Nice work on the moose, that's awesome. How much of a chore was it to get that out of the woods? Having a freezer full of moose is hard to beat.

My dad and I killed one together in Minnesota about 20 years ago. Moose hunting is pretty fun until one hits the ground and the work starts.

It was a f***ing bummer of a job to get it out. Gasoline powered winch just to get it where the ATV could put it up on a sled. The ATV overheated and had to sit all night. Got it.out in the rain today, then hunted. Froze my but off. But all good now.



And now my photos are sideways.

That's a nice moose, congrats. That's great you were able to get him out of the woods whole rather than chop him up out in the woods. Do you now divide the meat up with your hunting party or how does that work?

I have never been allowed to cut up an animal and take it out in pieces in Europe. The guys who shoot reindeer up on the plateau call a helicopter to take them out. We drag the red deer out by hand, but it takes a group of people. Moose require machines. Roe deer you can throw over your shoulder and carry.

I once had to drag a 1.5 year old red deer hind out alone in the middle of the night. I was wiped out.

When we hunt as a team we divide the meat as equally as possible. Once it's all vacuum packed, it gets portioned out and each parcel numbered. The everyone draws a number from a hat and take your parcel number.

Who is we in this scenario? Are these friends or family or just random people from the same hunting club? Did you shoot that on private land? Is there public land hunting there?
Sorry that stuff is cool to me just trying to picture the dynamic

I am on doe patrol tonight. I came straight from work into the stand. I thought I would at least wear a collared shirt and Dockers for the deer.
