A moose is a tough one Sam. As michelle said they are thick, let me say VERY THICK. You have spots where over 3/4 to an inch of skin must be removed. This is a "fun" project, but has to be done in a timely manner. I would definately try it, as the alternative is zip. There are some great tanning methods out there when you get the time, and they aren't that much. I'm sure Michelle can get you on the right track, or I can.
