Title: LITTLEBIGMAN downs moose
Post by: Shaun on September 30, 2007, 10:06:00 AM

Just got an e from Jim Gilmer - LITTLEBIGMAN - saying he heart shot a nice 3 year old bull at 6 paces! He's still in camp and promised pics and stories when he gets back. I have spent time afield and in camp with Jim and know him as a friend and as a trad hunter he is the real deal. Many kudos Jim!

That has to be exciting to be only 6 paces from a moose. Did you have a plan -b, if he decided to come to see you?

Six paces?!?! Congrats, especially on keeping your head on straight. Moose can be very intimidating animals up close. I've known of more than a few guys who've come unhinged at longer distances than that when confronted with a bull moose. Well done!!!
