Colorado Sunday evening Sept 8. After applying 30 years for a bull tag without drawing I said screw it and put in for a cow this year. Couldn't be happier. I don't have another 30 years to wait!

Colorado 8:34am opening day, 42 yard shot, fell 10 yards from the shot. Ending up having more help than I could have ever asked for. Big shout out to Stoneman and Lark Bunting as well as the local CPW wardens up there who not only helped with the skinning process but loading up her quarters into their UTV and dropping them off at the truck! Unheard of

These are rifle kills so if ya dont like it you better close your eyes for a bit haha. Weather was pretty good for the days we hunted, little breezy and rainy, which was obviously perfect for our hunt! Started out calling and raking alot the day we got dropped off. Next morning we were hiking through a meadow into a small line of willows and caught something out of corner of my eye and realized it was a big bull in bow range, bad part is he was directly down wind and busted us and took off running, I knew he was big so I made the decision to switch to a rifle for my very first bull! In hindsight, if I wouldve known how fast we would have tagged out I would have held out with my bow!

Here's another one for the meat pole....took this bull on 9/09 in the NWT. The bulls at that time were just starting to rut.....cruising but not yet with cows. This one had already been fighting some, with a few freshly busted tips on the palms. About a 40 yard shot and a 75-yard recovery.

Red tent to the right, decoy to the left.
Red tent to the right, decoy to the left.
Not the biggest, but being within 100 yards of my dropoff point and me hunting solo sealed his fate. Pretty much shot him from my tent (which you can see in the background along with the moose decoy he had a deadly obsession with). Called the night before since I couldn't hunt that day anyway, woke up, took a leak and heard grunting coming from behind me. Walked right past me on his way to the decoy. Quickest moose hunt ever. Loaded him in the plane the same day and was back at my buddies lodge that night.

Man what a thread so far!! Some great bulls guys, congrats and thanks for sharing!
I leave on Saturday to start the journey north. Picking up 2 buddies in Alberta and then heading to the Yukon to fly back into Northern BC for an 11 day hunt on a fly-in lake. We have an inflatable boat and canoe and going to be 3 of us trying to get it done with a bow and will also have a rifle or two along. This thread is keeping the dream alive and passing the time until we head north!

This is the 3rd Moose tag my father has drawn in Montana in his life. We hunted really hard and hadn't seen a moose for 5 days and I finally called in this old bull with the "Bisquick" jug (42 inch spread). It worked great and he came into 20 yards and tried to circle downwind. It's a rifle kill but I could have shot him with my bow but it took over an hour to get him to commit. Bull grunts, cow calls, limb breaking and raking the bisquick jug:)

I was focused on elk hunting when I ran into this bull in a steep river valley. I first heard him grunt at me while I was fighting my way through some thick brush. When I heard it I thought, “I hope he’s not big because I don’t want to shoot a moose down in here!” Well he was too big to not shoot. I called back to him like I was a cow moose and walked right up to him, 30 yds. Always nice to have an over the counter moose tag in your pocket just in case. Archery kill, you can barely see my bow in the pic.

My first Iron Will moose!
My first Iron Will moose!
I wanted to try these broadheads on some bigger critters, very sharp, rugged, chopped a rib in half on the way in, hit back of both lungs, stopped just after poking through hide on other side and the bull only went 60 yds. 510 grain Victory xtorsion arrow out of a 72 lb Hoyt Defiant, but not a complete pass through. Not sure why? Arrow flight looks great. Same thing happened with an elk.
From: carcus
02-Oct-19
Nice moose mike, I've had the same thing happen from time to time, close to the same set up as you, 485gr fmj arrow, exodus bh 70lb realmX, this year elk at 25 yards, broadhead was poking the hide on the far side, this years moose at 40 arrow blew through taking out ribs, last years moose no exit either at 40 yards
From: altitude sick
02-Oct-19
Mike, congrats on the bull.
if your not busy, run the arrow over a crono and calculate your momentum.
Maybe those cams are not putting enough cast into the arrow. Or the Arrow is flexing or in some way not driving straight at impact.
At that arrow and bow weight and BH choice, it does seem like you should have a pass through.
From: altitude sick
02-Oct-19
I guess With compounds they call it “dynamic efficiency”
Companies use a 540 grain arrow for the measurement.
From: Mike Ukrainetz
02-Oct-19
Thanks for the tips guys! My arrow shoots 245 ft/sec, slow by today's standards but what do you expect at 510 grains? The xtorsion arrow has stainless steel in it and doesn't seem to flex much, flies like a dart in a slow mo video but anyway, don't want to derail the moose meatpole, keep posting 'em!!
