Bruce, heck of a score. I too enjoy the 348wcf. Damn killing machine that one. I would say the only thing that might have been better was an 86 ELW in 45-90. I would like to know one thing thought, how did you keep the coyotes off it? here in NH they would have been on that thing somewhere between the second and third trips in!
Bill, I think you find moose meat quite delicious, Over here in NE when some one was lucky enough to get drawn in the lottery, which you might have better odds at powerball now, one of things that was done was to grind it and make meatballs. Which, tongue in cheek here, we simply called moose balls. The roasts are delightful also given that they eat a lot of aquatic grasses here. 
Bruce your making me hungry BTW
  

We put a coat or 2 around the kill ,seems to keep the Coyotes away’
I actually own a 45-90 elw takedown , but haven’t fired it . Might temp me to take it on a moose hunt 
Bruce 
  

Oh yeah!  Tom, me and several others around here would get excited about that.  

I’m just excited about hearing about your .45-90 ELW.  Not everyone here has one.

Yes, please post photographs and a narrative as to how you came to acquire it.

And, maybe a follow up about the moose you might take with it in the next few years.

Zeb, You just need to look at the size of Bruce, He’d just carry it out whole. You fellas in Texas have “venison” We have “moose meat”.
  

I suspect that it also helped that he looks younger than at least a couple of us around here Wink

Congratulations xxx! In my Hunting & Winchester’s way of thinking, that’s the ultimate use of an old WCF Levergun & Cartridge! Being from the SE USA, its always been just a dream experience, so thanks for the show & tell!
