49 Degrees North Early Bull Moose

Looks like about half the tag holders are on here. I have the tag as well. Plan on being over there as much as work will allow. Always willing to help. Will hopefully have some extra hands with me that could also be of assistance.

I’ve packed plenty of elk. I know they are a bit heavier than elk.  Yeah if your close to road and I had one other person I wouldn’t be calling for help, but I don’t want to limit myself to only places I can drive or being close to the road.  I’ve used cable before and always did want a chainsaw winch like look might be used in one of the posts, but even with those if your miles in won’t be help much.  There’s spots i know I’ll be in few miles from nearest drive to road access. I’m in shape and wouldn’t be asking for any help on something easy, but more people can make a hard job a bit easier.

FWIW..... I would not want to be packing moose parts for miles. They are considerably bigger than an elk. IMHO, you will regret shooting one "miles away from a road" 

I killed one in 13, was 100 yards from the truck where it died, still took me 5 hours to get it all in the truck.

22 ish hours from the first trigger squeeze to everything in the bed of the pickup. I want to say we were right at a mile and a quarter.

My goal is to try and kill a bull as close to the road as possible but I am for sure not putting a limit on how far I will go looking for a bull if I have to. I train year around and also have some buddies that will be with me here and there to help. Even solo, if it takes me two days and 10 trips, I will get it done. Its just one step at a time.

It’s truly not as bad as everyone makes it out to be mine was just over a mile from the road on a steep brushy slope I had my 2 sons with me and it was raining only took 3 hours including caping pictures and the excitement of it all 4 quarter packs to boned meat packs at the head and cape so 7 packs total shoot them where you find them then worry about it I would of honestly had no problem shooting one on the road but actually preferred the experience of finding a bull farther off and having to grind a bit

How’s everyone’s scouting going for the early hunt?   Seems like lots of forum members pulled this tag this year.
