Shiras Bull

[Guy Miner]

Photo taken about 50 yards outside my camp last September. The light was wrong, but... I still like it:

At that range, in a legal hunt situation, I'd have liked to have had my 45-70 Marlin in hand, with stout-loaded 405 grain flat nose hard cast or 350 grain jacketed soft point ammo.

Regards, Guy

Beautiful bull Guy. Your 375 H&H would be an excellent choice as well.
I'm applying for a WY Shiras Moose tag. Fingers crossed I draw and get a crack at a bull like this.

Too good a shot to pass on- with camera or gun! Nice! CL

He is a handsome brute, Guy. You captured the essence of what makes him the bull of the woods!

Guy, I hunted Moose up in BC back in 2003. I took a young bull and was happy as could be. I’d like to hunt moose again soon and think the .450 Marlin with either of the bullets you mentioned would be my rifle of choice.

As always, your photos are top notch. Always enjoying looking at them. Thanks for sharing, Dan.

When hunting with a camera, the pack-out is much easier than when successful with a rifle.

Guy,
When i shot my moose, the guide called in the chopper to take the meat bags, cape and horns back to camp.
It's the only way to go!
