[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1201209, member: 13110"] Moose are much the same as you experienced with your Bison. I shot my cow moose with my .416 Rem using 300gr X-bullets at 2960fps. I hit her with the first shot and she didn't react even though I saw her body shudder. So I shot her again and a couple seconds later she was staggering backwards and fell down. She was dead with the first but was still standing. I shot my bull here in Idaho with a .358STA using 250's a little over 3000fps. It was pretty much the same thing except he turned towards me and I didn't shoot him again. A couple buddies shot bulls, also with .358STA's, in Alaska and they did the same thing. IMO Black bears react way more to being shot then a moose, especially when you shoot them with big calibers. We've shot them with calibers up to a .500 Weatherby (.460 necked up to .50). A .458 Lott's, .470 Captick, and .460 Weatherby are wicked on black bears. We shot 14 bears one spring off of the same bait with the big boomers. It was impressive to see them get crushed when those big bullets hit them. [/QUOTE]
