A good day out
Got this guy within the first hour of the first day of my 7 day trip to NF.
He was exactly what I was looking for.
364 yards with a 300 RUM and 200gn Accubond.
Fired shot #1 as he was standing broadside and clearly heard the impact. The moose turned directly toward us and stood there with his head low.
He then turned broadside to us again (same side). My guide had been looking down when I fired and hadn't seen the impact. Although I was positive that I'd made a good shot we decided I should fire again as he wasn't too far from some thick cover and we didn't want him to get into that. I'm an advocate of shooting until they're down anyway.
Just as I was squeezing off the second shot I saw steam blow out of the entry wound in his shoulder in my scope, then boom! At that point I knew I had lunged him on my first shot.
He then shakily turned around and showed us his other side. My guide asked me to hit him again. He was actually falling down as I fired the third shot into his other shoulder.
When we got to him, he was lying with the side I was shooting at first exposed and we could only find one entry wound. My guide had seen the second bullet impact and suggested that I had missed the first shot. I was sure I had seen the steam and had clearly heard all three impacts though. Once the skin came off there were two clearly visible wound channels that converged to within about half an inch at the entry point. My guide said in the typical dry Newfie manner something to the effect that 'guess that feller can shoot after all, what?'. That was good for a laugh.
As has been my experience in the past, this moose was dead on shot #1 and the other two were just insurance.
The last shot was right into the upper leg/shoulder and had broken the upper leg bone.
We ranged it afterwards. My rangefinder had been left behind with my pack when we were crawling into position. We had estimated it between 270 and 300 yards. We were off by quite a bit.
This is the first time that I've seen the 200 NAB not exit, not that it mattered. This is also the first time I've gotten a chance to shoot game with this rifle that was further away than about 150 yards or so. Finally!
Had a great trip, 3 out of 4 in our party got moose and the 4th guy wasn't too serious about getting one anyway, he was mainly there for the trip. We sat in bear stands for the rest of the trip. Saw a couple but didn't shoot them.
Can't wait for next year!

nice pics guys keep them coming
Heres a few kill shots from over the last decade or so...most of the photos have been lost over the years from this computer or that, but a few were recovered. Note: I am a meat hunter, not a trophy hunter.
First up, we have a black bear I bagged back around 2003.
Next up, meat buck harvested around 2002.
This one was harvested in 2003 I think.
Moving into more recent, moose harvest 2009. This was my first moose kill.
One of two bears harvested in 2009. Photos are lacking of the other, larger sow.

First deer with a bow. Had to track him for about 1 mile. Got a second shot off at him went high and cut him on his back you can see the cut on top. First shot was great but he gave me a chance for a second so I had to take it.
He was a big deer for only a spiker, got him on a soy bean field must have made him a big boy. Not my biggest but the funnest by far (leg would not stop shaking).

Another nice round of pics guys, makes my morning

Yup! I don't smoke so i need something to do during my breaks and since its hunting season well thats what i want to see so keep em coming!
First deer!
I got my first whitetail with my bow on Sunday morning, day 3 of the archery season in Ontario.
I used my 70# Mathews Switchback with 125gr. G5 Strikers to make a 35 metre shot at 7:00am. He ran 60 metres and I watched him pile up right beside another (empty) ground blind. A nice example of a 2.5 year old soybean fed southern Ontario deer, weighing in just under 200lbs. The coolest part is we got a trail-cam picture of him less than 2 weeks ago, about 100 metres from where I met him. And with 3 months left to hunt I can start going after the bigger bucks we have on camera!

I got this guy with pure luck.
I would be tagging along with my Dad on a moose hunt. I was not planning on shooting anything, perhaps a big white tail if one jumped out. I did have an elk tag but had been concentrating on getting one with a bow in a different zone. So at 400am that morning I grabbed my deer rifle, a 7mag with 162 SST's and jumped in the truck for the drive down to the Old man's place.
At 830Am I found my self standing on a cut line in heavy timber a few hundred yards from a bugling bull elk. He was moving away from some other hunters (who were bugling) and was pissed off to the Max. By the sound of his bugles I knew 2 things, he was in the open and he was on the move. I headed down the cut line to a open cut block where I thought he was. A few cow chirps and he responded. Again by sound I could tell he was in the open cut block and he was facing me. Having been in this situation before I know that there is a good chance he would hold up, scent me, and run off. Looking at the cut block I realized it was perfect for this situation, the trees were grown up enough that I could sneak right in to him.. but not so tall and thick I would not be able to see or shoot. So I closed the gap.
As I closed in he bugled, I pin pointed him and saw antlers rising above the trees, he was in a gully and coming out towards me. I crouched down. I chirped, he bugled and moved closer. As he closed in to 50 yards he bugled and I realized I was shaking- BAD, REAL BAD. He came in to a shooting lane, I tryed to shoot but my safety was on. I had full on Buck Fever and I had it bad. At 35yards I had a quartering toward shot and took it, hitting him 1/2 way up and through the shoulder. This is not a good shot on a adrenaline filled bull elk. Some times they can go along ways on a shot like this and I immediately knew it. So I jumped up and redeemed my self by making a perfect brain shot as he ran away, dropping him in mid stride.
The first 162g SST impacted at 2900fps. It passed through the near shoulder, both lungs, and came to rest in the far shoulder. I did not butcher this animal my self, so did not get the bullet. The second SST entered the skull at the base of the antler post and blew up about 1/2 of the brain. I found only the base of the bullet in the cranium.

Hey Gunnutz,
though you might like to see this guy.
My friend got him last year. 19 point and had one broken off.
so he would of been a 20. You might of seen it already, as it was in the paper and chasse & peche magazine.
Enjoy
