Moose. A long time coming.
After eating a tag 13 yrs ago and with that bitter taste still in my mouth I wanted nothing to do with it again.
Fog ruined one opportunity, a pair of wolves another, and then my laziness kept me from shooting a bull that would needed to be packed through a waste deep creek at -20 and I thought I might not do it again. But they say even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.
Thanks to those who offered a few insights and some direction before I got started.

Long story, but I ended up using the 150 TSX. It worked.

Congrat's Chuck. I'm sure it was even more rewarding to take him with the Mashburn, yes ? Pretty cool!

I took him with the Mashburn. I was pretty excited about that. I find it nice to get a new rifle off to a good start.

Yes he's he's a good one, and a fine picture although the hunter looks a little cold and tired...... I guess moose will do that to a person...kind of glad I wasn't there that day. I mean, woops, I sure wish I could have helped you pack him out of there.

We said your name in vain under the burden of moose quarters more than once.
