Good for both of you guys. Were you able to call them? Did you see any other moose? Mike

Thanks everyone!

Mike, they both came to the guides cow calls. I saw a few other bulls and heard more. It was an interesting hunt. I've never hunted them much before.

Steve H., ???  :)  

Al, shoes on Mate! Too cold for my tender feet.

Bill, No video. I'm tired of packing a video camera around. I did take 240 pictures on the trip though.

Sounds like it was a great hunt.
I like close shots too, but 5 yrds and 8 feet from a moose...  :scared:

You would have had better penetration at a little further distance than 8 feet. Ha! Did Dale and Darryl go with you guys?

Mike, Darryl couldn't make it, but Dale was there. We had a good time.

Which weighed more? The moose or the log?

"I had to make a difficult shot at 8 feet to collect this bull."  
  :biglaugh:   Denny, finally found a critter taller than you!  How many freezers did you need? Those are huge animals.  Glad I don't have to drag them out ot the highway.

Denny, you need to make up some drama here.  Instead of eight feet, it should read "And there I was, the shot looked to be about 96 --- and it took him through the lungs".  Best shot I ever made!

Most everyone will think in steps instead of inches.
So don't wait until you retire to go hunting and fishing.  Don't even wait for your annual vacation.  Go at every opportunity.  Things that appear urgent at the moment may, in the long run, turn out to be far less so.

Congrats!!!! Man that would be awesome to stalk a moose!! Just going through the terrain they live in would be wild and getting my butt kicked by the elements. I'm a glutton for punishment I guess.   :bigsmyl:   Someday....
 Thanks for the pics and story, it keeps that fire going to get there eventually.   :thumbsup:
Just one more step please!
