How far have you actually packed a moose?

I had a little help from the LO who let me hunt.

I shot my Alaskan moose .6 miles from our drop camp in the morning. Our area was bone in. My and a friend finished getting him hung in camp right at dark. We did spend time to cape him before we started hauling the load across the tundra and swamp. A few days later we shot another bull about .25 miles from camp, no swamp, and It felt like and easy stroll compared to the first one. I think anything much further than a mile an you could be looking at more than 1 day. We had Brown bears and wolves by camp so I would worry about leaving one on the tundra over night.

All great info. I'm doing a diy moose hunt this year and was curious how far out was too far out. It seems like a lot of factors go into making that decision and everyone has a different opinion.

most have been about 20 yards and thats using my truck to drag them out of the ditch from the trooper road kill list. the one we shot was about 300 yards to the atv trail
