Moose Rules question
« on: April 18, 2010, 11:15:32 AM »
A few years back just cruising around the Web I read some of the Hunting Laws for Alaska. I remember seeing something about packing out meat on the bone vs off. If I remember right in one part of the season you had to pack it out on the bone the other De-boned was OK.  Anybody know why?

Depends upon what area, some are subsistence areas and they want to make sure that everything is brought back, others are simply made that way to prevent folks from having it easy :o....  And other areas your allowed to bone it. Alot of areas off the hwy system is this way..

Gotta read the rules, its area SPECIFIC.  Gotta bring the NECK and also the Ribcage in some areas.  I would bet it came initially because of wastage of meat.

BETTER not SHOOT IT, if you can't pack it out.

Regardless of whether the AK hunting unit requires bones be kept in the quarters, meat on the bone is way easier to handle and hang.  Backstraps, neck, flank, rib, brisket, etc. are boned off the remaining carcass as per normal and bagged.  Some units require that the rib cage halves be brought out intact as well.

Bone-in or boneless, you need to strip the rest of the carcass down to the point that a roving wolf or bear will be disappointed on its discovery...them's the rules. 

A bone in hindquarter of a big moose will weigh 120-150 pounds.

180 each according to my scale.  That includes the meatbag, pack and rope.

You nailed it on easy of handling.  Out of all my trips, its the loose meat bag that I hate the most.  I won't de-bone an elk either.
