Do you think she is pumped???? :D

Congrats to her. That is some BIG moose.

Would you ask her to write up a short story (or long) about the hunt so you could post it here for us to read? Or maybe she wants to be a forum member? Either/or.

Good for her. That should fill the freezer.

She must have shot it in the back yard to have it hauled in whole. I was never that lucky. Regardless, that's a great accomplishment for any one and especially a female. Her husband to be will have to really be a mountain man. What rifle caliber did she shoot it with?

Congrats to Haley! I'm sure your chest must be a little bigger today cfarm! If not it should be!
:D

bama,I was just a little excited too when I posted it. :D
pappy,the moose was shot about 100 miles in the woods. But there was a logging road 200 yards away. Took them about 4 hours to get it to the truck,using a Lewis winch,pulleys and 500 feet of rope.He said it's a big deal to haul them out in one piece and take the moose to the weigh station. A Ruger,7mm,08 was used to shoot the moose.

thecfarm · September 25, 2013, 08:30:17 PM

The pictures are coming in now.

bama20a · September 25, 2013, 09:09:59 PM

WmFritz · September 25, 2013, 10:33:11 PM

Great job, Haley!

sawguy21 · September 25, 2013, 11:05:47 PM

I can imagine how hard they worked to skid that sucker onto the truck. That is one big boy.

Good job Haley! We eat 2 whitetail each year here in Ohio; that moose would last prob 3 years! Wow what a catch.

Moose meat and grits sounds like sacrilege to me.

thecfarm · September 26, 2013, 11:47:22 AM

Grits and moose meat sounds terrible to me. Well,to tell you the truth,grits and anything sounds awful to me. :D

woodandtractors · September 26, 2013, 09:34:47 PM

cfarm-you are not alone in thinking that!

Congrats on the moose. We also bagged a moose on Friday that was very close in size to your granddaughters. I am going to post some pictures as soon as I get them loaded into my computer. Gotta love moose meat 8)
