Congrats. You did good.
I don't know what I would do if I couldn't chase after ole "Bullwinkle" every year

. We have very liberal archery seasons out here where a "general moose" tag can be utilized over a good portion of the whole province during the "rut" every year

. The riflers generally have to wait about every three to five years to get a draw in a particular zone. My first moose was back in the late 70's with a 270 win. Since then the 15+ swamp donkeys I have taken have all been with stick and string. The adrenaline rush of a 1500+lb rubber nose coming in grunting and smashing trees looking for a fight is quite indescribeable. Average shots are 20 yds but had some as close as 4 feet.
Elk on the other hand are my "nemesis"

. I have come so close so many times (twice this year). I've been chasing them as long as the moose but have only harvested ~6. Allready looking forward to next years "rut"
