Houligan's First Moose

[Houligan]

Well, I shot my first moose last week, a nice cow that dressed 543 lbs, and my good friend Dave Blevins shot his first moose as well, a nice 46"Bull that dressed 604lbs. I shot mine with my favourite BLR in .270 WSM, 140 grain fail safe at 75 yards right in the transmission, she dropped in her tracks, and never took another breath. Dave shot his bull with a Rem mountain rifle in .270 at just over 310 yards with a 150 grain nosler. We were hunting in area 5 near Ear Falls. Both were great animals and we left early to come home and leave the calves for next year. Here are a couple of pics...........

This is Dave's Bull

Just off of Hwy. 105 between Ear Falls and Perrault Falls, beautiful area up there, but there was lots of other hunters too. Suprisingly though, not many were having much luck. I saw 5 moose in 4 days, 4 were bulls. The cow I saw was being chased by a bull that was 2 times the size of the bull we took, biggest moose I have ever seen. It was sad to watch him walk away, but we may cross paths again some day.

There is something fishy with this picture!!!

There is no way a lever action could kill a moose!

Someone else must have shot it and you walked onto their kill! :wink:

Gotta luv those BLR's

Congrats Houligan! I had to cancel out on my moose trip this year. It is nice to see you had great luck, especially with the BLR!

 

[Why not?]

Congratulations on your first one!

There will be plenty more.

Well done, Pat! Looks like your hunting trip was worthwhile after all, eh? And I am greatly relieved that you will be able to provide the much-anticipated moose sausages.........in return for the mule deer sausages of course!

Now we need to get you a nice whitetail buck! :wink:
