Considerations for Moose.

[M118LR]

Moose hunting may be an individual thing, yet packing out the meat takes a small village. Well before sunrise we would launch the canoe at the board Eddie bridge and paddle upstream to the intended hunt area. Now 200 lbs of dressed deer is a good time, yet 200 lbs of moose isn't even a quartering usually. So having a canoe to fairy the quarters downstream to pickup truck loading is a fairly good piece of pre-planning. I'd strongly advise cutlery beyond the normal Buck Pathfinder and Skinner. Bone saws are good items. Yet I have used a Government Issue rope saw, but it was not optimal. Now shooting a Moose in the Quakies or a Cedar Swamp, may seem like easy hunting, attempting to drag it out from such spots may not make you the most popular of folks at camp that night. LOL. Open top lever actions like the Model 71 in .348 Win may encounter unexpected problems when sleet storms solidify into ice as temperature drop over the course of a days hunt. Hope I've passed a little how we did it back in the day. Any youngsters got modern improvements they could add for folks on their first Big Game Moose Hunt?
