Baby moose!! 🫎

Thing 2 found a single moose shed back in January, I posted about here.

Well, low & behold, he found the other one. Pretty much in the same spot, just deeper in the snow bank, which has started it’s spring retreat So now we’ve got a nice matched pair to do something with!

He said he wants to hang them in his room so I mounted them on a Birch slice. I added some removable vinyl wording and we used them for an interesting display at the Home Show. Now to get them mounted in his room!

The cool things you find in Alaska!








45# of coarse ground moose.
Time for a coffee break while out getting propane and more beef suet. I didn't take pics of the leg quarter we worked up today but we're 3/4 of the way through.
30# Italian style sausage










Initial coarse grind. Apx 10% beef fat added a long with all moose fat



Iced with snow in the bathtub overnight since it didn't quite thaw completely yesterday.

We did the real Alaskan experience last night, pulled an all-nighter in -13° temps quartering a salvage moose. (I posted pics previously.)

Alaska is serious about not wasting game meat. Even salvage moose still has useful meat left after an impact, these animals are just so big. But this poor girls torso was too far gone.

The truck that hit her did not fare well. I hope the occupants are okay.

The best we can do for these animals is make sure they don’t go to waste. The ultimate environmentally friendly action

Got the call for a salvage moose at 12:30. By 2 am had the cow back home. It's currently  6:46 and I'm almost done with this part. Baby it's cold outside. We'll save the rest for another day.
