Did not have to drag it at all.If you look behind me you will see a logging road.Backed my trailor up to the moose hooked the winch up and pulled him in.

Good looking bull, good access, 29 year wait, no need to hold out more than 8 minutes.

Congratulations on your bull! I'm from central Maine, about 15 minutes south of Newport in the very small town of Troy. I know a lot of people who, like you, had waited a long time to finally get drawn. I also know people who seem to go on a moose hunt every other year. The way most people hunt moose in Maine isn't very challenging (driving down the logging roads until you spot one) but when you find a big bull like yours, it sure makes one hell of a trophy. It's definitely a "once in a lifetime" hunt for a lot of people. Glad to see you got your shot, and tagged out!

Grizz, nice one. 29 years sounds like the wait here in Az. for a Desert Bighorn tag.
