steadman, "The my mind went blurry."...lol

Here in my neck of the woods we call that "buck fever".

I am sure you handled that a whole bunch better than I would have.

Thank you for the pictures and sharing your story with us.

God bless,Mudd

Ryan,

I doubt my life will ever line up to allow me to do such a thing, but I REALLY enjoyed your telling of the moose hunt, and wish you the best on the next go-round.  Thanks for the story AND the pictures!

Before you go next time, be sure to re-read your son's advise in your signature line.  Seems like very sound counsel, indeed!

Thanks again for taking us along.

Thanks guys. Your right Hawkeye, I should re-read my son's quote. It was my first shot of the year, so hopefully I have the jitters out and I can focus now!

"I don't even remember picking the moose".  Great line!  I know you'll keep after 'em, and the results will be different next time. Thanks for taking us along, and I can't wait for more. Good luck!

Great read!

I used to wonder how someone could miss a moose at close range.  Then I got under 20 yards to two bulls within 10 minutes of each other!  I had put my bow down and couldn't stop shaking to even get a good picture!

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs
