    I had some moose that was given to me by my friend who was present at his friends moose hunt. They had to break the animal down at the location and make multiple meat sack trips to the game warden for tagging. The warden said they hadn’t seen someone do it like that for a century.

      Fun facts, back in the day people would often move their entire camps to the site of a moose kill rather than trying to transport the body any distance, it was easier to pack up and move everyone than drag a moose through the forest and brush

        I believe it. Once big work horses were more available, people stopped tearing down the moose on-location and just dragged it home. In more modern times, they’ll use a 4x4. This particular area was extremely rutted so they couldn’t get anything wheeled back there, and where do you even find a Clydesdale rental service this day and age?
