Tyler0420 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Posted October 2, 2020 Do you cut the moose in pieces to take it out of the bush?
verado Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Posted October 2, 2020 Sorry Surf n Turf, Gary sent me those pictures and I was so impressed I thought the rest of you might like to see them.
verado Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Posted October 2, 2020 It depends on where you down the animal Tyler. In 40 years of moose hunting I have only had to quarter an animal a few times to get it out of the bush and that was in the days before ATV's. At our camp we have a sled that looks like a big toboggan but about four feet wide. It sometimes takes a little chainsaw work but with a big ATV we can slide it out of the bush to the nearest trail and then load it on a trailer. We then get it back to camp whole for hanging and skinning
fishingking Posted October 4, 2020 Report Posted October 4, 2020 Man I'm so jealous...I was hunting in a group of 8 guys for about 13 years up past thunderbay...a few older fellas health declined and another guy moved away so my group depleted and the tag numbers dropped drastically and we never got an adult tag our last year we tried ( 4 yrs ago now) so I haven't made it back out unfortunately 🙄.. congrats guys on a successful hunt!

My last moose hunts were west of Thunder Bay , launching at Arrow Lake to our spot at Rose Lake . One year , about 2000 ,the six of us got 5 tags ...3 cow & 2 bull tags . I'm the only one left who is able to hunt (2 passed on) . I got a nice bull on my last hunt ...rack still in the garage . Still missing those days ......
mooseslayer Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 Congrats! We got one bull on our archery hunt. 37 inches . We saw a few more but didn't get them in. With the changing of the tag system I am not optimistic about our chances for tags next year.
mooseslayer Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 Also...we almost always get our moose out whole. This year's moose was our 50th archery moose. We butcher it ourselves at the camp, wrap and freeze it. We split it and everyone brings a cooler full of cut and wrapped meat.
