It would be a dilemma. I hate to say it but I probably would. Or I am afraid I would. But you never know till you come to the moment. But it might depend on where you saw it. There is no point in shooting a moose in the middle of Fiordland because no one would believe a photo, you need to carry it out...

I know I wouldn't shoot the moose. Just too much NZ hunter history and culture and Id love to think they have survived!

But with all the talk of big cats, If a leopard or jaguar type big cat walked out in front of me, Id drop it in a heart beat. The difference to me is one belongs too our culture. One doesn't.
