These pictures are not for the faint of heart. Ron shot an appromately 1000# moose. It was a long shot, a brown dot on a hill, he shot it in the shoulder, then second shot was a head shot. When on it's side it was at least 4 feet tall. He and mostly his friends field dressed it and it took four sleds to carry it back. They gave us way too much meat, a front leg, the back hind quarter and a back strap. It took Ron and another man to carry each piece in.
The hind quarter we guess was about 200#. What an amazing experience. The hunter gatherer came through. 30 salmon and now a moose. For Ron, a dream come true. I even helped cutting it up and wrapping it for the freezer. Thank goodness for the food sealer. That is the best gadget ever invented.
Here you go, the bounty.
This picture is my favorite. An attempt to put a leg into the freezer. It didn't fit. Imagine that.
So cool! So Alaska. And you didn't even use a helicopter (get the reference?)
