Got my New Brunswick Moose - A dandy
Well guys, I posted several times on hear about my NB Canad moose hunt. Shot him 1st light 2nd day of season. Best hunt ever. Guide called him in from about 400 yards in a thick cut. We heard him coming in grunting, raking trees, & just plowing through the alders. Shot him at 25 yards. Hit him 4 times right in the boiler room before he tipped. He only took 2 steps and tipped over off of the skidder trail.
Field dressed 870 lb, Had a 48.5" spread, & had 19 points.

Congrats man. Moose is the best table fair of all wild game, IMO. Lots and lotsof good eatin'. Those moose can really soak up bullet energy like no other.

Congrats man!! That your first? Sounds like it was a thrill hearing him come busting thru the brush. I'm headed to Newfoundland in 2 weeks, hope I can have a positive report to give.

Congrats!! They sure get big when they're on the ground don't they.
9 times out of 10 they're dead after the first shot. They just don't know it.[:@]Keep on shooting. That's our camp's motto as well. If they're still standing we keep shooting. Of course you can always ruin a front quarter by popping them in the shoulder, but we like our moose too much to waste meat like that.

Taxis River Outfitters in Boisestown. Great operation. Highly recommend them. Only one other in camp. He took a 50" 23 point that dressed 895lb after me!
Best hunting experience of my life.
