Great!


BUT

 

[LD375]

Well here's some pics for now, I can't find my other memory card from my camera :roll: ..I'm sure Dean has some on his camera for sure..Lou.

More pics to come...3 bulls were spikes, and the others went from 4-12 points..there's some fine bulls around, but we were'nt trophy hunting for sure, would have been nice thought, but any moose is a trophy in my eyes thought,.Maybe next year :wink:

 

[JD338]

Wow, didn't know you could shoot more than one moose over there. Congrats, your freezer will be full that's for sure.

Gerry, with an outfitter, you can buy a 2nd tag, and or have your name as a secondary hunter on a license, but the primary license holder needs to be with you ...BTW did'nt have a chance to use the 375 H&H, but the 270wsm with 150gr norma oryx realy shined on this hunt....We did a drive on wednesday, and the 2 bulls and cow were pushed right to me about 245yds out, my cat-pole realy played a big role in this situation, allowing me 4 shots for 4 hits on 3 very dead moose.The hunt was kinda hard, and physicaly demanding for sure, prior to wednesday, I walked miles up and down hills, through bogs, and the dirtiest stuff you can think of, but on wednesday I was rewarded with the best hunt in my life so far ...Lou :wink:

Congratulations, Lou. I'm a little bummed out that the 375 H&H didn't taste blood for you, but the 270WSM is more than adequate for moose. You've done good, mate. Great pictures of your harvest and some of the countryside.

Thanks Mike, me too pal..I would have loved to use the 375 H&H, which I did from sunday afternoon till wednesday morning, seen 4 moose in total but waaaay outta range...I tried changing hats, boots you name it for better luck in getting a shot off :shock: ...Yes I was getting discouraged with only 1 1/2 days of hunting left...Bottom line is, I'm forever happy I took the sako 270WSM along with me pal :grin: ..It came through for me, and realy hammers moose too :twisted: ...Lou bye :wink:

That's great Lou, the 150 gr Partition's definitely did well to knock down such big animals quickly. Just makes me want to buy a 270 Win even more now, thanks :mrgreen: Hunting moose can be tough in the swampy country they love to live in, you did well.

 

[LD375]

Congratulations, Lou. Thank you for sharing

Thanks Fotis, I have more pics coming..at the camp, moose don't see the meat pole too often...time is a factor, as they pretty much go straight to the butcher about 3 hrs away from camp to be cut up and vaccume packed..Lou

.Gerry on the spike bull @245yds slightly quartering away from me the 150gr norma oryx blew through both lungs, and destroyed the opposite shoulder and still kept on truckin :twisted: ..I'm very convinced pal ....Lou :wink:
