What to shoot a moose with...

Smoke pole good luck in draw

I've always wanted to shoot something BIG with the 338.  So if not hiking a long ways I'd probably go with that given the choices listed.

Though I would sure like to hear an Savora tipped arrow SMACK the rib cage of a big bull moose!  Hoping that will happen some day before I die.

I'll use a 2 blade Zwickey in front of a 520 grain arrow out of a 54# ACS Longbow

Your choice should be the gun you are most comfortable with.

Best of luck on the moose tag👊

Well there is always what a few of your constituents from the west side chose. Bring all of it and then you will just need to hire either a few caddies, or gun bearers and packers. Also don't forget the Film Crew!!


338

Another vote for the 338, thats what I shot mine with, went 40 yards then piled up

When I draw this year I am thinking bow.  Then when I find that big un I will back off and grab the .243.

I think a moose tag calls for an addition to the stable! A 375 would fit right in with your other bang sticks!

:yeah:I would use my 375 Ruger Guide Gun with a 300gr. Nosler Accubond.

.338 with 225 gr Swift A-Frames. Get rid of the partitions.

[Rhino]

Use your .270, that's what I'll use if I ever draw

I shot mine with a .270 Win. loaded with 130 grain Barnes TTSX bullets.  One shot and he went about 5 yards and dropped, which if my math is correct, is 35 yards less than Bowhunter's bull he shot with with his .338.    They aren't as tough as elk, so don't worry too much about it.  Just make sure you have a clean shot and put it in the right spot.  I actually wish I had gone ahead and used one of my .257 Roberts.

Bobcat, I just saw that you're headed to the Loser's Lounge, just like me.  I guess your choice has been narrowed down to Nikon or Canon.     Sorry, had to say it.

[bobcat]

Good to hear that a 270 will work, but I guess this thread can now be removed since I didn't draw a moose tag.   

Oh well, maybe next year.

Dad will be using the 6.5 x 55 and I'm seriously considering carrying my grandfather's old 30-30, or the 32 special.

[bobcat]

"grandfather's old 30-30"       I think that would be really cool.
