Trophy care
and field dressing
Once the moose is down the real work begins. ATV's are used
to haul the moose out of the bush. The guide will field dress
the moose and any help from the hunter is always appreciated,
as these are really big animals to move around.
The moose will be caped by the guide if the hunter is planning
to have it mounted by a taxidermist. It is quite difficult to
take the large sized antlers of a moose home on the airline.
Most hunters leave their moose cape and antlers at a local taxidermist
to have them mounted/crated and shipped home accordingly. We
will transport these to a good taxidermist if the hunter chooses
and can recommend several that do good work. The hunter will
be responsible for all costs relating to taxidermy work. The
average cost to mount a moose head is about $1,000 to $1,400
CDN with about $400-$600 for crating and shipping costs.
Most of the hunters do not take all of the meat home with them
but they can if they choose, however the cost usually is very
steep. Hunters usually take the best cuts home. We will take
the moose to a meat processing plant if the hunter chooses.
Meat care is not included in the cost of the hunt. The hunter
will be responsible for all costs relating to meat care. The
meat processor will cut/wrap and quick freeze the meat. Most
hunters then purchase some coolers or similar containers and
take the meat home on the plane as extra baggage. We have been
advised that the maximum weight per container is 70lbs. The
hunters should make all the necessary inquires before shipping
meat regarding the costs and other limitations. Any meat the
hunter does not take home with them will be donated to needy
families.
