There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

Depends when you’re hunting them. Late September, during the rut, yep you’ll get closer shots. Hunt in mid November, it’s a glassing game, spot and stalk. I’ve shot two 350 - 400 yards, and one at 425 yards , hunting the late season. That’s no time to be toting a .30-30.

if the 30-06 is what you have use big bullets know your gun , make a good shot and a 2nd good shot,,,
To do my gun life over I would use a .338 and 250 gn bullets for bear moose and elk


My buddy had a clienet shooting a 270 , found the book bear after a week.
My father inlaw shot a 393 bull elk , double lung, 1 mile away, 10 days later 160 gn bullet


We;ve killed 3 moose, two with 160 gn 7 mm one with a 376 gn Sharmaine Nugent Gold tip arrow and muzzy broadhead

Most big bullets will put a moose down,,, they die easy, however they may go a ways too.

A buddy of mine guides for big bears. I now fully understand why he want clients using big guns and big bullets.

Now depending on when and where the hunt is,,, just try to use the biggest gun you own and or big bullet. again moose do die easy,,,I discovered my buddies reasoning about big gun big bullet , who wants to track any animal when you could put it down maybe where it stands



Oh and the secret to moose hunting,,, take friends [Linked Image]
280yards styeep hill to the ATV, then 4.5 miles to the truck quartered and hauled out myself 4 hours



, shoot the moose uphill and close to the truck




Ran downhill to the truck 58 yards

[Linked Image]

No blood no snow , ran uphill 160 yards

I am actually speechless at that shot.


Those that talk trash on Barnes bullets haven’t used them.
