I got enough sinew to back a short bow.  I sent Timo a picture of myself and my friend removing the hind quarter maybe he will post it, it really shows how big moose are.

I've been waiting for a picture and you didn't disappoint!  Excellent.
Did the arrow pass through completely?

Wow thats awesome!!  But we need some details....depth of penetration, how far did he run after the hit, blood trail (heavy, medium, light)...etc!

Congrats on that moose....those things are awesome eating

I shot him at about 15 yards as he trotted off after I called him in to under 10 yards.  The arrow struck about 2/3 back and 1/3 up on his right   side (I was on one Knee and he was very slightly up hill), the arrow passed through both lungs and exited the far shoulder penetrating the top of the scapula (the wound you see in the photos).  I found about 13 inches of shaft with the broadhead still intact about seven yards from where he went down.  About ten inches of the shaft was still in the body cavity with feathers still attatched.  The remainder of the arrow was in splinters in his shoulder (I assume broken by the scapula and ribb bones as he ran).  He went only 80 yards on a dead run, looking back once as I grunted to try and stop him.  I heard him crash when he went down.  Good blood but not the best I have seen and moose leave spoor head high when they run through brush, kind of weird.  Total penetration was probably over 40 inches just a guess.
