Just got back from up north eh! And all I can say is that a Bull moose is as big as a horse!!My friend Tom and I
went on a guided hunt for 5 days.We flipped a coin to see who would shoot first and I won.On the first day we
saw a couple of cows but no bulls on day 2 Toms turn to be shooter same thing cows but no bulls.
That night Tom and I toast (crown royal) to a bull moose.It was about 8:00am we came around a corner
on a old logging road and all of a sudden there he was right on the edge of the road I stepped out of the truck
put my clip in at this time the blood was flowing hard and the brain was not intact I forgot to chamber a round
click oh [Bleeeeep!] chamberd the next one click (action didnt close all the way forward)one more time bang down he
went down Tom and I high fived he sported a 46in spread.That night Tom and I did the same thing we toasted
for him to get a bull.We hunted all morning and all we saw was a cow.Our guide said he didnt get many moose
in the middle of the day but the weather turned into a blizzard we came around a large mud hole and I looked up
on the ridge ahead of us and there was a cow and a calf on a dead run on top of the ridge.I said Tom look and out
came a nice bull running right behind them.They were out of sight in a flash our guide said they might cross to the
lower road ahead because there was a lake that was surounded by wind fall.Sure enough we just crested the hill
there they were still on the run.Our guide stopped Tom opens the door and they stopped to see what the noise was
and the bull turned brodside Tom got a good rest on a log 300yds away from the bull and hit him hard behind the shoulder
he took off running and Tom hit him in the back of the head and his feet went straight up in the air it was a great shot in
a blowing snow storm. We helped guide our guide through the clear cut to the downed bull and all of a sudden the wind
quit and the sun started to shine!!! What a great hunt!!One I wont ever forget Thanks Tom!!When the film gets developed
I will scan and post some pics!!!

Glad to hear that you had a great time hunting. congrats on your success. Weird how them ol duffers can move like they do. I just hope to make it that long much less move like that.
