Proud to say Lomadelray Jr. just shot his first moose at age 15, in interior Alaska.
The hunt was self guided, and he was the third generation of this family to take a moose out of this valley.
Moose was about a 40 incher with nice symmetry.
This Moose had disproportionately large front quarters compared to any other moose I have shot or seen shot for it's age. Each front quarter weighed about 150lbs.
The gun was a marlin XL7 chambered in 30-06 with a Nikon Prostaff 3-9 variable scope.
The bullet was a 150gr Barnes TTSX, that had 100% weight retention after a 300yd shot that went thru both shoulders and stopped just under the hide on the far side.
The moose was moving right to left at a trot, having been pushed out of a thicket by a larger bull.
Shot on day 6 of a planned ten day hunt after 4 days of constant rain and one deep freeze.
