Dutch Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Not an ethical shot. If it wasn't a kill shot, the chance for recovery would be very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 What is wrong with that? The guy can clearly shoot well. Nice bull! And good to see the kids out there getting involved!! S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 There was no stalking, no challenge to the harvest considering the obvious skill of the shooter, and if he had missed the vitals, there would be little if any chance for a humane recovery. As for getting the kids involved, all he did was show off his skill with a firearm, not his skill at camoflauge and tracking. The child learned nothing of the thrill of the hunt. This is just my opinion, you have yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAW Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Personally, I wouldn't be jumping all over this guy. Camera angles can be very deceiving. This week I was out on Simcoe with 2 customers from work. It got really! choppy, so I had to head in. When i got the boat on shore, I was very very very happy that my feet where on asphalt. So I took quick video of the waves.. I showed my wife, and the basically called me a Pu....sy. Mean time, I was inches from being swamped in my 14' tinner.. You really would have had to be there to judge this guy. For all we know, that was a 4 to 500 meter shot. No problem for a experienced shooter. As for his daughter. That's the kind of hunt I would bring a young child on.. You don't want to bring them ona deep woods bush whack where their going to get destroyed by bugs, and be traumatized for life.. What do I know... I'm not a moose hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I doubt the video.. but even a 30-06 is well within range with a good scope at 1100 yards (3300 feet). Why you never target practice without a back stop !!! 30-06 Springfield (180 gr SP BT) Muzzle Velocity 2700 ft/s Maximum Range 5675 yard, 3.22 mile Impact Velocity 800 ft/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Better then a slaughter house. 1100 yards is doable.i could make that shot. Edited June 24, 2011 by glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 It's doable, although I think he'd be pointing at the moon for an 1100 yd shot with a 30-06. At 500, a 30-06 will drop just shy of 36 inches. There was another video of another guy dropping a coyote at that distance. The best live shot I've made is 420yds with a 165gr 30-06.

grimsbylander Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think it a fake...first look carefully at the background behind the moose before the shot. There is a fairly high gravel embankment. Afterwards, when he is beside the moose, you can see the sun low and through the trees. The biggest issue though is watch the moose go down...rear end first, then lays down on its left side. At the end of the video the moose is laying on its right side. Hmmmm, don't think he and his 2 year old rolled it over for the camera shot. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickme Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Not an ethical shot. If it wasn't a kill shot, the chance for recovery would be very unlikely. I agree 100%. from that range there is SOOOO much room for error and missing. If your "hunting" you should always shoot to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitespinnerbait Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Fake....enough said !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Total fake guys. Watch the zoom out frame by frame and you will see one of the moose on the left side of the frame will disappear before the zoom out. Total Bull fake. Its also more than 1100m across that lake. Fake on sooooo many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutdoorDan Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think the ethics of that shot are for everyone to decide for themselves based on their shooting ability. As for no stalking and no challenge to the hunt, I myself don't see much of an appeal for hunting like that, but it's illogical to say that hunting must necessarily happen in a challenging fashion. What about stocked fish ponds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 yeah but the guy that took credit for it, didn't shoot it and the distance is a lie too but that is 2 different dead moose and they are dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
