Spent the past 2 weeks in Tok. for the first 8 days or so we didnt see a single bear or tracks. We scouted a new area to see if we could find something. Seen a bear on the hill, double checked to make sure nop cubs were present. asked my buddy the yardage and got ready.
The first shot was at 206yards through the neck.Didnt hit the spine but it cut his windpipe in half. it didnt show any sign of being hit (I thought I missed)and it slowly walked up hill. At 210yards it stopped, faced directly at us and stood up. Shot him right through the chest. still no sign of being hit. It dropped to all 4's and started running through the woods out of sight. we waited and then inspected the hill for blood, hair or anything, couldnt find a drop. started walking around trying to find a trail and there he was about 30 yards away piled up against a tree.
I was using my rem 7600 in 35whelen with 225gr partitions. those bullets did some major damage, I dont know if I would use those things on a moose or not. alot of meat damage.
I'll send some picks to elkhunter and hopefully he will post them.
