opinions please on the 358 Win

- Start date
This bull was shot at 350 yds (just over actually). It was shot with a fast stepping 7mm magnum and he was shot at a steeply quartering on angle. The bullet went nearly through him lengthways and a quick follow up dropped him in his tracks. I could have killed him at point blank range and the results would have been similar. Like I said. If you want to collect a 358 Win be my guest. But you are not filling a necessary niche. I'm sorry if that opinion is offensive to some. But it is what it is.
Nice moose...
This one was shot at 20 yards, with a 500 grain arrow travelling at 280 fps... complete pass through... arrow recovered from a tree 40 yards into the bush on the otherside of the moose... two steps and fell over backward... dead where he was standing when the arrow hit him.
Sometimes I like slow and heavy...
P.S - no "grim expression."

I knew yew wuzz a Hawbitt................ dang, that bigg'un mewsie makes you petite.
Great job.
Bet the bewger wuzz tuff too.
And all the while I thought you were a Ruger kinda guy..
22250 and 45/70 have about the same kinetic energy in some loads. Which would you use on buffalo or grizzly bear?
There's a reason there are minimum caliber restrictions when hunting big game.

Congrats Greg. Quite an accomplishment with a
'sharp pointy thing' flinger. I have a' couple', a Hoyt Ultra Tec for targets and a Cyber Tec for game and for game field courses.
Haven't yet come close to what you've done.

Thanks, Johnn... I had an Ultratec and loved that bow... I probably took 40-50 big game animals with it. Just prior to the hunt pictured above I switched to a Spyder 34... I was amazed at how much the technology had advanced... it is a very smooth, quiet and speedy bow.
Moose is the only big game animal that I have never hunted with a rifle... all of the bulls I have taken were with archery gear... mostly because the prime rut falls during the archery season and I love calling them close.
What do you call them with?...... I have a homemade birch "cone" I have used in the past......... Will have to dig it out for my upcoming hunt....... But curious.....
I have my "lucky" birchbark horn... in the mid-90's, I made it and shot a nice bull an hour later... since then I have taken 10 or 12 bulls with it... but I still make a new one every fall... it is kind of a tradition for my son and I.
...... Made mine as well....... And whn I had a gang and was able to get a tag here I used it every year..... Sure hope I can find it.....

I've called in a few and have a 'few' commercially made calls, birch bark and plastic'. The easiest to pack and one that's worked well for me on most occasions is the cupped hands, while pinching the nostrils with the index fingers. In reality though, during prime time, there's probably not many decent tool
choices that wouldn't work.
