Recently returned from Alaskan moose hunt. My camera went bad after first shot and had to wait until morning to borrow another. My guide called him in from about 100yds away to other side of big spruce tree. Used my Freedom Arms 44mag with open sights to make 10yd shot to rear of left rib cage as he quartered away with complete penetration. He then broke right on a straight away run and I used guides 375H&H to keep him from getting to far from the river. He measured 68 1/2".

FANTASTIC !     Great pictures and Thanks for taking time to talk & tell me how it happened !   When you were telling me the stories,  The way you were describing them,  I could almost see what you saw.
CONGRATULATIONS again !   Glad it was a safe trip.  I'll be in touch soon with that pronghorn picture.
Take Care !

We were just talking yesterday about moose hunting, what a coincidence!
