[QUOTE="300magman, post: 493873, member: 24769"] I have seen this as well! Eight (8) 180gr .308 all in an area the size of a dinner plate, virtually on top of the "kill zone" at less than 300 yards. And a rather unconcerned response from the moose. I've also seen 1 shot kills, but those moose didn't fall flat by any means either, they just lumbered off. BTW, moose don't need teeth, I've never heard of (as far as I can recall) a moose charging a hunter in response to being shot at. But I've heard several reports of rut crazed moose responding to a hunter's calls only to be infuriated by the lack of a mate or challenger upon arriving at the callers location. There have been fatalities.....1000lbs of horn, moving at maybe 30mph? (conservative guess) I imagine its similar to being hit by a car, except a car won't trample and continue to bash you with its head after it hits you. [/QUOTE]
