Hunting Rifle
The large size of a moose dictates that a suitable caliber rifle be used.
The rifle should be one which maximizes your potential opportunities while
minimizing the animals unnecessary suffering or loss. Many caliber's are
considered suitable for hunting moose, as long as they have the necessary
power for a clean kill. A heavier bullet is recommended for game the size
of a moose, as it is the bullets weight which influences penetration and
expansion. This will, of course, lead to somewhat less velocity producing
poorer trajectory, but, in turn produce

s more shocking power at
relatively shorter ranges, thereby being more effective for game as
large and as tough as the moose.
Here is a list of hunting caliber recommended for moose hunting; 30-06 Springfield,
308 Winchester, 7mm REmingtom Magum, 300 Winchester Magnum, 300 Weatherby Magnum, 7mm Weatherby Magnum |
Black Powder Equipment

Archery Equipment
The hunting bow required for taking a large bruin should have a draw weight of 60 to 70 pounds at 28".
The most efficient and deadly hunting arrow should be heavy. Arrows should be mounted
with bright coloured fletching, white also shows up well against dark
fur of the moose. Easton XX75 shafts sizes of 2020, 2117, 2216, 2315 are
recommended. Traditional archers generally prefer wood arrows mounted with solid Snuffer or Zwickey broadheads.
What The Bowhunter Should Keep In Mind!
Penetration and pin-point accuracy is the name of the game when it comes
to moose hunting. Concentrate on your ability to deliver a heavy arrow
through both lungs. A fast arrow speed is not necessary. Unlike the
whitetail deer, the moose does not jump the string.
The arrow must be heavy to pass completely through the chest far a
large exit hole.
