I've been in the candy van. In isn't as scary as it looks.

Three people works well for cutting up and packing a moose. Mine usually wind up in 8 chunks when I leave the meat on the bone.

Front Q x 2
Rear Q x 2
Ribs x 1
Possibles Bag x 2
Head x 1

Each one of those chunks is a load for one person. The lightest load is usually the head at 50-75lbs. The rear quarters can weigh 160 but for an average sized bull they are usually more like 120-130. I don't shoot them more than a mile from where I have to get them to on flat ground. Add any ups and downs, swamps, schwacking, or other hardships and that distances starts shrinking quickly. I fell down with a large hind quarter on my back in a swamp and the thing almost killed me. My face was getting pushed into the muck and I couldn't roll over or breathe. I guess the moose was just looking for a little revenge. Moose are big critters.

I would like to eat more moose, and I would like to shoot one (or participate in the death of one)...I would do some packing to make that happen, but I wouldn't enjoy it.

Fish on...

I hate myself so I would thoroughly enjoy it. It can't be worse than packing big bulls out on snowshoes from many miles into the deep in subzero temps.

Ah youth.

If'n I want that moose, I need to get on it. Old man time is starting to creep up on me. I shouldn't be sore from just sleeping. Why am I sore from just laying there? This getting old business is a buncha bullchit.

[Bleeeeep!], I packed a 15 pound steelhead out yesterday and I'm sore today....I may have to rethink the "while I'm still in shape" line I threw out there.

...the things we do for fun.

I think I'm still in decent enough shape, but that doesn't mean I want to do schit like carrying out large animals any more.

I'd do it for moose. That schit is good.

Fish on...

Oh, I so wanted to make a cute comment about the hike out of Cook Creek with a nice Steelhead, running outta wind by the time I got back to the hatchery parking lot but realized, Ida been talking AgeSmak about myself !

Real men pack a chicken on their head.
Just Sayin.

You are the last person ever on this board that would need to apologize to me!

As always, your report(s) won the internet and put everything and everyone here on PP to shame.

Fine then, go screw yourself Paker

Remember back when posting pictures and telling fishing stories was fairly common around here. That was pretty cool. What happened?

Fine.

Here's your damn report!

Got Stam out on his birthday. We even found a fish or two.

Not a bad day for a couple of bums.

What??!?! What a pleasant surprise. A few people do still go fishing around here.

Good job sore-mouthing the works!

Happy late birthday Stam. I didn't get you anything, again.

Looks like more than the mouth will be sore on them feesh.

Birthday beard.

Stam lookin' like he's making a list and checking it twice.

No need for a list, ain't nobody nice....all assholes.

Did have fun catching fish though, next day was all about the big ones.

Now, birfday's over...beards gone, nice to get a year older, shave and look ten years younger, chicks still dig it.

Next year Co'G....you've got a whole year to save for something special. I can register at work/sports/outdoors in E'claw, if that'll hep ya' out.
