That is so freakin' awesome!  I am truly jealous.  Makes sense why you only shoot one a year though.  Just curious, what are you guys attaching the winch to when you get stuck?  Do you just winch up to the other machine?  What if they both get stuck?

Anyways, congrats for this year and past success in recent years!

My kid shoots that Model 99 that my brother gave him pretty well and it works just fine with a factory 180 grain silvertip load.
 It's about time to present him with a .300 Weatherby Mark V for his high school graduation present, the genuine death ray for moose and grizzly in my opinion.

I gotta be careful I don't just go overboard and load dozens of dead moose and grizzlies into this thread, I realize it's Hunt Washington and not the Alaska Outdoors Directory. My only saving grace is I was raised in the Ahtanum hunting them hybrid buck deer so I feel a kinship. Or whatever.
 His first moose killed with that Savage. And no he ain't "long arming" dang he was 10 and about 85 pounds.

His Second bull with the Savage.

And his first grizzly at age 10 with the little .308 Savage.

 Ok thats it. Back to lurking.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Your a talented picture taker!  Would love to be spoiled on Alaska hunting!  Does this area have restrictions on the moose you can shoot?  Do you have much competition?  What do you do with the grizzly...sausage?  Do you hang the racks outside?

I have never been a jealous person but this thread is tempting me for sure, love the fact that its not a, fly me in, put me up in a warm cabin, shuttle me around and take care of my kill hunt, looks like all DIY... :tup:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Really. You guys are into pictures of dead moose huh. I can do that.
As for the grizzly tag cost it's not unreasonable at $500 bucks. What deters most blue collar average sportsmen is the guide fees.
 At this time the cost of a guided hunt for grizzly on the Seward Peninsula would be around $13,000 bucks. Add in airfare. Taxidermy. All the new gear because your making that trip to Alaska you've always wanted to make and add another whatever pile of money. The incidental purchases in town you'd make for your family. Tip for the guide. Now your spending big money.
 Big coin. And we could debate all year long whether it's an outrageous amount to pay for said hunt but lets just say it's not like your going to the Powder River country on a guided mule deer hunt. Lots of overhead for the guys doing the guiding.
 And the grizzly bear is not the best table cuisine so the state does not require you to harvest any meat unless it's killed under a subsistance permit. Loins are ok at certain times of the year. Ravens gotta eat too.
 Anyway as for moose there are some restrictions on non-resident hunting and most around here prefer that. Competition? Not much. You may see a few rigs at the trailhead but to encounter guys in the field is very rare.
Lots of opportunity but also a ton of work and logistical footwork goes into it. But guys do come and kill em every year from Outside.
 So. Dead moose.
 A nice bull killed on September first. Picture was a scan so it sucks. Velvet was just peeled off. 61 inches I think.

This trip we killed two bulls and the velvet is still on. 66'' or 67'' I think.

Stripped clean and me laying in it. I'm 5'10''

My brother and his 2nd bull.

A pair of bulls my brother and I killed. Both 58''

A nice bull killed by a good friend. 65 inches I think.

A bull killed by another friend from Washington. 62 inches I think.

Back in the days when I was too stupid to insist we only kill one bull. From left to right 58'' 62'' and 54''.

 Alive....

And dead. 61''. 227 B&C.
