[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1686672, member: 27307"] [SIZE=4] You're only about 70 years behind in your assessment of moose hunting in Sweden. The heavy, round nose bullets left during the 2 great wars in Europe. Pointed medium heavy bullets replaced them since they were more accurate and efficient when killing moose As backward as you paint them, they have managed to keep up with the advancements in shooting and hunting. So 160 grain RN down to 140 Spitzer/VLDs. There are 3 ways to hunt moose in Sweden: - From a tree stand - With a dog used to drive the moose to you - Stalking and shooting from a distance deemed acceptable. You have to take a six month course and pass a shooting test before a hunting license is granted. The density of the forest will often dictate the length of the shot. [/SIZE] [SIZE=5][B] Quick facts about Moose in Sweden[/B][/SIZE] [B]Scientific name:[/B] Alces alces [B]How large is a moose?[/B] Moose is the largest of all the deer species. They reach 170 – 210 cm height at shoulder. Bulls weigh weigh 380 – 850 kg and cows weigh 200 – 360 kg. This make a bull nearly one ton (1870 lbs) and almost 7 feet tall at the shoulder (82.67"). Not quite so small either. However, in Norway, long range shots on moose are not quite as unusual given the terrain. [/QUOTE]
