Alaska moose hunt
« on: September 18, 2014, 09:41:25 PM »
My first Alaskan hunt. Bush flight 50 miles in. Very happy with this big boy, he measured 53 wide with four brow tine. My buddy got a 50 incher. We saw tons of critters.  Excellent hunt.  Can't wait to go back.

Congratulations on a bucket-list dream hunt and a great bull.  Someday I'd love to do that, bad thing I'm not getting any younger ............... or in any better shape.

That's what I was going to ask.  Getting the meat/antlers home has always been a major concern of mine.  I've wanted to do blacktail/black bear hunts up there and have been nervous about it.

I'm not sure.  You can pull 600-800 pounds of meat off of a mature bull
