I would not do this, but my goodness those were great shots. Anyone saying otherwise has not tried to make shots from that distance. Two in a row is insane.
900-1000 yards is where the 338 Lapua excells it was designed as a sniper round that has a maximum effect range of 1600 yards but has been used effectively well past 2000 yards A 338 Lapua will push a 300 grain bullet at 2800fps/mv In the hands of a competent well practiced shot a 960 yard shot on a moose sized vital area is both ethical and very make able. With a 300 grain bullet a 338 LM still has very close to 2k foot-pounds of impact way more than enough to kill anything in North America
Those were amazing shots considering how much .338 lapua drops at that distance. But it would have still been carrying around 1900ft/lbs of energy. That's very ethical but the bullet would have slowed enough it may not expand properly. All depends on what bullets they were using.

I’m sure you’ll have heard it before…..shooting distance like this for targets is one thing. For game, it’s reckless and irresponsible. Too many things can happen between the shot and impact - that’s not opinion, that’s fact. The mark of a great hunter is not over the horizon marksmanship. It’s the ability to engage game within 2-300yds and consistently deliver a one shot kill every time. You’ve obviously spent enough time at the range, and I commend you on that. It’s time to spend more time actually hunting. Don’t be lazy. Do the work. The game you hunt deserves it.
An understandable argument for sure...covers most hunters I would say...but not all. The 1% of hunters that understand fully what they are doing with their weapon are not covered in this argument. That's why it's not unlawful to hunt this way. If it did become unlawful...you might have an objective point. Until then...it's just your subjective opinion my friend...
@@MattBlomquist-wl9kk I also shoot long distance, but his opinion isn't "subjective". It's rather very objective. Had the percentages been reversed, I'd agree with you but to call the one percent subjective lacks objectivity...

Getting into the game at that distance may not be my cup of tea but WOW! That definitely takes some marksmanship! Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your beautiful trophy!
@@jessicablomquist1285love how you only reply to the ONE comment praising you for the distance. Disgusting human you should be the next, maybe 1000 yards 😂
All these people complaining lol a tag is a tag. Here in the coast range of oregon bow hunters are the most unethical hunters. We find dead elk not recovered several times a year. Its pathetic!
Damn,that big guy took two lapua's and was still walking around,what a stud! Don't know what moa is on that round but you can clearly see a hell of a lot of drop downrange.👏👍
All the fudds and keyboard warriors in here saying that this is unethical and isn't good sport. Firstly, what defines a "sporting hunt"? Is there a certain range limit? What weapons are you allowed to use? What species are on the table? In what exact ways does a hunter need to act for it to be considered proper? Is any hunting fair unless it is meticulously stalked until you are close enough to hit it with a rock, which gives it the best chance to escape? All of these comments are utterly ridiculous and are from people that most likely spend all of their time "hunting" from a tree stand shooting game from 40 yards away in a field. Hunting SHOULD be ethical, but hunting is more important for conservation and natural maintenance than your perspective of ethics. If people only hunted as you described, we would not have any hunters because almost nobody has the time, finances, skill, drive, and resources to hunt in that way. Additionally, telling people how they can or cannot hunt is extremely arrogant and entitled, especially when you are most likely not capable of replicating those same feats. I don't want to hear about how you "REAL bow hunters" took a deer at -16 yards with a primitive bow and an arrow made of sharpened wood while being covered in mud and feces makes you a real man. Nobody cares. Hunting is not about being a man, but about doing what is good for nature and encouraging self sufficiency. Now please, shut the fuck up.
As far as I can tell, a bunch of these nitwits think you should give the moose a knife and take it down in hand-to-hand combat. This was a very impressive takedown. The second shot just sped things up a bit but he was down on the first for sure.
Curious what bullet you used? I shoot a .340 Weatherby Mag which is a little more efficient and a lot cheaper to shoot with factory ammo but I want to load some 26gr. Long Range Accubonds. Not a shot I would take unless I had to fill my freezer but glad to know I could. Do you use an UTV to get to the animal? Any bears where you are, they hear the shot, smell the blood and get there before you do in some areas’s if your hiking to the kill.
Impressive shots. What optics were you using? I've never hunted anything bigger than deer at about 300-400 yards with my .308. How'd you get the big guy out of there? Was it harvested on site?
Thank you for posting, I have a 338 Lapua and haven't taken a shot hunting yet. Awesome to see the effect on a Moose. The trails of the bullet are awesome! Nice shot!
My best friend told me he got a Lupua about 6 months ago. Last month he told me he no longer wants to hunt, it's for competition. Also says the rounds are about $14 each. Ouch.
It's a deep rabbit hole to really get the most out of that round. It's expensive and time consuming...not for everybody. Only a few guys out there that are dumb enough to keep going and keep trying. Way cheaper and easier to go to the grocery store
@@MattBlomquist-wl9kk One way to say it, I prefer "you have your toys and your sandbox, I have mine." I think the food I put in my plate that I harvested, tastes a bit better. If it's all about how much you spent on it, yep - best not to get involved. The path I walk thru life does not have to be anyone else's. Enjoy yours. 😁 (Yep, this round ain't cheap. This rig ain't the common one used for daily groceries. I prefer bow and arrow for most of my groceries. Every so often, it's good to carry the loud stick and reach out far like this guy did. Just saying)
I don’t see anything inhumane about it. I load 300 bergers for my lapua, chronograph at around 2750 FPS. Still over 2000 lbs of energy at that distance. 6.5 creedmoor with 140’s doesn’t have that at 100 yards. 7mm rem mag 162’s is around that at 400. Well done.. if it was a gut shot I wouldn’t be saying that but if you know your set up your probably better at 1000 yards than a lot would be at 200
No need to take long shots on rutting bulls. They probably could have grunted their way into a 30 yard shot and not wasted that front shoulder meat if they knew what they were doing.
Ok little buddy...I have a question So where do you shoot him at 30yds if not the shoulder? The guts? And ruin more meat? The destruction you would get shooting at 30yds is way worse than the destruction at 960yds little buddy! Thats becaiuse of something called ballistics! The closer you are...the more power the bullet has!!! Isn't that neat little buddy? You blow really big holes when you're up close and small holes when your further away! You should read up on it before commenting about something you have never thought about before. We didn't actually lose anything from the shot. The bullet expanded and stopped inside his body. Just a little entry hole and nothing more.
@@MattBlomquist-wl9kk I also find your condescending tone hilarious. You’re telling me that Bull limped in his front leg and needed a second shot and that you didn’t wipe out and of that front shoulder meat? I’ve snuck them between the brisket and the front shoulder before without ruining any meat, but that’s not what it looks like happened here. But whatever dude, tell a 3rd generation Alaskan whose family shoots three to four trophy class moose every year how to hunt moose. Haha.
@@MattBlomquist-wl9kk well, if you snuck it in there from that distance it’s an even more incredible shot than it was to begin with. But I still stand by my opinion that it’s totally unnecessary when hunting moose. I know people like to do it and I know that a lot of those people don’t talk about the ones they don’t recover.
Outstanding marksmanship. Very impressive. Congrats on the huge bull. For those wondering what all the controversy is about, at that distance, the animal can move in the time it takes for the bullet to reach it. What would have been perfect shot placement can turn into horrible shot placement , subjecting the animal to a long and agonizing death. That’s why some would call a 960 yd shot irresponsible.
And that’s why you only hunt with a spear and a self bow. It’s probably more difficult to take consecutive 900+yd shots than to get within 100yds. Moose aren’t known for their timid nature lol.
SO CALLED "Hunters" on here who repremand other SKILLED hunters makes me sick. Hunters vs Hunters pisses me off. Just like your supposedly sick over seeing someone place not only ONE precise shot at long distance BUT, two! And this whole analogy of, "SNEAKING UP SO CLOSE YOU CAN SMELL THE ANIMAL and MAKING AN ETHICAL KILL" also peeves me to no end. ITS OLD LOGIC, OLD MEN!!! Get with the times. Better equipment like scopes, gunpowder, bullets, rangefinders, ballistic apps and tons of practice is what makes this ETHICAL! They didn't have all this tech back in the 1930's, the 50's, the 70's, the 90's and before which is were this old logic comes from. Or from guys who bow hunt and love to tell you, "the closer you get, the better". Bow Hunters get so egotistical when they tell stories of "i was so close to the deer, i could have pulled ticks off his hide"! Good for you, that's just one way to kill and I guarantee ya, your deer ran at least 50 yrds before it crashed! KEEP YA'LLs HUNTING BELIEFS TO YOURSELVES! Its illogical to talk about "bad ethics" when someone CLEANLY took an animal. Great shots on the moose! LOVED IT!
"SO CALLED HUNTERS"...bullshit!. I've been hunting big game before most folks on this page were sperm. That was a nice shot for sure. The problem is a lot folks who take those shots don't pull it off and the animal ends up wounded, gut shot or worse. If you think todays firearms, scopes, range finders, etc are going to bail you out you're wrong. Talk to some of Africa's PH or pro guides in Alaska and elsewhere. Most folks they take out on a hunt couldn't hit a barn door at 500 yards. But they show up with the latest caliber and start launching shots. I'm a pretty damn good shot and load my own so I know where they print. I wouldn't have taken that shot. Everyone can do what they want but sooner or later you're going to wound animals if you keep it up. Learn to hunt first. For Christ sake it's a moose not a Antelope or Bighorn. If you take your time you can walk to within 100 yards before they get suspicious. Move in as close as you can before taking a shot next time.
There's all kinds of folks calling themselves "Hunters". Means nothing. This excessive long range BS is no better than Uncle Bob emptying a lever action 30-30 at 50 yards on a deer drive and gut shooting his deer. Hunters need to police their own,,, and this isn't hunting. How many Videos have you seen posted where these shots are misses or worse yet the animal is clearly wounded and never found? I'll answer that for you,,, NONE. They harvested this animal and it was a quick kill but I'll argue all day that this is the exception. Then you get Uncle Bob watching these videos and attempting the same thing with zero chance of success.
It's not fair to the animal or the hunter. It's not about equipment either most hunters won't train to shoot like that. How many bad shots were taken that none saw and an animal was left injured. Being ethical is the most important thing hunters have to be.
As long as the animal's meat and other parts are used to feed and good use by people, hunting is ethical. It is no different than predators hunting their prey in nature. The other important fact is that hunting is maybe 1% the shooting and 99% going there, finding the legal game, waiting patiently for the right ethical shot, skinning and butchering the game, etc. The last part and the amount of effort and time it takes definitely makes the hunter to really respect the game and nature as it is no easy job by any means!
No denying the ability of a 338 to reach out and touch a huge moose at almost 1000yds. But sadly, this is not hunting, at least not anything I would call a hunt.
Maybe someday you will understand the universal definition of the word hunting and not just your own! Hunting is about filling the freezer and enjoying the outdoors.
@@MattBlomquist-wl9kkIt's also about taking an ethical shot. This moose died quick enough, but what about the next one that moves within the couple seconds it takes for the round to hit at that distance? Hunting is about being intelligent. A multiple second delay between firing and the round hitting is not intelligent. Bows don't even have a multi-second delay. This is lazy and stupid, imo.
@@DroopyWorm Point taken... TOF was 1.065 seconds Hardly a multi second delay. Watch his body language...he was listening intently...wasn't moving. I watched this bull and called to him for over an hour...he was coming in but wouldn't be in till after dark...he was well within my range so I took him. You guys only got to see the last 1:48 of that hunt. There are many chapters in that story...maybe shouldn't judge the chapters leading up to the last one if you haven't read them. Just saying. imo
@DroopyWorm lol he hunted a moose and got it... that's all that matters. How about this I consider you unethical for using a bow a real hunter goes out with a sharpened pointy stick. Oh actually let me take that back a "real hunter " uses a rock to smack the moose everything else is lazy and dishonorable... as long as he used every usable part of the moose and not just the antlers I'm good with it.
These comments are examples of why the Anti gun crowd is winning. We attack each other with hate over opinions like ethical shots. When to take a shot is up to the individual so stfu and use your rules to guide your hunting not criticizing others.
Mussle pressure is unknown for lapua but that’s an easy shot to see! The arc is aggressive! I’m looking at distance again overall nice takedown! That was a tank!! Good work!
I don’t agree with taking such long range shots for game animals. Save that for the range. You don’t have to get yourself within touching distance, but there’s no way I can find this distance to be ethical at all. No fair chase, the Moose has no chance or advantage here. The whole point of hunting is to include the “predator vs prey” aspect, and that’s just left out here.
@@jonathanmiller3613 what’s asinine about it? Back yourself up here. I may very well buy a muzzleloader simply to limit my range so I don’t ever slip up and make a bad shot. Thanks for the idea.
@@jonathanmiller3613 all you prove with a shot like this is that you can shoot quite a distance. There is no reason to test your shooting skills on live game. Paper targets are for testing your shooting skills. Hunting is for testing every other skill like being quiet and sitting patiently, tracking, wind management, luring and calling…. There’s simply none of that applied when you pull up on a hill in your 4x4, lie down and put your 6-foot long tactical rifle on a sandbag and plug a clueless game animal from 1,000 yards and then drive right to him and throw him in the back.
All I'm hearing I think is some maybe some jealousy mixed with a lack of empathy and understanding. Whether you shoot an animal at 300 or 1000...you are by definition hunting. Had that animal popped out at 50 I would have shot him...i think most guys would. In either case the freezer got filled. The question is can a person do it with precision and not just wound an animal. I get plenty of bow hunts throughout the year and I think frankly that anybody who uses a firearm has an unfair advantage on their quarry. When your hunting with any weapon, my philosophy is simple... Practice as far as you can to find your outer personal limits. Mine happens to be 1500yds with a rifle and 140 with a bow. Peel back some yardage, and that's the distance you will be confident in while hunting. My max bow range might be 80-90 based on the situation and animal. Your way of hunting is understandable, but by no means do you get to decide if mine is out of line. I guarantee you...if you had the hardware and the ability and confidence... you would have squeezed one off too if you were given the same opportunity. The problem is...not many people have the ability or the stubborn nature needed to be proficient at that distance. It takes alot of work and sacrifice to be a good shot out that far...years of work as a shooter. For your average weekend warrior...it's probably not going to happen in their lifetime.
You must not know much about what high powered rifles are capable of when properly sighted in. In the military snipers kill people at 1 mile away with properly placed shots.
Military sniping is not the same as big game hunting. Sniping requires long range capability. Hunting does not. It merely enables the lazy to avoid the effort of stalking.@@edwardwilliams5970
Oh ok... Who died and gave you the right to dictate that? In my opinion hunting is about filling the freezer... The difference between me and you is my kill radius is wider than yours...therefore I'm going to be more prepared when an opportunity presents itself...at longer distances than you. Doesn't make your style any more virtuous.
They never have an idea/chance...if you want to be successful as a hunter! If you let them know you are there...whether at 20yds or 1000yds...they will run away. So I guess I don't know what you are even talking about! Even at 200yds you need to be quiet...downwind..etc and not let him know you are there. In other words...if your a good hunter...you never give them a FAIR chance. It would mean showing yourself and running the animal off. It would mean shooting at a running animal and therefore make it impossible or unethical to shoot.It would mean going home empty handed more than likely...and make you a terrible unsuccessful hunter! I swear you people don't think before you weigh in and make fools of yourselves. Hunting with modern equipment is never fair to the quarry. It's that way for a reason.
Isn't it funny that it's always the guys complaining about long range hunting who haven't invested the incredible amount of time to learn long range ballistics, wind calling, mirage reading, bullet drops, interior, exterior and terminal ballistics, precision reloading, painstakingly accurate load development not to mention the incredible amount of money spent on good gear, custom builds, top quality optics such as spotters binos and scopes, lapua brass, good dies, presses, many range days conducting trial and error testing with powder and bullet combos, ballistics solvers, laser range finders, bag, bipod, dope log books, etc. I think the real problem with these guys who are complaining isn't about the actual long range hunting, it's about their own jealousy of not having the time, resources or money, or a combination of all 3 to do it themselves so they take a notch out of someone's else's passion, hobby, efforts and successes to try to compensate for their lack of ability(s) to do it themselves. All hunters and gun owners should be in this together, not casting stones at eachothers methods. By the OP's logic then only a true hunters should be wearingtaw hide mukluks, fur hides and using a flint knapped sinu bound spear head on a stick to hunt. Stop making a fool out of yourself by trying to downplay others' successes because of your lack thereof
Well done gentlemen quick and clean and really impressed to see the marksmanship AND bullet of a hot ass round like a .338 mid air at all as much velocity it has. As IV8888 says, butt naked speed
Killing is part of hunting... Hunting isnt relegated to waiting for a deer to be 3ft away so you can just assasinate it with a headshot from your flintlock. Practice more and increase your physical capabilities.

I’m sure you’ll have heard it before…..shooting distance like this for targets is one thing. For game, it’s reckless and irresponsible. Too many things can happen between the shot and impact - that’s not opinion, that’s fact. The mark of a great hunter is not over the horizon marksmanship. It’s the ability to engage game within 2-300yds and consistently deliver a one shot kill every time. You’ve obviously spent enough time at the range, and I commend you on that. It’s time to spend more time actually hunting. Don’t be lazy. Do the work. The game you hunt deserves it.
I agree 100%!
An understandable argument for sure...covers most hunters I would say...but not all. The 1% of hunters that understand fully what they are doing with their weapon are not covered in this argument.

@@jessicablomquist1285killer job 👍 some people cant put that beast down with 2 shots under 300yds 😂 haters gonna hate
@@jessicablomquist1285love how you only reply to the ONE comment praising you for the distance. Disgusting human you should be the next, maybe 1000 yards 😂
All these people complaining lol a tag is a tag. Here in the coast range of oregon bow hunters are the most unethical hunters. We find dead elk not recovered several times a year. Its pathetic!
Those optics though, wow
Damn,that big guy took two lapua's and was still walking around,what a stud! Don't know what moa is on that round but you can clearly see a hell of a lot of drop downrange.👏👍
All these people talking negative. Every man knows it’s rifle and optics. And its capabilities. Congrats man. I shot mines 725 yards with a 300rum
Your probably like a buddy of mine. He sees a deer at 300 yards and the sneaks to 800 yards just the be a dick
😂😂😂
nice post, unfortunately not every man knows his limitations or skill level. This hunter clearly did.
All the fudds and keyboard warriors in here saying that this is unethical and isn't good sport. Firstly, what defines a "sporting hunt"? Is there a certain range limit? What weapons are you allowed to use? What species are on the table? In what exact ways does a hunter need to act for it to be considered proper? Is any hunting fair unless it is meticulously stalked until you are close enough to hit it with a rock, which gives it the best chance to escape? All of these comments are utterly ridiculous and are from people that most likely spend all of their time "hunting" from a tree stand shooting game from 40 yards away in a field. Hunting SHOULD be ethical, but hunting is more important for conservation and natural maintenance than your perspective of ethics. If people only hunted as you described, we would not have any hunters because almost nobody has the time, finances, skill, drive, and resources to hunt in that way. Additionally, telling people how they can or cannot hunt is extremely arrogant and entitled, especially when you are most likely not capable of replicating those same feats. I don't want to hear about how you "REAL bow hunters" took a deer at -16 yards with a primitive bow and an arrow made of sharpened wood while being covered in mud and feces makes you a real man. Nobody cares. Hunting is not about being a man, but about doing what is good for nature and encouraging self sufficiency. Now please, shut the fuck up.
As far as I can tell, a bunch of these nitwits think you should give the moose a knife and take it down in hand-to-hand combat. This was a very impressive takedown. The second shot just sped things up a bit but he was down on the first for sure.
He was done with the first shot. Congrats!
Curious what bullet you used? I shoot a .340 Weatherby Mag which is a little more efficient and a lot cheaper to shoot with factory ammo but I want to load some 26gr. Long Range Accubonds. Not a shot I would take unless I had to fill my freezer but glad to know I could. Do you use an UTV to get to the animal? Any bears where you are, they hear the shot, smell the blood and get there before you do in some areas’s if your hiking to the kill.
338 lapua
@@kingjer125 Thats the caliber. What make and weight was the bullet?
285 grain eldm at 2980fps
Interesting. I'm not a hunter, so I never knew that bear may be so privy to hunters that they know what the shot means. Very cool
.338 Lapua is a savage round. hell of a marksman behind that rifle.
Impressive shots. What optics were you using? I've never hunted anything bigger than deer at about 300-400 yards with my .308. How'd you get the big guy out of there? Was it harvested on site?
Thank you for posting, I have a 338 Lapua and haven't taken a shot hunting yet. Awesome to see the effect on a Moose. The trails of the bullet are awesome!
Nice shot!
My best friend told me he got a Lupua about 6 months ago. Last month he told me he no longer wants to hunt, it's for competition. Also says the rounds are about $14 each. Ouch.
It's a deep rabbit hole to really get the most out of that round. It's expensive and time consuming...not for everybody.
Only a few guys out there that are dumb enough to keep going and keep trying. Way cheaper and easier to go to the grocery store
@@MattBlomquist-wl9kk
One way to say it, I prefer "you have your toys and your sandbox, I have mine." I think the food I put in my plate that I harvested, tastes a bit better. If it's all about how much you spent on it, yep - best not to get involved. The path I walk thru life does not have to be anyone else's. Enjoy yours. 😁
(Yep, this round ain't cheap. This rig ain't the common one used for daily groceries. I prefer bow and arrow for most of my groceries. Every so often, it's good to carry the loud stick and reach out far like this guy did. Just saying)
@@mattjewett4473it's definitely not a competition round lol. No one uses a .338 for that. To much recoil and to expensive
Should have zoomed out to show exactly how far that was, 960, you are a fucking shot there buddy. Wow
I don’t see anything inhumane about it. I load 300 bergers for my lapua, chronograph at around 2750 FPS. Still over 2000 lbs of energy at that distance. 6.5 creedmoor with 140’s doesn’t have that at 100 yards. 7mm rem mag 162’s is around that at 400.
Well done.. if it was a gut shot I wouldn’t be saying that but if you know your set up your probably better at 1000 yards than a lot would be at 200
Nice to see some support from someone who knows what is going on.
Appreciate your support and interest.
the fact that that moose took 2 338 lapua rounds and was still standing is incredible
All fun and games till you realize you got to pack that 960 yards
he's hunting with a 338 and taking 900-yard shots, probably has a side-by-side or 4-wheeler to haul it.
Shameful. Should be banned from hunting for life for unsportsmanlike conduct.
That moose was huge. It would feed a village.
Capable shooter and capable round. At that distance the bullet hits like a 308 point blank. Great shot. Hope you had an enjoyable hunt.
No need to take long shots on rutting bulls. They probably could have grunted their way into a 30 yard shot and not wasted that front shoulder meat if they knew what they were doing.
Ok little buddy...I have a question
So where do you shoot him at 30yds if not the shoulder?
The guts? And ruin more meat?
The destruction you would get shooting at 30yds is way worse than the destruction at 960yds little buddy! Thats becaiuse of something called ballistics! The closer you are...the more power the bullet has!!! Isn't that neat little buddy? You blow really big holes when you're up close and small holes when your further away!
You should read up on it before commenting about something you have never thought about before.
We didn't actually lose anything from the shot. The bullet expanded and stopped inside his body. Just a little entry hole and nothing more.
@@MattBlomquist-wl9kk I also find your condescending tone hilarious. You’re telling me that Bull limped in his front leg and needed a second shot and that you didn’t wipe out and of that front shoulder meat? I’ve snuck them between the brisket and the front shoulder before without ruining any meat, but that’s not what it looks like happened here. But whatever dude, tell a 3rd generation Alaskan whose family shoots three to four trophy class moose every year how to hunt moose. Haha.
@@New2Me170B
Second shot was ribs...double lung
First shot was the shoulder knuckle and lung liver.
Sorry...I cracked myself up too.🤣
@@MattBlomquist-wl9kk well, if you snuck it in there from that distance it’s an even more incredible shot than it was to begin with. But I still stand by my opinion that it’s totally unnecessary when hunting moose. I know people like to do it and I know that a lot of those people don’t talk about the ones they don’t recover.
Outstanding marksmanship. Very impressive. Congrats on the huge bull.
For those wondering what all the controversy is about, at that distance, the animal can move in the time it takes for the bullet to reach it. What would have been perfect shot placement can turn into horrible shot placement , subjecting the animal to a long and agonizing death. That’s why some would call a 960 yd shot irresponsible.
For me part of hunting was the challenge get around the quary's senses and get close enough to make a 1 shot kill.
Everyone isn't the same.
And that’s why you only hunt with a spear and a self bow. It’s probably more difficult to take consecutive 900+yd shots than to get within 100yds. Moose aren’t known for their timid nature lol.
SO CALLED "Hunters" on here who repremand other SKILLED hunters makes me sick. Hunters vs Hunters pisses me off. Just like your supposedly sick over seeing someone place not only ONE precise shot at long distance BUT, two! And this whole analogy of, "SNEAKING UP SO CLOSE YOU CAN SMELL THE ANIMAL and MAKING AN ETHICAL KILL" also peeves me to no end. ITS OLD LOGIC, OLD MEN!!! Get with the times. Better equipment like scopes, gunpowder, bullets, rangefinders, ballistic apps and tons of practice is what makes this ETHICAL! They didn't have all this tech back in the 1930's, the 50's, the 70's, the 90's and before which is were this old logic comes from. Or from guys who bow hunt and love to tell you, "the closer you get, the better". Bow Hunters get so egotistical when they tell stories of "i was so close to the deer, i could have pulled ticks off his hide"! Good for you, that's just one way to kill and I guarantee ya, your deer ran at least 50 yrds before it crashed! KEEP YA'LLs HUNTING BELIEFS TO YOURSELVES! Its illogical to talk about "bad ethics" when someone CLEANLY took an animal.
Great shots on the moose! LOVED IT!
Appreciate the support and well said.
"SO CALLED HUNTERS"...bullshit!. I've been hunting big game before most folks on this page were sperm. That was a nice shot for sure. The problem is a lot folks who take those shots don't pull it off and the animal ends up wounded, gut shot or worse. If you think todays firearms, scopes, range finders, etc are going to bail you out you're wrong. Talk to some of Africa's PH or pro guides in Alaska and elsewhere. Most folks they take out on a hunt couldn't hit a barn door at 500 yards. But they show up with the latest caliber and start launching shots.
I'm a pretty damn good shot and load my own so I know where they print. I wouldn't have taken that shot. Everyone can do what they want but sooner or later you're going to wound animals if you keep it up. Learn to hunt first. For Christ sake it's a moose not a Antelope or Bighorn. If you take your time you can walk to within 100 yards before they get suspicious. Move in as close as you can before taking a shot next time.
There's all kinds of folks calling themselves "Hunters". Means nothing. This excessive long range BS is no better than Uncle Bob emptying a lever action 30-30 at 50 yards on a deer drive and gut shooting his deer. Hunters need to police their own,,, and this isn't hunting. How many Videos have you seen posted where these shots are misses or worse yet the animal is clearly wounded and never found? I'll answer that for you,,, NONE. They harvested this animal and it was a quick kill but I'll argue all day that this is the exception. Then you get Uncle Bob watching these videos and attempting the same thing with zero chance of success.
Most hunters won't put in the time and practice it takes to make shots like that.
It's not fair to the animal or the hunter. It's not about equipment either most hunters won't train to shoot like that. How many bad shots were taken that none saw and an animal was left injured. Being ethical is the most important thing hunters have to be.
A decade of natures effort to nurture such a beautiful specimen vanished in a seconds of human negligence.
As long as the animal's meat and other parts are used to feed and good use by people, hunting is ethical. It is no different than predators hunting their prey in nature. The other important fact is that hunting is maybe 1% the shooting and 99% going there, finding the legal game, waiting patiently for the right ethical shot, skinning and butchering the game, etc. The last part and the amount of effort and time it takes definitely makes the hunter to really respect the game and nature as it is no easy job by any means!
What a shot!! I don't think I'd have taken it. 950 yards is way past my shooting range.
know your limitations.
I definitely have zero need for a 338, but man I sure hope that changes at some point lol
One time I shot a moose at 961 yards
No denying the ability of a 338 to reach out and touch a huge moose at almost 1000yds. But sadly, this is not hunting, at least not anything I would call a hunt.
Maybe someday you will understand the universal definition of the word hunting and not just your own!
Hunting is about filling the freezer and enjoying the outdoors.
@@MattBlomquist-wl9kkIt's also about taking an ethical shot. This moose died quick enough, but what about the next one that moves within the couple seconds it takes for the round to hit at that distance? Hunting is about being intelligent. A multiple second delay between firing and the round hitting is not intelligent. Bows don't even have a multi-second delay. This is lazy and stupid, imo.
@@DroopyWorm
Point taken...
TOF was 1.065 seconds
Hardly a multi second delay.
Watch his body language...he was listening intently...wasn't moving.
I watched this bull and called to him for over an hour...he was coming in but wouldn't be in till after dark...he was well within my range so I took him.
You guys only got to see the last 1:48 of that hunt. There are many chapters in that story...maybe shouldn't judge the chapters leading up to the last one if you haven't read them. Just saying. imo
@@MattBlomquist-wl9kkExcellent hunting in my book and two excellent shots. I can only aspire.
@DroopyWorm lol he hunted a moose and got it... that's all that matters. How about this I consider you unethical for using a bow a real hunter goes out with a sharpened pointy stick. Oh actually let me take that back a "real hunter " uses a rock to smack the moose everything else is lazy and dishonorable... as long as he used every usable part of the moose and not just the antlers I'm good with it.
These comments are examples of why the Anti gun crowd is winning. We attack each other with hate over opinions like ethical shots. When to take a shot is up to the individual so stfu and use your rules to guide your hunting not criticizing others.
Mussle pressure is unknown for lapua but that’s an easy shot to see! The arc is aggressive! I’m looking at distance again overall nice takedown! That was a tank!! Good work!
I don’t agree with taking such long range shots for game animals. Save that for the range. You don’t have to get yourself within touching distance, but there’s no way I can find this distance to be ethical at all. No fair chase, the Moose has no chance or advantage here. The whole point of hunting is to include the “predator vs prey” aspect, and that’s just left out here.
Thats a truly asinine statement. Best of luck to you and your muzzleloader
@@jonathanmiller3613 what’s asinine about it? Back yourself up here. I may very well buy a muzzleloader simply to limit my range so I don’t ever slip up and make a bad shot. Thanks for the idea.
@@jonathanmiller3613 all you prove with a shot like this is that you can shoot quite a distance. There is no reason to test your shooting skills on live game. Paper targets are for testing your shooting skills. Hunting is for testing every other skill like being quiet and sitting patiently, tracking, wind management, luring and calling…. There’s simply none of that applied when you pull up on a hill in your 4x4, lie down and put your 6-foot long tactical rifle on a sandbag and plug a clueless game animal from 1,000 yards and then drive right to him and throw him in the back.
@@Viper31300 frankly thats your opinion. I differ on what you consider "hunting" good luck out there to you and your season.
All I'm hearing I think is some maybe some jealousy mixed with a lack of empathy and understanding.
Whether you shoot an animal at 300 or 1000...you are by definition hunting.
Had that animal popped out at 50 I would have shot him...i think most guys would. In either case the freezer got filled.
The question is can a person do it with precision and not just wound an animal. I get plenty of bow hunts throughout the year and I think frankly that anybody who uses a firearm has an unfair advantage on their quarry. When your hunting with any weapon, my philosophy is simple...
Practice as far as you can to find your outer personal limits.
Mine happens to be 1500yds with a rifle and 140 with a bow.
Peel back some yardage, and that's the distance you will be confident in while hunting.
My max bow range might be 80-90 based on the situation and animal.
Your way of hunting is understandable, but by no means do you get to decide if mine is out of line. I guarantee you...if you had the hardware and the ability and confidence... you would have squeezed one off too if you were given the same opportunity. The problem is...not many people have the ability or the stubborn nature needed to be proficient at that distance. It takes alot of work and sacrifice to be a good shot out that far...years of work as a shooter.
For your average weekend warrior...it's probably not going to happen in their lifetime.
I wad thinking no fallowup shot? then I saw it good shots good job
can't get closer? now you gotta walk to get him , I wouldn't be proud of that, can tell by you guys laughing,
Somebody has been practicing the long shot! Great job. That’s a big boy!
shooting game at 960 yards is what's wrong with hunting today.
I agree with you that its not really a good hunting ethic but not gonna lie thats a heck of a bull and a amazing shot
@@jumpinggazellerathe8733 Correction, two shots.
@@bobclifton8021 haha good point
You must not know much about what high powered rifles are capable of when properly sighted in. In the military snipers kill people at 1 mile away with properly placed shots.
Military sniping is not the same as big game hunting. Sniping requires long range capability. Hunting does not. It merely enables the lazy to avoid the effort of stalking.@@edwardwilliams5970
Those were AMAZING shots man
I’m glad I’m not on that end of it. Wow what a shot placement
Despite my love of hunting I do have a certain degree of empathy for animals. 0:50 He looked like he said "Guess this is it" right then.
Nice, but hunting isn't the shot, it's about being able to out think, call and stalk the prey for the ultimate one on one.
Oh ok...
Who died and gave you the right to dictate that?
In my opinion hunting is about filling the freezer...
The difference between me and you is my kill radius is wider than yours...therefore I'm going to be more prepared when an opportunity presents itself...at longer distances than you.
Doesn't make your style any more virtuous.
I agree. Now that's hunting. This person is a shooter not a hunter! The prey had no idea/chance.
They never have an idea/chance...if you want to be successful as a hunter! If you let them know you are there...whether at 20yds or 1000yds...they will run away.
So I guess I don't know what you are even talking about!
Even at 200yds you need to be quiet...downwind..etc and not let him know you are there.
In other words...if your a good hunter...you never give them a FAIR chance. It would mean showing yourself and running the animal off. It would mean shooting at a running animal and therefore make it impossible or unethical to shoot.It would mean going home empty handed more than likely...and make you a terrible unsuccessful hunter!
I swear you people don't think before you weigh in and make fools of yourselves.
Hunting with modern equipment is never fair to the quarry. It's that way for a reason.
Go hunt with a spear then!
Isn't it funny that it's always the guys complaining about long range hunting who haven't invested the incredible amount of time to learn long range ballistics, wind calling, mirage reading, bullet drops, interior, exterior and terminal ballistics, precision reloading, painstakingly accurate load development not to mention the incredible amount of money spent on good gear, custom builds, top quality optics such as spotters binos and scopes, lapua brass, good dies, presses, many range days conducting trial and error testing with powder and bullet combos, ballistics solvers, laser range finders, bag, bipod, dope log books, etc.
I think the real problem with these guys who are complaining isn't about the actual long range hunting, it's about their own jealousy of not having the time, resources or money, or a combination of all 3 to do it themselves so they take a notch out of someone's else's passion, hobby, efforts and successes to try to compensate for their lack of ability(s) to do it themselves.
All hunters and gun owners should be in this together, not casting stones at eachothers methods.
By the OP's logic then only a true hunters should be wearingtaw hide mukluks, fur hides and using a flint knapped sinu bound spear head on a stick to hunt.
Stop making a fool out of yourself by trying to downplay others' successes because of your lack thereof
Well done gentlemen quick and clean and really impressed to see the marksmanship AND bullet of a hot ass round like a .338 mid air at all as much velocity it has. As IV8888 says, butt naked speed
Moose are pretty amazingly robust animals.
Great shooting and great caliber! Congratulations on the trophy bull
Re watching that was atleast 30 inch arc! What were you shooting bullet wise?
Much closer to 30 feet than 30
Inches
congrats!! now the work starts
Love my Lapua!
Hunting? Sorry i can see only a very good shot, hunting is a diffrent story, looks more like killing .
Killing is part of hunting...
Hunting isnt relegated to waiting for a deer to be 3ft away so you can just assasinate it with a headshot from your flintlock. Practice more and increase your physical capabilities.
Hell of a nice bull..congrats! 😁😘
🗣Congrats on an awesome hunt and markman’s ship. 🤠SEMPER FI 🇺🇸( honestly, the quality of the video 🎥 looks like it 96 yards not 960 yards). But, you don’t see bullet VAPOR TRAILS and the arch of the round at 96 yards either. 😎

SO, a “LEDGENDARY SNIPER ROUND” takes out a Moose! ! ! WOW, must have been one sinister moose? ? ?
I wonder what energy it had at that range?
You can probably google it. But, I think it’s still well over 1000 ft lbs. Maybe 12-1400. Depends on the bullet weight and velocity.

Very nice ! Thank you so much for sharing!
2 bullets and this guy is still running... and that's worrying if those moose ever got close
Now why would you take a facing shot instead of waiting for him to turn broadside? Oh, of course, like most guys you are a slob hunter who cares more about himself than the animal.
At that distance it only has about the same amount of energy as a 243 at 200 yards.
No it doesn’t, .338 Lapua has 2100 ft-lbs of energy at 1000 yards, 243 at the muzzle has 2000

@@tmcorey1
I can too..in fact that's what I normally do...99% of the time.
Difference is I have the ability to do both and fill my freezer no matter the circumstances...like a REAL man
@@MattBlomquist-wl9kk only a lazy-ass shoots an animal from that far away, risking injuring an animal unnecessarily, then laughs about it. That’s not hunting. Wrap it around whatever bullshit you want to.
And don't you dare laugh when it finally comes together. Just stay completely stoic during your adrenaline dump. Only real hunters don't get adrenaline after a clean kill. Real hunters get crocodile tears and virtue signal to complete strangers on UA-cam.
Give me a break. Bunch of sissy so called men who are more fragile than most woman.
So many "hunters" say that its not about killing or for sport, its about feeding your family. Here is somone who didn't need the "thrill" of getting in close to do just that. He took 2 shots and the animal went down enough said.
I wanted to see the zoom out lol
That’s a long fucking hike to pack out a moose
