just like any other fall hunt. Prepare for anything. I’m sure your outfitter will fill you in on how to prepare if you need to know

Outfitter mentioned rubber boots and a pair of reg boots,just not used to being to pack choices when doing DIY hunts.

It's kind of strange how there is so little info on moose hunting in Alberta. Not much out there on flying back with meat,antlers.surly theres people that have done it before.

I finally used stocking foot waders and wading boots on my last Alaskan moose hunt. Wish I had gotten them before.

I killed a moose in Alberta about 10 years ago. It was a high ground hunt so no waders or muck boots needed. My buddy and I tagged out early enough to get the meat processed and froze. It was $100 for a 50lb box of frozen meat to check in as extra baggage on the plane home. I brought home 4 boxes.

Im a taxidermist so I turned, fleshed and salted the capes out there. I resalted the next day. I cleaned the skull caps real good. We built a wood crate and shipped the capes and antlers home freight. It got there in about 2 weeks.

I killed a wolf on the same trip. Came to eat
On my moose carcus two days later. They need a cites permit to cross the border so I left the hide with a taxidermist up there who helped ship the salted hide back to me. It took almost a year to get.

There were a lot of moose in the area we hunted. Hope you have a great trip.
