You want your Moose to be Medium atleast. By the time you cut it up and drag it back to camp it is well on its way to becoming foul.

Hopefully you are smarter than attempting to drag a moose. Best to quarter it up and take it a piece at a time. It isn't going to foul at all if you do it right. First step is getting it cut up and packaged.

Dont be afraid to cut the quarters down either, get them split up so they cool faster.

Not here, where it will probably be 0-20 degrees out when you get one.

True story. Winter here makes for easy harvest

Freezing your ass of doesn't make it less sucky. Moose meat acquisition is another thing. My Brother or anyone else, will never convince me this is a good idea. Elk is my exception. No Bear, Seal. or Moose for me. Turkey and Venison is OK. Fowl is to much work... I just butchered up a thawed out frozen pig. I would prefer to not have ever do that again.

You are worried about moose meat becoming foul but you are good to go with elk? Takes just as long to move elk out and same conditions, if not worse. Best elk hunting is done while it is still hot out.

You are missing out if someone offers you proper processed moose meat. I get not liking bear, or wild bird, I usually end up taking a few grouse while elk hunting....easy take with the bow. I dont get liking wild Turkey though, they are mostly grease and dark meat. I do understand not wanting to ever butcher a frozen hog again though

I don't get hunting Moose, it's like hunting a cow, with crappy meat.

No way. Moose hunting is way harder than people give credit. As far as meat quality..... it's all about where you take one and what its eating, just like any other animal. Whitetail off the corn fields are amazing, white tails off the Colorado wild.... eating scrub and sage????? Garbage...

For perspective..... you take an elk ten miles back you have at least a 100 mile day ahead of you for pack out. 4 quarters, two back straps, two tenderloins plus skull/antlers.

Add about 40 miles to that for a moose.
Should have your truck ready with coolers full of ice ready. Most hunts, you are no more than three miles back if you move quite and with purpose.

Wait till you run into a bull during hunting season..... get ready to run and take cover. Or a cow with a calf......
Ran Into what looked like a two year this morning

If you are literally running into them, then yes, but it's not like they come at you from 500 feet away or anything.

It is exactly that. We have been charged by bull moose from 500 yards before. Had one come across the Madison river, had one decide to come after me in my tree stand...... they can be mean ass muthers.

Moose are rutting during hunting seasons,l. Bull moose become very territorial. They go after anything they see as a threat

Well you have hybrid attack Meese evidently. Even during the rut, they don't seem to care about people here unless you enter a 50 foot radius or so.

I mean, hell, all you gotta do is wait INSIDE a hospital here in the winter and one is bound to come in through the door at some point.
