RE: Am I the only one doing this?
It's about the only way to do it in most places up here (unless you shoot your deer on the beach and float them out to the boat). Evidence of sex has to stay "naturally attached" to the meat until delivered for processing. The one thing you guys don't have is the thrill of packing out 60 lbs. of yummy bear snacks on your back in the land of the world's largest land carnivore, adds a whole new dimension to bowhunting!!!
Don't moose have to come out of the field whole in NH? Talk about ridiculous!!!!
