Over many years, I've been involved with moose research on the Susitna River and elsewhere in Alaska, and I've been fortunate to have taken several while hunting. They were an integral part of life for nearly 30 years for me. This is a typical winter moose at my place in Idaho. This was a meat camp in Alaska. This was my first bull moose in the Alphabet Hills, Alaska. It was 55", but the photo is somewhat "faked". Doing a "preg check" on a research moose. I've heard and read many times to use a big, belted, heavy bullet for taking moose. I found many times that the little 25-06 was plenty of gun. This was part of a calf mortality study where the calf was killed by a grizzly bear. The green is a radio collar.

Tatiana -
Your posts are always interesting. Thanks. I didn't know the stiff hair on moose legs was used on the bottoms of skis. Here, I know they used to use otter pelts.
Like grizzlies in Alaska, there seems to be those that eat moose calves (meaters) and those that stick to vegetation (planters). Depending on the location, the culprits leading to poor moose calf recruitment may be grizzlies, black bears, or wolves.
Thanks for your additions.

Yeah Pete -
Training a biologist to read and understand regulations is an impossible task.
I already had a moose that year, but Miss Lisa was still looking...

Best of luck to you. Successful or not, I'm betting it'll be a memorable hunt. Have a blast.

Pieces of moose hide(the stiff short hair or clipped longer hair)are laced on the bottom of snowshoes when travelling in hilly areas or during crust to keep the snowshoes from sliding back. A piece about the size of the sole of your foot is sufficient.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
