[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 1230, member: 3"] Len One the moose I shot in Alberta. I first spotted it at 1550 yards but no adequate rest in the elevated stand. I began closing the distance and eventually found a spot with sufficient support and proper view for a shot at 439. This was my first ever moose opportunity and I didn't want the critter getting away. There was no way I was going to take a less that sure shot. Passing on shots is a routine thing, I don't give it much though for game I routinely hunt. Can't say how many critters I passed on this year due to unsure shooting conditions. I know for sure a 10 point buck (smallish but very nice). Several does due to positions the does had taken, sky-lighted without a backstop. [/QUOTE]
