    Maybe it was there first moose hunt and realizing they were in over their heads they came to ask for help. Good on those guys for swallowing their pride and reaching out for help.

    . I've seen people, usually newbies, get too excited and panic, throwing lead indiscriminately
    toward an animal they think is getting away


    My statement wasn't meant to be sanctimonious at all...it's just an observation I've witnessed.
    Some people just have a problem controlling their emotions under the heat of the moment.

    Plus they felt entitled enough to come to a strangers house and ask for help?
    Sometimes age comes alone.
    Then learn, youtube is full of instructional vidios. Second, sight your damn gun in and be familiar with shooting it. I am well aware of buck fever and this was not the case.

    Just for general info, they aren't strangers. They are both really nice guys.

    bad shots happen all the time , but not cleaning your game properly is inexcusable

    My wife's past experience as the manager of a butcher shop for a dozen years: dirtiest meat came in from the outfitters.

    Doesn't matter if it's two old boys from the LML or professional hunters - some just don't know or don't care about what I agree is a definite gift from nature.

    My butcher laughs and tells me he makes a lot of easy money from me because the meat I bring in is spotless and trimmed before he ever sees it. Doesn't matter how full his shop is, he ALWAYS has a hook for me when I'm lucky enough to get something.

    I've seen him send people away with dirty or ripe animals because he doesn't want that bacteria-laden crap in his shop. That brings me back each year, knowing his standards and mine are the same.

    It all comes down to experience and training. I have hunted for more years than I care to admit a few of those as an assistant guide, most shooters American and European had little knowledge on how to tackle the job on a moose. After watching someone dress it out there's a very big smile on their face and a whole lot of pics.

    Here's a tip from an outfitter that doesn't like dirty meat.
    Use the gutless method and cheesecloth.
    Skin it and bag it before the quarters are removed and touch the ground.
    I bet I can keep it as clean as Fisher-Dude.
