A Short Quick Moose Hunt- But a Long Read

[hap]

That is why I have always cut my own meat. I am a meticulous tyrant in the field and hate finding ANY hair on my meat.

I will make a huge batch of moose jerky this time around... Great big chunks of round cut into thin slices make outstanding stuff...

Art,

Loved the story! Sounds like a segment off "Alaska Wild!" Thanks for taking the time to share.

BTW... The only hair packed out was on the head and I just skinned it today. The face hair is extremely nice gray/brown/black and very uniform length stuff that would be lighter than hock hair or selected out as one of the three colors.

I will dry it and see what is there. The leather is ridiculously thick and will take a long time to dry. It will likely require the band saw to cut it into chunks, but I should have a half-dozen or so nice big chunks. Anyone that has already posted on this thread gets first dibs.

By ridiculously thick I mean the hide is easily 1/2" thick!

No takers on moose face hair?

I just pressure-washed the skull yesterday to mount on a plaque. It is amazing what hot, high pressure water being run through a tiny nozzle will do...

Are you giving this hair away or selling it?

This would be completely free, like I do with all sorts of stuff I get.

I would like to give it a try. Would be happy to pay postage. Thanks.

That is an exciting story. I enjoyed that very much. I read it twice. Unfortunately, I've only been able to dream about such excursions, as I have not had the means to do it myself. But i always enjoy reading your posts. Thanks for sharing it with us.
