Great job Guiding this year Jay where were you keeping Cole when we forded the river. When you said 325 I thought thats not a kids gun then after the pictures you could see how he could handle that. Happy for you. Moose burgers at the gift shop.

Yep !  Funny thing is I thought that Browning X-bolt .325WSM being a smaller action rifle would be a good step up from his 7mm-08 but now he says its too small.  He's ready to move up to a bigger frame gun.  Worked pretty good on that moose though !

Had some of my boys bbq moose backstrap tonight after marinating in half italian dressing and half BBQ sauce.  Though not aged much and without a bacon wrap it was tasty.  Have to try it a few times yet to decide if its better than Iowa whitetail.

Congrats! Make sure you try moose tacos with some of the burger. You won't want to eat beef again!

Moose fajitas too!  Yum!  What kind of rifle does he want now?  Getting larger than a 325 is African or brown bear type rifles! 375's???

We got the moose meat back from the Spokane Butcher this weekend.   When we dropped it off we told him that it was hot out when we got the moose so probably hanging it a few days would be enough.  He was sure we needed to hang it 12 days and he wouldn't hang it a day less.   He was right !  The meat that was aged 12 days is quite a bit more tender than the backstraps we didn't age more than a day or two.      Great stuff.

That sounds like an excellent hunt.  Great vidieo and pics.  Sounds like it was nerve racking waiting for the cow to get just right.  Thanks for sharing the story.
