[QUOTE="Brent, post: 15768, member: 99"] I don't know how much detail you all need where you hunt but I need to count points on the antlers here just to make sure the moose is legal. I also have to make sure the points are on the brow palm not the rear palm, or if it's a 50" spread or wider too. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] 40 power is really all you can use 95 percent of the time, unless you're real close and don't need the extra power anyway.
