Ryan had success this weekend with a nice bull moose. There were a couple issues though...the first being that the moose shed his rack when he died in the pond in the middle of a swamp, and the second issue was that the moose was dead and in a pond in the middle of a swamp. It took Ryan and I a couple hours to wrestle the moose to a dry enough spot so Ryan could gut him. Of course our waders were back at camp. To give you some perspective, in the bottom picture, we drug the moose from where the blaze is hanging in the brush to where Ryan is gutting him...it hurt!

damn, that sounds like a lot of work. So were both antlers off, or just the one? I see him holding one. Did you chase it out of the swamp?
Now that is sweet! How far from the truck?
We believe one antler is augered deep into the muck in the swamp. As far as the drag, we were able to get a truck about 1/2 mile from where the moose died, so with the game cart, we were able to make two relatively quick trips.
