Cant say enough about the outfit and my guide Joe and wrangler Joshua. Killed this dream bull with my custom lefty Model 70 in 7X57 built by Shaenrifles (thanks Shaen!) Using the Barnes 139gr LRX. Shot the bull in his bed and he never moved. Last edited by Huntr; 09/21/19.

This was a very good year for trophy moose in the 40 Mile Country! Our party took two big bulls with bows and one with a handgun plus a large grizzly boar. Good weather certainly helped as we had bulls responding to calls on the 8th. Any moderate cartridge will do the job on moose if you do your part. A good lung shot and it's over. Our two archery bulls ran about 25 yards at most.

The rest of the story is pretty simple. Spotted the bull at about 700 yards and knew that he was everything that I had dreamed of. Closed the distance to 546 yards and got set up with my rifle over the guides tripod and watched him as he bedded down. Waited for an hour and a half and finally decided to shoot him while he was bedded. Sent a round and he never moved. Doesnt get any better!

This may be true for people that have killed many moose - I however enjoyed the entire hunt (which included 2 days of packing the bull out of the most spectacular country imaginable)......but hey that’s just me. Great bull and congratulations!!! PennDog
