RE: moose
Congrats to your bro on the moose!
I shot a 1100 pound bull last year and it took two of us quite a struggle to just get the front half, head, legs, hide and front 1/4 of ribs into the truck. I think we got a lucky pull and managed to get him in, but two healthy guys was barely enough for the job. Getting a moose in whole would require a bit more equipment, but not sure about smaller bulls below 1,000 pounds. The larger bulls we got in the past it took 4 of us to turn it just to start skinning and quartering the bull. They don' t move without comealongs or pullies at a minimum.
