Video: Monster Moose Shot at Point-Blank Range

This video comes from a French Canadian hunter in Quebec named Real Langlois, better known as the Rackman. The video was posted on YouTube on April 5, 2011 and was titled “World Record Moose.” That claim is confirmed by the Pope and Young Club: The bull scores 249 1/8 inches. You have to give credit to the Rackman for having nerves of steel on this shot.

How close would you let a huge rutting bull moose get?
