[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 736682, member: 12863"] As far as an instructional on hunting. I can start by saying never ever shoot a moose in the water. I can also say if one is hunting along the water ways we ALWAYS shoot a moose behind the ear when he is facing away from the water or in a position in which when he drops he is not in the water. I can remember the last member of a hunting party was still waiting for the moose he wanted to shoot. He took off in a small 16' skiff a week into the hunt. The rest went grouse hunting, did some fishing or whatever. Some time later this guy comes back to camp and askes for help as he had his moose down. Every one loads up and heads a couple miles down the Yukon river. When the get there they find what appears to be a bull moose floating in the water of a slough. After exchanging unpleasantries they went back to camp, got the 30' transport boat with twin 150 Yamaha's on the back. Nine hours later the very wet meat was hanging on a meat pole back in camp. Yes accidents happen and the closest I ever came to this was the afternoon of opening of moose season it started raining one year. The 1/2 of a bull was laying on dry ground where he was shot and we went back the next morning after getting 9" of rain over night. The only thing sticking out of the water was the antlers. Only time in 25 years of moose hunting that this has ever happened. We had brought a canoe back the next morning and was going to pack the meat the 100 yards over to the creek and let the boat do all the work after that. We tied up next to the moose and quartered the last two quarters under water and the two of us then lifted the back bone and head up on the pile in the canoe and finished butchering. The backstraps went out the day before. Neal [/QUOTE]
