Girl, 12, is youngest Minnesotan to kill moose

October 23, 2009

Nicollet, Minn (AP) — A Minnesota wildlife official confirms that a 12-year-old girl is the youngest Minnesotan to kill a moose in the modern era.

Department of Natural Resources spokesman Lou Cornicelli says Kelly Holmin of Nicollet achieved the distinction earlier this month.

The bull moose had a 58-inch antler spread. Kelly bagged it Oct. 13 on the Gunflint Trail.

She and her father endured a cold week of wind and snow before they saw the 1,100-pound moose about 75 yards away. Kelly dropped it with a single shot.

One tough girl. The smell of a moose (or elk) can be overpowering.

Damn.

If that happens, I can picture MSM headline “Moose killer from Nicollet.”

Dang journalists. Important info has been omitted, such as what kind of rifle she used, what caliber, what kind of bullets, etc. Maybe she even loaded her own ammo, but you would never know that from this account.
