I use a homemade target that looks similar to an Iron Cross with a white block in the middle.

Steve, I had a big Bull Caribou come through my yard last Year and he had a Large Orange Ring painted on his Side...Like a Bulls eye ! I called Fish and Game and they said he was collared and had been injected with Tranquilizer so I shouldnt shoot that one !!!LOL

Dang... almost sounded like they had passed legislation in AK that made it easier for hunters with poor eyesight. *chuckle*

i'm afraid i couldn't hit a moose even if they did spray it flourescent orange.

SwedeSteve · 03-12-2008, 07:55 AM

I can just imagine Moose standing there, scratching his head! What the,,,,? LOL

An m91, m91/30 or an m44 bayo? *chuckle*

I know I'd prefer the 91 or 91/30, as I want as much distance advantage I could get on those antlers!
