Rained Out at the Range, Mistwolf Charges Moose

[hjmpanzr]

When we got to the range, a heavy rainstorm hit. We pushed through for a while, but the weather eventually won out. On the way back down the mountain, we saw two moose (we had seen one on the way in). So Mistwolf (fellow M4carbiner, budding photographer and aspiring antler fodder) armed only with his camera, tactically charged the moose.

The targets:





Mistwolf stalks the prey:



He triumphs as Moose #2 flees:



Great area; Beautiful animals (Mistwolf excluded)! Maybe he can post a couple of photos of his two adversaries.

Nice. Moose is yummy



where are his pics?

"Tune in next week as Mrs Mistwolf spends the insurance money!"

Just kidding. I did not know they had moose in Utah. My son lives there, and loves the state.

Are moose pretty tasty? I love me some elk, and wonder if moose would be similar.

Moose is very tasty!

I just moved to UT and we've seen moose each time we've gone shooting at this particular location. Unfortunately, I'm sure if I got a tag for moose they would all suddenly disappear.

Is it hard to get a moose tag?

Judging from how close Mistwolf is getting to them, all you need is a pointed stick.

My son is not into hunting, but he's definitely into eating. And a full grown moose might even hold him over until dinner. The boy has an appetite.

Unfortunately, the shutter speed on my camera was set too slow for me to get good, sharp photos but I did my best to salvage what I had. Takes a real expert to blow a photo op like this!


All that stalking I did with my fancy Nikon and hjmpanzr got better photos without leaving the car, using his pocket camera.

For the record, I wasn't disarmed. I had my faithful PPQ for the mighty 9mm with me

Shiras I assume? Wasatch range?

So cool! Great shots.

Wasn't there a wildlife photos thread going on in this forum for a while?

I think it depends on the state, I know it is difficult in Wyoming and a friend of mine (who is a game warden) has been putting in every year since he got back from Iraq in 07. But he might be going for a specific place that is harder to draw in.

I know it is really difficult to draw in Maine, I was just talking to a hunter at a his warehouse because he had a Moose head on the wall and he's been putting in in Maine for 15 years, and he finally just paid for a hunt in Newfoundland because he was sick of waiting for a tag.

I can't speak for Utah but I bet it is just as difficult especially for an out of stater.
