I just posted a longer version of the hunt here http://bpcr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7311

But the rifle is a .45-70. I used a paper patched bullet of my own design and black powder.

The hunt was in the Yukon River Delta about 150 miles north of Bethel Alaska. We were flown in on a 1957 de Havilland Beaver, so even the transport was "classic". I always wanted to ride in one of those and now I finally have. I just got back on Wednesday.

This was a drop hunt so me and a hunting partner were left on a small oxbow lake on the delta to hunt for 11 days. It was an amazingly good time. We both got our moose and we both managed to survive getting them out of the bush, a very nontrivial experience.
