[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1638097, member: 6330"] I hunted Moose one time in a Zec in Quebec. The woods in the area where we hunted were so thick that you had to 'swim' through them. Separate pine saplings, take a step, separate pine saplings, take a step etc. I found one spot where I could see about 90 yards. But the thick undergrowth would seriously hamper tracking - without a sufficiently visible blood trail, had I seen anything to shoot at. Additionally, much of the area was marsh. Recovery from that area would be a major undertaking. I did see one Moose, in the back of a Ford pickup truck. The leaf springs were maxed out!!! If I only had a .270 Win or could not shoot a larger caliber for a physical reason, I would use it. If I had a larger caliber available I would use it, I took a .300 Magnum. Moose are big! For me, taking a trip like that is a major commitment of time and money. I want the best chance of being successful. I guess if you lived where Moose were plentiful, you can shoot them off your porch in the wilderness with a lesser caliber. Personally I would not have a problem taking my .375 H&H on a Moose hunt. Dead is dead. Did I mention that Moose are big? Good luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
