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.
worthless sport hunters. what dicks
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!
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.
guys who hunt with bows > guys who hunt with rifles.
not when they use compound bows like little girls...
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.
delicious red meat
yes, it is.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.
yes, it is.
and we call deer venison.
for atot,he should have climbed up in a tree,jumped on the mooses back and stabbed him repeatedly while screaming" I'm a winner,I'm a winner".
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.

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.

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.
