I hope alien visits us and shoot that tard in the stomach when he's just walking around the neighborhood. Oh and I guess we all need population control as well.

uh, yeah, he missed.

i'm no moose anatomy expert, but the best he did was hit it in the liver. not even close to the heart or lungs.

also cool how mods can tell people to STFU as much as they want, the rest of us get warnings.

close your brainbucket, your lime jello will fall out.

1. It was a heart/lung shot.
2. Warnings are handed out to those asking for it. I don't imagine I need to elaborate on this.

That was definitly a heart lung shot. Watch it in slow motion. Just behind the shoulder. Of course when the moose stretches out to run it makes the arrow look like it is lower. I would say it was a good kill.

...


Looks to low/far back to me, but as you say its hard to tell as the bushes knock it round as it runs.


Edit: Must be a bitch to drag all the good bits home out of the woods!

See this link for all you " anatomy experts ". The heart is very low and behind the front leg. The chance of hitting it with an arrow are very small. You have to shoot for the lung shot, which is very effective with a broad head. He will bleed out in no time.

It was a good solid lung shot.

The part that bothers me is how close he is to the moose and yet, his shot allows the moose to charge off 20 or 30 yards before going down. That's just sloppy or lack of knowledge regarding anatomy.

I've seen a whitetail deer run 30 yards with a heart that had been nearly cut in two by the broadhead passing through it. Sometimes they just don't fall in their tracks no matter how good the shot is.

not when they use compound bows like little girls...

I remember taking archery in PE, we got to choose whether we used compound or long bows.

It seemed the girls favored compound, while the men took long bows. Now, a few boys shot the compound bow and a few women choose long, but the dichotomy was quite apparent.

damn, that's pretty fucked up. i consider a bow a valid hunting weapon, and don't have hatred for someone JUST because that's how they choose to hunt.

but i had thought a typical 'kill shot' to a deer, as long as your get adequate penetration, would take it down nearly immediately (with a bow...please no one argue that they've seen a deer run off with a slug in its chest).

if, however, it does not, i would say i have similar feelings as those about the OP.

i am no moose expert. or deer expert...but deer would be what i have experience with. at least the deer hunters i know actually practice some sort of marksmanship if using a bow- i.e. they shoot from a distance; they don't just hide and then basically use their bow like a 'kill stick' or whatever they call the little ramset-looking thing that's used to slaughter livestock. a harpoon gun may have been more humane...

i had assumed a moose had its organs in about the same place as a deer, and had googled to confirm. still seems like a bad shot to me, but if he was indeed trying to tag it right below the rib cage and catch part of a lung, it was a good shot.

however, it still stands- why the fuck would you kill an animal like that? i can see the sport of hunting with a bow...longbow or flatbow, that is. as mentioned i don't understand the 'bragging rights' with a compound bow. light pull, sighting system, quick-release devices...all things designed to lessen the amount of skill needed to operate the weapon. it's like bragging about how many 'girl' pushups you can do.

...back on track, it remains- if the means you are using to hunt with are not capable of killing an animal within seconds, you suck ass as a human being.

and whoever said 'big game have thick skulls, can't headshot,' or something to that effect- give me a break. you're just parroting an excuse used by those who won't risk damaging their 'prize.' if someone can provide some kind of evidence that a standard high caliber rifle round like a .308 (which iirc is still one of the weaker rounds of its size, .300 win mag ang some of the others have a good bit more energy) will not kill large game, i'll eat my fucking hat. if it has the energy to get through a steel plate, it PROBABLY has the energy to shatter and penetrate a skull.

anyway, done here now, don't care about arguing (further) with sport 'hunters;' most of them have already demonstrated why they're obviously not worth fighting with.

delicious red meat

is that moose?

deer tastes great to me, like really lean beef. super moist, juicy, and flavorful if done right, even without all the fat.

i've heard moose and elk have a much 'gamier' taste that is not favored by that many, though.

oh, and the thing i was thinking of in that long post above is a 'bang stick,' which is apparently for aquatic use. the ones for livestock are 'captive bolt pistols.' and apparently they're not that common anymore...now they just electrocute the cow to stun it then kill it through exsanguination. fuck

edit: nevermind...read wikipedia and it says the bolt that comes out the end stuns instead of kills...why?

good thing i hate vegetables or i'd totally be vegan by now.

I don't have an ethical problem with people hunting, but it does seem to me you have to have a pretty hard heart to kill a huge, beautiful animal like that just for sport. Not my cup of tea at all.

Where's Ted Nugent to teach these mouth breathing hillbillies the proper way to kill cleanly!

In other words, you spouted off like a moron and couldn't back up your claims.

I don't like hunting either, but your posts in this thread are fucking dumb as shit and you were very clearly overreacting (I didn't even see DrPizza tell you to STFU, he just said you were wrong, explained more and then correctly pointed out you didn't know what you were talking about). After your posts here I'm really concerned that it was shit you smeared all over your 360.

Many animals have large, thick, angular skulls that are as likely to deflect a bullet as anything, let alone an arrow. Even if you hit it, its probably not going to be an instant kill, so heart/lungs is the most humane. But by all means explain how you're gonna get a head shot on a moose with antlers like those.

I can't say I enjoyed the video, I do find it shitty to kill such a majestic animal just because you want bragging rights. Even if you eat the meat, that's only marginally better as were it not to brag you wouldn't have been hunting it in the first place. I think better bragging right would have been to pat it on the nose. Then you can brag.

What kind of hat are you going to eat, and how will it be prepared?

While this link is anecdotal, there are a lot of info out there if you search for "bear hunting skull thickness", maybe add ricochet. Also, I am fairly certain all western states require the skull to be brought in to the game department for measurements. They test the teeth, check skull thickness, etc.

Think of how hard a Bison's skull must be, to ram each other during rutting season. Anyway, I am not a hunter but shooting the skull does not appear to be the most humane method in the least.

http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9741919888/m/1501945579

While I have no first hand experience with wild hogs, I have seen this happen twice with black bear. The slug didn't bounce off but it did glance to the side, skip along under the hide, and exit close to the ear without cracking the skull, once with a .44 mag on the ground at very close range, and once with a .300 Win Mag on a treed one. I think it's a combination of extremely hard bones and the sloping angle of the head.

You have no idea what you're talking about and obviously have never been hunting. I hate hunting because it's boring as hell but I've been multiple times and you sir, don't know anything about it.

I'm all for hunting for meat...but I'm anti-trophy hunting.

As long as you're going to eat what you kill...fine. If it's just for the bragging rights, no.
I'm not familiar enough with the guy to know which one he is...

I've never been a big fan of killing moose. Their numbers are dwindling in most places...and lots of people don't eat the meat.

this. the video where he finds the bull he killed is a little disturbing to me because he's jacking around with the moose's antlers and the poor moose isn't fully dead yet. it's blinking while he's playing with his trophy. to me, that's not too cool. at least put it out of its misery first.
