Well here are the pictures finally. I won't go into the details again as I have posted these already, and being newer at the whole sit around the campfire spitting and scratching deal I won't overindulge. The evening shots are of my moose, and the daytime shot is of my buddy's moose. His has a drop tine on the right side. Kinda cool for a first moose! BTW does anybody have suggestions for preserving antlers with velvet still on them?

Well, my buddy's are in the freezer and should be in good shape. I shot my bull early on and the antlers went a bit skanky. FNG's I tell ya! Anyways, the meat is unbelievably good, and the sausage is getting rave reviews. My wife's grandma was quite dissapointed I did not bring home the tongue for her! I have done steaks, a couple roasts and for the meat alone I would hunt moose again. I would like to get one without velvet as it is easier to preserve the headgear, but I am not going to complain. I am the happiest that the grizzly that came in to my moose kill did not eat or piss on it at all. Just a nibble at the gut. I was sweating bullets all the way back to the quads thinking a grizz was helping himself to my first kill.
