I’m assuming you got everything out on Thursday?

I heard yes & believe Hummer was planning to post about it soon. : )

We did get the moose out in one trip with 3 sleds and 7 people. It was a miracle. Definitely an adventure to remember. The women led with the first meat sled and kicked our butts all the way down the mountain.

Since getting home we've had to concentrate on cutting and packaging the deboned meat which we just finished. Tomorrow the legs. Bull moose are considerably larger than bull elk and have a lot more neck and shoulder meat. Will post pics and more of the story when the power and computer come on.

Congrats Hummer, and glad you got it out despite the obstacles.

Sorry I missed the play by play.

Bullwinkle is home from the taxidermist! He's a beauty and the new elephant in the room. I had him mounted in a "sneak right" pose so it would fit in the space on the wall. The antlers were scored by an official Boone & Crockett scorer. The Shiras bull would have make the B&C trophy book if it hadn't been for two broken tines.

As a followup, here's a couple pics of the super folks who helped me pack the moose out on sleds a year ago. And, thanks again to Irving for helping me prep Bullwinkle for packout.

On Sunday, I hiked to the site off Pawnee Pass above Isabelle where the animal was taken. The spine was intact, almost 6' long, and the rib bones were well chewed on and the location of the gut pile was barren of vegetation where it had been scraped clean by scavengers. I routinely revisit kill sites to see what nature has left.
