Here is a pretty good one my Dad shot here in Maine, actually right behind our Lodge , so he now resides in the lodge, within a 1/2 mile of where he lived his whole life!! This guy was also killed with one shot from a 30/06 loaded with 220gr bullets; and 56.6grs of 4831 powder and from memory that gives 2600 fps in his rifle. [
Do not use this load without working up to it as it would probably isn't safe in some of the older guns :shock: ]
Anyway he had been eluding us for years; but finally coaxed him out, he is 61" and has some pretty darn decent "frontals" on him as well. A good representation of a mature Maine Bull.

Yeah, I think that's probably a pretty good moose... :mrgreen:
Too late to throw it back now anyway!
Good luck to all you moose hunters.
