Hmmmm....could make for precarious hunting shooting and harvesting a moose on a big block of ice. I think I’d pass.

Not moose.

Mature bulls are about 5 ft high (1.5 m) at the shoulder and weigh 600 – 800 lbs (273 – 364 kg). Cows are smaller, averaging approximately 4 ft (1.2 m) in height and weighing 400 – 500 lbs (182 – 227 kg). An 800-lb muskox will dress out at about 480 (218 kg) lbs, providing roughly 275 lbs (125 kg) of meat.

A friend was moose hunting and bagged a nice one!

One problem, it dropped in a swamp!

It was a major project to clean and cut, then pack it out from the swamp.
