There is an older lady here in town that drew a disabled cow tag for 49 Degrees North. She has helped our local sportsman's group alot over the years and some of our members are going to help her try to get her moose. She doesn't get around very well as she is over eighty years old.  Been watching this thread and have looked at other older threads. If anyone could help please PM me and I,ll get the info to them.

Thanks!

Here are the DVD's I used to learn to call the one is old but very good info.
"Love, Thunder & BULL"
"Love, Thunder & BULL 2 I think this one is the best of the two.
"MOOSE MANA" BULLS GONE WILD 1 This is from Archerschoice. She shoots a moose at about 10yds compleat pass through the heart and the bull keeps walking w/blood hosing out. Way cool.
The BOOK I bought from Amazon is "A Boone and Crockett Club Field Guide to Measuring and Judging Big Game". This book gives good tips on field judging game animals.

Thanks PA Ben...so here's my next question....I'm 5 miles behind a gate with a dead bull, whats the best way to break one down? I've done it many times before with dead bull elk, but I know a Moose is just a tad bigger....

Usually I bone them out and just pack meat...I can do a elk pretty fast by myself...same with a moose?

Thoughts ?  Suggestions?

Same as elk, just a lot more. Better have a buddy or two with you.

Make friends now.... as my uncle has always said when hunting Alaska.  "Moose hunting is a lot of fun right up to the point you pull the trigger/loose the arrow."

6 to 8 meat sacks. I got 482 lbs of boned out meat, not counting the cape and head.

[Dr. Death]

Got the meat sacks, 8 reusable ones and 8 of the light ones...

Finally started shooting my new bow (Rytera XT), my shoulder is doing great. As many of you read in the bowhunting forum I had shoulder surgery in April. Shooting it at 60 lbs now and will be at hunting weight (70) by Aug 1, so things are coming together...I'm stoked!

Hope we see you over there one thing we found is that it takes a while to break one down and the bags work great. Last year in Idaho while we were working on our animal the yellow jackets would;nt leave us alone and some small gnats I don;t know what a person could do but they were sure a problem. We had a big insulated tote with ice we put our sacks of meat on that worked I don;t know how the weather is there but getting that much meat cooled down is important. We will camp someplace so maybe we can compare notes over there we are excited too.

Buckhorn2, Im sure we'll run into you guys at some point.... I'll post when we are headed that way for our 1st scouting trip for all who are interested....

[PAW66]

What kind of camping facilities are in the area ( dry camping/sites with hookups)? Where are they located?  Is there a place a person can store a trailer between scouting trips and hunting? Am thinking I would combine a scouting trip with a bear hunt in early September, leave the trailer, and return the first of  October for the moose hunt. Any and all info would be appreciated. Things to do to get ready and time is going by fast.

There is a camp ground at the park in town and lots of primative camping spots up in the hills closer to the hunting.  the weather is a crap shoot that time of year but usually still warm.
