Talked to my dad this evening,he went out today to get my brother a mulie.
My brother shot a 2 point mulie but was unable to recover it after 4 hours of tracking due to rain washing away the blood trail.
Feeling down and out at about 1:30 my dad and brother started heading down the mountain on the way down my dad caught a glimpse of a moose.
Dad stopped, and put the binos on it but couldnt identify sex.
Grabbed his gun and moved into a better position,from there he could see a cow and a calf moose and the original one he had spotted.
From here he could see little horns, but not count points. A little closer he cold make out the points but wasnt 100% sure it was an Imm.
1 cow call later the moose was identified as an immature,BANG goes the .338, poof goes a bunch of hair, and off runs the moose.
Another off hand shot and the sound of another solid hit comes back.
After 15 mins the trail was picked up quickly and my dads first immature moose was recovered, his second moose ever.
My dad is sure glad he had his quad with him to drag it out, my bro had to sit on the front rack so they could get enough traction to pull it.
Even then the winch was still necessary, dad estimated it about 340+ on the hook.
I will recieve pics soon but am unable to resize them. Could someone resize them and post them for me when I get them?
