Rear moose quarter

[Ktm500]

Do any of you know if a rear moose quarter from an Alaskan bull will fit inside of a kifaru reckoning?

I assume you are talking in one piece ? Short awnswer , Maybe. They are big. I grew up in the Yukon and we packed hinds on an old US Army packbord tied on. Most of those quarters were at least 100 pounds. Dad always claimed Bulls in Alaska he had shot were even bigger. You might have to bone them out.

Depending on the unit and time of year that might not be legal.

To be clear I have never hunted in Alaska. Was born there and moved to the Yukon at 11. Grew up and hunted in the Yukon. So don't know Alaska regs at all. Thanks for the info.

It'll prob fit (width and girth) but you'll need to cut the lower leg off below the Achilles tendon so the hoof doesn't wack ya or catch on brush overhangs.

if it don’t fit upside down it’ll fit right side up!!

I’ve packed moose quarters before but we used a pack frame. My kifaru would be much more comfortable. Do you know about how wide a rear quarter is?

no legal reason in any GMU to have to include anything below the achilles or the shanks.

Sure, but that's a far cry from boning out a quarter.
