Packed with moose and gear in the back. Had 3 other guys in the bow. We were definitely overloaded. We estimate the moose to have been 1100-1200lbs.

Good show, man.

Congratulations on a fine bull. What rifle, cartridge, and load was used to take the bull?

8x57 with 180gr Ballistic tips shooting 2630 fps out of a 19" barrel. Recovered two bullets, will post pictures soon. And an insurance shot from a 8mm-06 shooting 200 Nosler accubonds at 2790 fps. That one was a neck shot and passed through.

three of us went on a moose hunt to Newfound land . we were at camp with another group of five . the other group live about an hour away from me . it's small world , we drove about 1800 miles to meet a neighbor . LOL five of the camp hunted moose , three hunted caribou . my group of three were all successful on moose . the other group got a very nice moose , and a very nice caribou . three of these guys were not successful filling their tags . no opportunity, didn't see an animal . the big bulls are with cows and the small bulls are reluctant to come in . they talked about the moose , just like we talk about our turkey being hened up .

Some of you may remember that my wife and I moved this last spring from the Skeena valley down to the southern interior near Shuswap lake. We are able to get a shared moose draw near our new home.

A new friend from church took me to a place where there are quite a few moose and we were able to call this guy in just before dark. We were calling and he was answering back for about 45 minutes but with darkness coming we had to get right down in there where he was with his cow. This is my biggest moose so far and is 52.5" wide. I used my 6.8 Western with 170 gr Ballistic Tips we couldn't find the bullet in the neck area but in the dark didn't look too hard either. When I'm done the butchering hopefully we'll find a bullet. The 170 gr Ballistic Tip worked fine obviously though.

We were surprised when we walked up to him, he had a huge body too. Didn't get home until 2:00 am, we had another friend come out and help get him out which was awesome. I look forward to helping out both of these amazing guys in the future!

Nice. Congratulations to one and all. Dan.

 

[DrMike]

Excellent report, Gerry. He is a grand bull.

 

[Guy Miner]

OUTSTANDING! Great bull Gerry and I suspect that your freezer is quite full of good moose meat.

Congratulations on taking a nice antelope. I really like the 7mm 150 gr. ABLR. I use it in my 7mm WSM.

Way to go, Jerry. Congratulations on taking your best bull to date. You used a custom rifle and custom reloads to great success.
