Eating Size Moose - 09/20/09
Well just finished butchering many hundreds of pounds of meat from the small bull we took last week. I put a hole through his lungs with the 358 Norma. Unfortunately I was using regular 250 Speer bullets and the jacket shed. It still wrecked the lungs so no real harm done but it should have broke the far shoulder. Next time it's back to Partitions for me.. My hunting buddy also found his lungs with his 308. He ran off 25 yards and fell down kicking (The moose not my buddy). The Federal 180 grain bullet also stopped in the far shoulder. It held together pretty nicely but cuts a much narrower track.
Not much meat wasted, a good clean kill, great meat and boon companions in the wilderness. Not too shabby.
