Thread: Moose

They've done 1080 drops in the Keplers too. I guess now we know the real reason why.

They 1080 the Eglington every year, it must be the most poisoned piece of real estate in the world. Compelling...

I thought the plan was to send Tahr down with his .223 to sort it out, he know how to take photos as proof as well.

They work good on moose!

Was there no WARO on these areas?

Would have thought the chopper boys be keen enough to shoot one for the craic

Love a good NZ moose thread - no one will believe until someone shoots one and drags it out of there.

The best type of moose is Chocolate Moose, far easier to find and dispatch...........

I wonder.. Who would, if they saw a moose down there, take the shot? I wouldn't. Among other things I wouldn't wish to be known as thew person who killed the last moose.

Not that i've ever been to Fiordland, but for me there would be an internal struggle if i were looking at one through the scope, not sure i would pull the trigger either.

It would be a dilemma. I hate to say it but I probably would. Or I am afraid I would. But you never know till you come to the moment. But it might depend on where you saw it. There is no point in shooting a moose in the middle of Fiordland because no one would believe a photo, you need to carry it out...

I know I wouldn't shoot the moose. Just too much NZ hunter history and culture and Id love to think they have survived!

But with all the talk of big cats, If a leopard or jaguar type big cat walked out in front of me, Id drop it in a heart beat. The difference to me is one belongs too our culture. One doesn't.

Did you ever hear the story how a certain meat shooter in Te Anau had shot a cow moose but was afraid of the blow back if he spilled his guts?

I personally knew the chap along with his meat shootin mates...there were witnesses.
Te Anau seen many imports arriving,,all sorts after the news was out from one of the two other witnesses.
However.. no one said sweet f all when all the questions started.
Was it all just a load of shit? or just another ..only those that know.. really know.
