Today we shot the last moose for this season. My nephew shot a young cow with his 375H/H . Last day is on saturday so we had to have it on this last hunt ! We have less moose here now that earlier 2001-2006. Have found some dead bulls this fall(autum) and winter. Some bulls get bad hurt during rut and dies. It is not so unusual . Today we have some contact with red deers but we did not get em out with the young dog we have, they just run around in forest.Todays harvest a moose cow and a fox.

...and I have always been told that Scandinavians mainly use the 6.5x55 for moose hunting

Matts, would you post some photos, please?

P.S. Oops! I forgot to congratulate your nephew....

Matts,

Sounds like you had a good final day! Please feel free to post any pictures you have as we would all be interested in seeing something like this..

Matts,

Waidmannsheil to your Nephew.

Good choice that .375lr, I like it - especially with the 300 gr. Hornady RN's.

I know what you mean about the camera. If I depart the house with a Rifle, my License (I could do without it but alot of others consider it VERY important), the correct amount of the right caliber ammunitionj & my binos it's probably gonna be a good day. I can freeze, leave my ear protection and forget one mislayed glove plus a number of other Boo-Boo's at O'Dark-Thirty but without those three items - you're lost - the Camera is a Bonus!

.375H&H

congrats on your nephews moose.
too bad to hear that the population decreases, i guess you hunt in the southern parts of Sweden since you mentioned red deer.

i haven't had the opurtunity to hunt moose yet, but here the population only goes up.

I fortunately got into the habit of always bringing a small camera (now a digital one) with me when I go hunting; that habit allows me to have a good amount of nice, priceless photos, now.

Grattis till god jakt Matts,

Waidmansheil Matts, good hunting, that nephew of yours is one lucky man.

Best regards Chris
