Bog Pod Death Grip for prime rut Moose Hunting in Newfoundland |

The Bog Pod™ Death Grip™ is like having a “bench rest” in the field. This is the carbon fiber model. Yes it is a bit heavy at 7.5 lbs and perhaps little clunky to carry but once it is set up you are in good shape. It retails for around $280. Not cheap but on a trophy hunt it fits the bill.

But more than that, the Death Grip vise holds my rifle allows me and my hands to be free. In my case, i expect to use it to hold my 375 Ruger while calling a rut crazed Newfoundland Bull Moose into shooting range from say a half mile away.

The spongy tundra is tough enough to walk in and small European spruce call Tuckamore’s which are small, thick, and knarly. .Accordingly, seeing above and around the tuckamore’s with a tripod or bipod is likely a great help. The feet are rubber and a shaft is threaded through the rubber with a metal point if you need more than the rubber feet to hold the tripod steady.

The tilt and pan can be tightened so that you can hold on target. I shot three rounds at 150 yards at a 40 inch long brown piece of cardboard with no target bullseye. Similar to the side of a moose, and placed all 3 shots within 6 inches in the lower 1/3rd of the target.

I believe a setup with the Death Grip for Moose is ideal because it can take time for a moose to respond and head your way. Leaving you to call with hands coned over your mouth while the Death Grip holds your rifle at the ready.

Good Hunting!
