@AKDoc Thank you for sharing!

Just picked-up my moose from Indian Valley Meats...fourteen boxes of great eating for several families for another year (roasts, steaks, burger, Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, bacon, chorizo sausage, jalapeño cheese hot-dogs, teriyaki sticks, and jalapeño cheese sticks). Truly fortunate and thankful...

Doc,
That Italian Sausage is second to none. Absolutely one of my favorites!

Me too Vern...it is excellent!

My wife is Italian, and she makes some great meals with it.

Enjoyed the read. Thank you for sharing. Reminds me of my youth reading field and stream. Daydreaming about being in Alaska hunting

Awesome write up! That’s a dream hunt if mine!
Congratulations on your best Bull!

Doc,
I mix a bag of the Italian with a bag of straight burger to make the best grilled hamburgers one can imagine.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

Our local news last night had some video footage of a bull moose shedding both his antlers at the same time. I wasn't sure where to share this in a post, so I stuck it here. They shed every year this time of year, but I've never witnessed this before LOL...

If I lived in town, I’d never butcher another moose myself. It would be really nice to do the hunting and not have to do the cutting. We did 2 bulls this year and that was basically ~ 5 days of being hunched over at a table and cutting.

Right on guy…did it myself for many years, but the push to be back at work after a week or more off for hunting sometimes didn’t leave much time for processing and very, very late nights, so I just started dropping it off...so glad I started doing that!! I’m very happy to spend the extra money each year to have that done...been using the same place for over thirty years now.

That push to get back to work is exactly what I’m talking about. This year we had 2 and with our limited time, it was tough.

Awesome write up Doc and congrats on another good season.

We, as well as loved ones and friends, have been enjoying many, many great meals over the winter...moose meat is our favorite.

Got the bull's rack back from the taxidermist last week. Great memories...

Keep it up Doc and you'll have to build a bigger house.
