Okay, Okay - nothing new to add. But I like seeing this thread. I think a few of the moose here were dead on their feet from the first shot - it just took them 10 seconds to figure it out.
Saddened but unfortunately not surprised. Trial153 summed it up best.
I always felt that the pack out was the most satisfying part of the whole operation.
I have two T-3s, one in 6.5 x 55 that I use for metallic silhouette, and one in 7mm Rem Mag. I think the T-3 is one of the great rifle bargains.
I am hunting this year with 160 gr Accubonds (Federal factory load) which has worked well on elk, and have used 140 gr barnes TTSX in factory and...
This last set of pictures, along with the bride and moose picture, should be on the Nosler trophy thread. Excellent pictures, even the super close up.

I realized that I was going to be using a walker to get around before I drew a bull moose tag. So I cashed in my 5 preference points for a cow tag in Wyoming Area 38/41 (Snowy Mountains). I hunted the second week of October. While I saw droppings, had only one sighting, at about 500 yards...
Good story - thanks for posting. Reminds me of the situation ethics column in Bugle. I, too have hit animals I did not recover.
