Last year we had a moose down before last light and quartering continued well after dark.
Just 2 of us. One guy always held a gun on lookout while the other worked.
We also kept a fire going and got a quad in close - left it running.

Started with a 30/30 in '65 followed by a 303, 308 Norma, 300 Win, 375 H&H & finally a 45/70 GG.
Forget about the fire, it may even attract bears. A few years back I posted about some hunters from Alberta having a bear approach & trying to drag a moose away right in front of a roaring fire.
If we have to leave the game overnight then we circle the area with orange flagging about 2 feet high. Next morning while approaching the marked area we have our rifles ready to shoot at a seconds notice. We also listen carefully to the birds/rodents & watch for ravens/owls...
When gutting/quartering one guy keeps a keen eye on the surroundings & ready for immediate action if necessary.
For protection a CRF rifle is better. Also preferably no scope!
Read about Caspell, Fumerton grizzly attack. Both let their guard down while field dressing an elk & unfortunately paid the ultimate price!

HW-AGGRESSIVE Bear at Moose Camp!!
Just recently figured out the Picture Loading thing, lol lol lol, Wanted to share this story, we were hunting by Manning, Alberta, a friend had a Bull Moose tag there, he got a great bull, well that night while have drinks by the fire at about 10:30, we heard a bear prowling the campsite, well this cinnamon bear came in and tried to steal the moose head, so my friend is having a tug of war with this bear, the bear then began growling and snorting in the dark, tough to see him at times, and then he got REALLY AGGRESSIVE and the bear had to be Destroyed, by camping in a Tent the RISK Factor was too Great, it was pretty intense at times!!!

Crazy story! Good pics!
Happy Hunting
I bought mine when HBC did a buy several years back.
There's a new version out. Anyone interested in inquiring about a group buy?
