I was hunting moose 100 km north of Nakina, Ontario. I used Code Blue that morning and it all came together! He came out of the bush right in front of me when I called 19 yards on the range finder. When he did see me, it was only because of the yellow Jeep beside me; but by then it was too late. He was mad so he shoved his anthers into the pile of brush of cut down trees from logging. He picked up a pile with his anthers and tossed them like popsicle sticks. By then I had the crossbow sighted on him. I nailed him good and he ran about 25 feet from adrenalin and drop dead on the path. 22 point 53 inches It was my first kill of a moose.
