    Moose fat

    Yes. Always on younger bulls. Older ones just fry some up and taste it. Use the organ fat, and or rib fat. The rump is usually not as tasty. It makes some of the best burgers, I mix some of those heavier than 10% just to get the fat dripping into the grill to get that delicious smoky flavor.

    Jet boat help

    The key to running rivers is being good at reading water. If you can’t read water when the clarity is gone it gets difficult. Which type of boat depends on what you want to do, and where you want to spend the bulk of your time. Big inboard boats haul big loads, and handle big water well. They...

    Knee Pads for Construction

    Proknee https://www.proknee.com/is exspensive, but I know guys who swear by them. I tried some that were custom made for me by the company I was working for. They were very comfortable but not for me. I’m fortunate and don’t need much padding on my knees to work for days on end on them...

    My revolver set up. Not ideal but…

    In your situation I’d leave it at home. It’s not efficient as is. Leave the rifle a few hundred yards from the butcher site, move your meat away from the gut pile ,along with the antlers. Around camp you have the rifle. Until you stand face to face with a bear you won’t understand how woefully...

    Moose Mount Display

    It was a kill, that was carved. Taxi.net used to have a few in the fall, maybe talk to a few taxis in Ak, or post an ad on forums such as this one leading up to the season. I bet there are a handful of guys on the forum that might bring one back for the right price.

    Moose Mount Display

    Fan of euros, very inexspensive. Pack your cape out and sell it. If you ever decide to shoulder mount you should be able to find a cape.

    Mounting a Moose head on the wall.

    If you go to the trouble of pulling rock, then solid block where you want mounts. Then rock, shiplap, T&G etc over. 1/2 OSB under rock or shiplap won’t hold a moose unless it’s a dink. I have three that have been hanging on lags through T&G over blocking for many years. There all over 66 and...
