Would you???

[Win94]

Took this pic two years ago. I had no bull tag. Would you drive him between the hams?? The cow is in front as you can see. This was 50 yards.

 

[Fall Guy]

If I could legally shoot, you bet, I'd go higher - especially at 50 yards.

 

[bisonhd]

No. Why risk punching the gut bag. Wait for him to take a few more steps following the cow. Then he'd be quartering left.

 

[crazy_davey]

Nope. Nice a$$ shot though

 

[catnthehatt]

That's not a good "texas heart shot" becuase his hips are a bit turned, too much chance of deeflection .
I may, depending on how far away I was , go for the hump or neck, but i would likely give him a grunt and see if he turned.
The cow, however, is in a bad spot and could get hhit.

[todbartell]

no shot there, not on a moose, and not with the cow pretty much right behind him

 

[Neo]

Catnthehatt has it right. One or two soft grunts would almost certainly get that bull to look back over his shoulder, and then your biggest worry will be how far it is back to the truck

nope, i would try to make a cow call and see if he turns to look.

i wouldn't shoot him in the a$$, too much good meat back there.

 

[scott_r]

I agree w/ the majority here, I would'nt shoot. Gut shots really suck!!

 

[MagnumPeanut]

Shoot him in the ear!!!!

Seriously tho, I tried that shot on a whitetail running from me going for the back of the head, and he jumped the fence as I pulled the trigger and the bullit went thru a ham. It still tore thru him and killed, but I lost A LOT OF MEAT. And to top it off he was missing most of the left antler too. I was really mad at myself. I almost wanted to just leave him there...almost.

 

[ryan robert]

If i was standing on his right side, and it was last day of season, i would no doubt put one in the neck or head, But not a great shot overall by no means!!

 

[PSE]

Not a chance - It's a bad low percentage shot with an excellent opportunity to wound and ruin a lot of meat not to mention hit the cow behind. Waiting a few more minutes would probably produce a much better shot. Wait for it.

Me neither, poop doesn't make good steak seasoning.

You are just not using the right poop

 

[SuperCub]

I'd pass too .......

[captonion]

Not me.

 

[senior]

Not me.

Me neither!
To much investment into moose hunting now days to roll over!
Course where I used to hunt you could NEVER get a bull tag!
But if I did & at 50yds, if he hesitated for one second... my 150gn .280 would slip one right across his back & low into the back of his head.

 

[SuperCub]

Wouldn't werk with a .280....... A 270 would be much better.

[MadDog]

Not this guy, I'd let him walk into the bush a bit more and feel a little more comfortable, then sneak in for a broadside shot.

 

[John Y Cannuck]

I'd grunt. Most moose will turn and look.
No shot there IMO.
If you did, it would be a long tracking job, and maybe a lost moose.
