I have a Maasdam Rope Puller I use for felling trees and such.Is that what your talking about?

We have winched them into more desirable locations from where they fell, to get them out of water or sand, prior to gutting and piecing them out. The chainsaw winch is what we use.

Nice sharp medium sized knife with a pack works evertime. Had to pack this boy out 1 miles to boat. Keep an eye out for black bears that like to circle while you walk with blood running down your back lol. [Linked Image]

If you have two pickups just hook cable thru a pulley on hitch of one truck to the moose and pull the moose to the road with the second truck.If only one truck hook the wheel to a tree and pull the moose to the road with the truck.

Never shot a moose before. But I dont drag deer anymore after I tried the gutless method.

I have killed a lot of elk in my days and one moose. If I have to pack them any distance I just bone them out at the kill site. No need to pack out a bunch of bones.
Packed my moose out 13 miles with mules. it was in quarters. There is a lot to be said for a couple good pack mules.


I can't believe that cop put me in the back seat when I clearly called shotgun.
