj358/mar1895/Elche%20GRE%20AK%2011/IMGP0370.jpg) Congratiolations on your moose. Please excuse my drifting.

Hard work huh? Lots of meat. As a young man, we had a saying among our hunting fraternity: "Nothing spoils a good moose hunt faster than some damn fool shootin' a moose."

Played with my adblock settings and the pic showed up.
Very cool, and a great looking hunting area. Thought all mooses fell in the water??? It's was a bit boggy. Not the most ideal spot to die but I wasn't going to be picky. Tested out how water proof my boots were That looks positively desert-like compared to most places I've seen dead moose come to rest! Very nice beast, harv! Well done.

Thanks everyone...as much work as it was I would do it again. Next year my wife should have the draw in that area, so hopefully I will be! Ready, I don't mind the drifting at all! All good stories and love to hear about it!
