This is how real Alaskan girls have a good time. My lovely wife, Etta spotted this cow this evening and made a great, one shot kill with her little BSA Majestic 308. Distance was about 30 yards, quartered away. The 150 grain Barnes TSX shredded the front portion of the liver, punched a 1.5" hole through the lungs and exited just behind the off shoulder. I was really surprised at the amount of bloodshot meat on the off side but I cannot complain about the performance. We were actually headed back on the wheeler to the truck for a sandwich. Our plan was to head back in and watch a nice meadow for the evening. I usually spot game before her but she grabbed my arm and whispered "stop, moose, a cow moose". She got of the old gravel about five yards and made the shot. What a girl. Of course moose hunting is great fun. Till you pull the trigger. Man was I beat when we got in last night. Still feel like I took a whoopin'. But it was worth it. Thanks for looking. Mart   "...I advise the gun.

Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks."

Very cool. I'll bet that load is a nice soft shooter. She looks like a happy kid. Congrats. Mart "...I advise the gun.

Don't I know it. I tell everyone that I married up. God blessed me with a far better woman than I deserved. Mart "...I advise the gun.

mart - you got to really love a woman considerate enough to shoot a moose just off 4-wheeler trail.  DB Bill aka Bill George | |||

Bill, Not only that but I was able to get the wheeler right to the moose. I like it when I only have to pack moose quarters three feet. My wife is so thoughtful.  Mart "...I advise the gun.

Tasty eatin'. If you are going to carry a big stick, you've got to whack someone with it at least every once in while. | |||

That's great, seeing women and kids hunting and then getting results like that. I'm happy for you and them. George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!" LM: NRA, DAV, George L. Dwight | |||
