Maine Moose Hunting

[Usi05]

Got my Maine permit yesterday. One less thing to worry about as I am over 1300 miles away. We are going to leave several days early for a road trip. The hunt is getting real at this point. I can't believe what some processors are charging. One I talked to would be over a thousand dollars or more. I am going to bone it out, bring it back and have a deer processor do it for a hundred dollars or so.

This is my backup plan as well. They outfitter said they will quarter and let me freeze then I can bring back to MI and pay significantly less.

Also means I can leave right away if I choose and reclaim some days back home for other hunts!

I posted my bull above but had the exact same trip as what you are describing, 1400 mile car ride. I took 3 coolers 2x150 qt and a 120qt. we had help packing the quarters out but once at camp we spent 5 hours deboning and putting the meat into bags on ice in the coolers. It traveled fine home that way. the local processing and taxidermy was insane cost. so I used the 120 qt cooler for the cape and capped the skull. it was quite the jig saw puzzle getting the truck loaded but everything made it home.
