>>618707OP here, went out with my cousin and got a bull moose last night. Spotted, stalked, shot, dropped right there. Cousin was pretty pumped about it as it was his first time coming out where we got a big game animal. Not a big bull, but nice young meat for the freezer and manageable size for me and the young man to deal with.
Did the gutless method and I'm now a believer. We had to haul the meat about a km to the truck and this made a HUGE difference. I'll never open a moose or elk again unless I can drive right up to it. (though I'll probably still gut deer normally) There was very little waste. Probably got about 95% or more of the meat as we would have opening it up.
