For a third year in a row, I harvest a moose on opening week-end with my Micro. Got a complete passthrough from a 40 yards shot and the arrow went another 25 yards and went into the ground halfway. The moose was walking when I took the shot, only had 5 feet of clearing to make the shoot so I had to be fast.
I usually aim for the lungs, the last 2 moose only went 25 yards after they got shot and a massive blood trail to follow, but this time, the shot was 3-4 inches higher than I would like too and about 6 inches behind the leg.
So I waited 45 min. then start searching for the moose. Barely any blood, 6 or 7 small drops. It was easier to follow the track then the blood. After 125 yards, I started to question the shoot or if I will even find it. I even looked at the footing from my Gopro and at 40 yards, you don’t see much without a zoom, but I can clearly hear the arrow hit the moose. I did try to find the arrow at first, but did not found it.
Walk another 25 yards and finally found him

After inspecting the moose, the arrow went dead center in the heart and exit on the other side of the moose. Found the arrow after more searching in the ground. In my mind, this confirm my theory that it is way better to hit the lungs than the heart for fast recovery for moose at least.
That moose was a beast to get out of the wood. We usually use our VTT to pull them out of the woods. This one would not even move. So we had to use the VTT winch along with the engine to pull the moose. Midway, the winch died

Next year, we are going to invest in a gas winch for sure. It was a short season but a fun one. Enjoy the pictures.
