Two Moose to Pack:Two Moose to
Pack
"One year Frank Amouak and I went upriver to hunt for moose in a meadow across from Tuqliq. We were looking around when we noticed that a tree was shaking really hard. We soon realized that it was a bull moose. It was far away, so I aimed my 30-06 high at the top of the moose's back. Because the distance was approximately 325 yards, the bullet fell as it traveled and hit the moose in the knees. After we shot at it again and killed it, we butchered it and packed it down to the boat. We had to make five trips down to the boat. When we finally were finished, we came home. Another time some other people and I caught a moose up at 12 Mile Slough. As we were carrying the moose meat to the boat, another bull moose started to attack us. Luckily we were on our last trip down to the boat. The moose was so close we could see the steam it was blowing out of its nose. We shot it when it was only about 10 feet away from us. Now we had another moose to pack down to the boat!"
