[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2625577, member: 313"] Encountering moose at 100yds is also a function of terrain. Hunting in the vast bogs of Newfoundland there were plenty of sightings at distance and many did not respond to calls. Not everyone is hunting during the rut either. If you plan to hunt long than bring an appropriate firearm. Opinions of what is appropriate vary. My opinion that a .308 is a poor choice for hunting moose at 400yds hasn't changed based on your experience. A .223 can kill whitetails at 400yds too but it's also a poor choice in my opinion and the deer aren't wearing kevlar during the hunting season. If I owned only one rifle then I'd take it and hope for the best. But like most of us here on LRH, I own numerous longrange firearms. If I expect to encounter game at extended range I'll select an appropriate firearm for the task. Just my thoughts, your mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
