[QUOTE="Snowboy, post: 1786985, member: 92364"] I have shot 9 moose and let me tell you when you see one during hunting season it is the exception not the norm. I for one would recommend the most powerful caliber which you can shoot well. I have shot all 9 with .30 caliber rounds from .308 Win to 300 WSM and none of them have travelled more than 50 yards including 2 shot at 425 yards with the 300 magnum (both only went 20 yds) The one which went the farthest was travelling away from me in dense brush about 100 yards away and one shot brought it down very quick. Not my best shooting but the 300 magnum did a ton of damage from the hind quarter all the way to the front shoulder allowing an easy killing shot. Although you usually don't plan on long shots during a week long hunt moose are where you find them. [/QUOTE]
