Those words right there are the very ones that made me NEVER even think about hunting Elk or Moose DIY!!! The older I get, the best trophies are those you can back the pick up to and load. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Randall, I hate to agree with you on that one but you got it right there But it’s hobby and obsession combine so it’s hard to buck my own system " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins.

Milan's Bull Moose All I can say is wow - that is an outstanding Shiras  Mike Legistine actu? Quid 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. | |||

There's a lot of good eating there. Moose is my favorite wild game meat. The last moose meat we've had was when we traded some frozen crab meat for a jar of moose in Newfoundland. Winston, the Newfie, was thrilled and we were too. Good trade! | |||

Two miles from my truck in swamps but I climbed up that hill and there was logging road so I drove around the valley and was hoping there was no gate Drove straight above him about 200 yards Pretty steep and ton of fallen timber so bit of cutting was required Two hours packing for four guys Worked out perfect Called four in that morning " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins.

Twall, The picture is accurate. The first time I saw a shiras in MT the first thing that struck me was how black their hide is/ can be. Mike Legistine actu? Quid scripsi?

I have only had one quick glimpse of a Shiras about 40 years ago. I had never noticed in pictures of how black Milan's is. It is very striking. Easy to see how easily they disappear in the dark woods. Tom | |||

All of my Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana hunting has been DIY, and most of it solo. I've hunted and packed out dozens of elk, 2 moose, 3 bighorn rams, and a mountain goat by myself, although for about 20 of those years I cheated and used my horses. At 72, I'm still doing it, although I haven't drawn a sheep, moose, or goat tag in over 20 years, and I no longer have horses. NRA Endowment Life Member | |||

Good for you, glad you are still able to do that. It is just a difference beteween individuals and the thing that has to be remembered is that each of us buy our license and spend our $$$ hunting the way we choose, and as long as it is LEGAL, that is all that matters!!!!!! Why draw lines of division that are not necessary? Don't hunters have enough enemies as is, without fighting among ourselves??????? Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||
