[QUOTE="Howland, post: 1362658, member: 103509"] I was fortunate enough to get picked in the NH moose lottery. Each permit holder was required to attend a NH F&G seminar. They recommended .30-06 as a minimum caliber. They also said moose shot in the heart or lungs went an average of 17 feet. Moose shot in the head or neck went over 1/4 mile. A moose can find some seriously nasty stuff to hang up in over a quarter mile. My partner shot ours with his .308. He is probably the most talented marksman I know personally, probably because he started as a kid shooting squirrels with a .22lr. The moose dropped in his tracks. Just use enough gun. Shot placement is more important than how much more than enough gun. [/QUOTE]
