Just thought I'd share 'em. This moose I spotted yesterday morning in St Francis
and this one last Sunday near Brownville.

Nice swamp donkey. I miss seeing them, but don't miss dodging them on the roads. A friend of mine finally hit one in northern NH last week.

Good pics.
That moose is a very large animal. What caliber does it take to bring one down? |

I wouldn't try it without at minimum .308 or 30-06, but I think I'd go with something like 300 Win Mag. I'm sure someone can correct me. 
eta, here's a couple links I found with a quick yahoo search. Lots of pictures http://www.moose-pictures.com/maine_moose_photos.html http://www.moose-pictures.com/world_record_moose.html |

Old timers used to talk about taking moose with a .22 semi auto. They said just keep shooting the moose in the boiler house and he will go down. (I don't support poaching, just repeating the story) |

I really love 30-30 for deer etc. but not sure if I would go that small for moose. |

Nice tender young moose.
Heard of some getting caught by rope from a boat. Also with a .22 pistol. Do not condone poaching. For years all a cousin used was a 30/30 trapper. Moose season has started up here on federal lands. 
Starts in Sept for state land. |

Yeah, I wouldn't want to try to cool an animal that big, or a deer for that matter, in 50 or 60 degree weather either. One advantage to cool autumns.  Our season isn't till roughly October and November.
