    270 win 130gr GMX for Moose

    Your choice of 270 with 130 GMX will absolutely suffice for any moose on the planet. Avoid hard quartering, frontal, and any crazy angle shots. One issue that may arise is that your Russian guide/outfitter may take exception to your choice of chambering and bullet. Even though your choice is...

    hunting along a river on foot for moose

    I know the area reasonably well- I’ve sheep hunted not far from there and helped a buddy with a bull moose tag in the zone just north of where you’re going to be at as well. Key to success in my opinion will be versatility. If you’re not finding anything by walking and calling in the river...

    hunting along a river on foot for moose

    Rivers here in Alberta are low at this time of year. This should allow you access to walk and call below the high water line. Seems like a pretty good way to hunt moose, but expect some mud and tough walking. What river and general area of Alberta are you hunting? I might be able to give you...

    Hornady ELDX for moose

    270 wby with partitions is a great choice for moose. 2 boxes (40 rounds) is a good amount to show up with. The ELDX isn’t my first choice because of frangibility at high velocities, but I’m sure it would do the job. Partition, Accubond, or any Barnes bullet would be my recommendation. Good...

    Canceling a bighorn hunt in Alberta

    To the OP: Alberta currently manages their sheep to provide opportunity rather than high trophy potential. Being that only a small portion (5% maybe) of this beautiful and diverse province is suitable bighorn habitat and that demand is so high on bighorns, I believe and would argue that game...

    Canceling a bighorn hunt in Alberta

    Resident AB sheep hunter here that has been part of several (7) successful hunts: Legal rams as defined as 4/5 curl earlier in this thread are hard to find. Resident success here is around 2% and guided hunters are about 40% (I last looked at this data about 5 years ago so may have changed...

    6.5 CM for a once in a lifetime Oryx hunt. Give it to me straight

    Never hunted oryx, but 6.5cm (which I have a couple of) wouldn’t be my first choice. That said, a stout bonded, mono, or partition-style bullet plays a much bigger role than the headstamp. Stay away from soft bullets. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Alaska sheep rifle build.

    Super fun to geek out on this custom stuff- the furthest I got is a semi-custom Sako Finnlight 85 with a K.S. Customs 6.5CM barrel finished at 24”. Topped with a Swaro Z5 3-18x it made for a sweet rig and killed a couple bighorn and a pile of deer. Then I realized that a stock T3 was just as...

    RMBS Oysters

    I’ve also had them, but sliced thin with only seasoning salt cooked over the campfire. No better way to celebrate a successful hunt! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    168 TSX for moose?

    Nothing wrong with a 168gr TSX in 0.308 traveling at or over 2000fps. I killed my bull last fall at 415yds with that bullet. He didn’t take a step. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2021 Moose Hunt

    We green scored him at 179 and change, I think. The moose is a Canada moose out of western Alberta.

    2021 Moose Hunt

    We make our way to the bull, give Thanks and take pictures. We breathe in the enormity of the experience. Having heard the loud voice of my 30.06 from camp, Bob rides out to meet us and we share the story with him over the sight of a fallen giant. It is now 11:30am. It takes us 3 trips...

    2021 Moose Hunt

    I take the time to range (1560 yards) the moose, and triangulate its position in my mind. Gear is packed back into my bag, and I positively run down the mountain to tell Mark and Bob. It appeared to me that the bull was ready to bed for the day, so we plan to close the distance between us and...
