Got my first bull moose on Tuesday. Nothing big, but will be tasty. This wasn't a xbow kill but thought I would share the hunt with you.
On a crisp clear still morning we set up in a new clear cut and for two hours we could hear moose walking around and a few calls across from us behind a hill. I decided to move the group a hundred yards closer and continued my calling sequence. After 20 minutes I look to my left and there is a moose standing there 62 yards away. A quick look and I see antlers(only a bull tag). Game on! I do a call and he starts walking my way. I get ready and see he is coming by me on a trail 8 yards away. I come to full draw and he stops at 8 yards but quartering to me and then he turns and takes off. At full draw I grunt at him and he stops at 40 yards. The arrow found its mark and he only went about 70 yards.
Here's the group.

Congratulations, that still looks like a ton of meat
To be a vegetarian is to listen to the live carrot gradually screaming as it drowns in a pot of boiling water …. Which is more ethical to you ?? :roll: :lol:

Congratulations on your first bull
Always great to shoot a moose, but even better
to get him in archery season.
