[QUOTE="NorsemanAlaska, post: 1734276, member: 101498"] Lived and hunted in Alaska for 36 of my 56 years. The decision seems unfair although I sort of understand it. But moose aren't like deer or even caribou, if wounded they're not gonna run 2 or 3 miles til they expire. Usually if your first shot doesn't put them down, they'll just stand there or maybe saunter off a little ways. They are obviously NOT built for speed and endurance. Maybe I missed something but why didn't you and your "guide" just stalk up to what he thought would be a correct distance...? Why just sit there...? Moose don't spook very easily. Next question is did your "guide" use moose cow call...? Contrary to some beliefs, bull moose WILL come to a cow call even when not in rut, it just takes longer. I've shot 7 bull moose using a cow call...Overall I apologize for your experience and yes, it does seem very odd that this "guide" took the stance that he did in not wanting to work with you. Was he an Alaskan or one of the many out of state guides that just come up here during the season…? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
