I'm just kidding, but this is a nice fast archery kill! Nice archery bull moose kill, very quick Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | ||

Wow, great shot! I wish my rifle moose had died that quickly. I had to chase mine around a NH forest a bit and shoot him a couple more times after the first one failed to drop him. Most inconsiderate, some moose!  ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

I have always been amazed how fast a properly placed arrow kills big game. I can only hope that my Wyoming moose hunt goes so smooth this fall. | |||

Actually the shot seems a little high to me but I sure cannot argue with the results at all. Darn nice moose. Brent When there is lead in the air, there is hope in my heart -- MWH ~1996 | |||

Seemed like an aweful long time to me. Also they cut the footage before he was actually dead so we don't know how long it took for the moose to really die. | |||

Looks like about a 40 yard run, stand about 10 seconds and fall. The moose wasn't going anywhere after rolling on his backside like that....except into a freezer.   Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

Doc, I guess it all boils down to what one is accustomed to. That moose took far far too long to actually die, and NO we did not see it finally succomb just lay there and suffer for 1 minute before the video was cut. | |||

Here's a question for all the bow hunters: How long does a large bovine typically take to die from a double lung broadhead wound? As for the moose in question...did you have a finger on its pulse? Now, I haven't shot anything with an arrow, but the deer I've shot with rifles are dead within a minute or so--if not sooner--of when their legs are up in the air. How much more could you ask for? It is killing, after all, and that is never easy, nor is it particularly pretty. If you eat meat, better get used to it! friar Our liberties we prize, and our rights we will maintain. | |||

Solid, and right on. KG ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

I saw ol Ted Nugent a few years ago in some video where he arrowed a big bull bison in TX. That bull ran about 30 yards and killed over.
Scott, I respectfully disagree. In the bowhunting world, that is a very fast moose kill. Exactly what a bowhunter wants. I didn't post the video to stir a pot, I'm a rifle hunter to the core but that is shared with archery as well. Having shared a lot of camps with many who've killed moose, and listening to the stories of how far they've tracked some in the bush, I thought this was a nice comparison. So, I guess you are right, it boils down to what we are accustomed to. And a kill like that doesn't get any better.  Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

Excellent shot! I hunt with bow, muzzleloader, rifle, shotgun, etc. Longest to die: doe hit through the boiler room with a 12 ga slug, she ran forever. Shortest to die, large black bear boar who went 50 feet, at best, with an arrow through the boiler room. Most of my archery kills died quicker than those shot with a piece of lead. The only one that went faster was my ele cow, who I brained. ~Ann   | |||

This looks reasonably quick to me Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||
