Default Sons first bull moose

https://imgur.com/a/hxzDqCx
Recently went moose hunting with my son and a few friends. Wall tent camp and all way back... Was during the prime rut. Called this bull in on the first moring. Son made a perfect 270 m shot. Will add to the story if the picture works. First time posting pictures from the iPhone since photo bucketohchit happend.

Seems to have worked. Anyone know how to make the photo viewable right in the thread?
I am very proud of him, he always toughs it out, this is his 3rd big game animal, he is 14.

Congrats guys! Nice moose and some even sweeter memories, I am sure.

Congrats to the young hunter. The first moose is always the tastiest.

That is a memory of a lifetime for both of you right there! Congrats to the young man, and to you dad, for making it possible for him. That's a fine moose! I hope you had a quad to get it out!

That’s a great bull, congrats.

You might as well put away your rifle now, the torch has been passed on. Ever since my son started hunting I haven’t had the need to hardly ever shoot.
