First off I hope this is in the right forum. Secondly.. I'M GOING ON A MOOSE HUNT!!!!
My father surprised me last month with the idea of a moose hunt for my college graduation present
god bless you Dad. Well today we booked a hunt for 2012.
I was under the impression that he would only want me to take my compound due to the high trophy fees. But today after watching me fling a few from my recurve in the back yard he suggested I take that instead!! To say the least I began to drool at the mere thought of it.
So my question to everyone is.. What kind of a set up do I need to be comfortable in taking a moose and to what yardage should I be proficient out to? Currently I'm shooting a 60# at 28" draw but im only 27 so its more like 52#s. My arrows weigh 560 and are shooting bullet holes.
Is this enough? From my existing knowledge im already aware (i think) that with any traditional equipment, a perfectly broadside shot is all I will be able to take due to their heavy ribs..
Also after browsing through the outfitters website I have seen about a half dozen trohpy pictures where guys have taken bulls with recurves so I know the outfitters are no stranger to our traditional ways..
Any and all advice is much appreciated!! Thanks guys!!!
PS... did i mention IM GOING ON A MOOSE HUNT!!!
