Not enough time left in the day.
Which gun?

Shoot it with a .30-.30 right between the eyes because it's probably going to be a cow.
I'd be fine with an antlerless moose tag. :tup:

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 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.

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

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.Lots, and I mean lots, of moose have fallen to the 6.5x55 in Scandinavia.

Well the drawing results aren't available quite yet but I'm trying to decide what rifle I should shoot my moose with. Should I make it a challenge and possibly end up with a smaller bull or should I go with something that will drop it instantly at a quarter mile?
My options:
.50 muzzleloader with 250 grain Thor bullet
Pre 64 Win. Model 94 in 30/30
.270 with 140 grain Barnes
30/06 with 180 grain Barnes
338 with 250 grain Nosler Partitions
I'd hunt with a moose permit.....

You shoot and wait 15 minutes. He stood there looking around then continued browsing. About 15 minutes later, he fell over.
Post by: bobcat on June 30, 2015, 08:39:43 PM
I shot mine with a 270. The thing many hunters do wrong is think they need to shoot again if he is still standing.
You shoot and wait 15 minutes. He stood there looking around then continued browsing. About 15 minutes later, he fell over.
:yike: No way could I wait 15 minutes. I might give it 15 seconds to fall over. Maybe that's what you meant?

Exactly ! Thats why I don't use a .270 ! Imagine how far in the bush he could run in those 15 minutes. It took me 3 hours to find one that had gone 60 yards after being hit with a perfect shot from a 338-378 and a backup from a .338 win mag. The first time you shoot one that doesn't drop with a .270 you will NEVER use one again. But until that happens it "Will kill anything".

Post by: HoofsandWings on July 03, 2015, 11:21:11 AM
When I drew my tag, I researched moose hunting and the videos I saw moose were shot with magnums at 300+ yards. The hunters waited and the moose fell over after about 10-15 minutes. The announcer said this was normal and not to run after the moose, but instead wait.
It worked for me with a 270. I aimed for the lungs, since I did not want to damage the heart or liver. But to each his own.
