A lower-48 hunter that goes to Alaska on a DIY moose hunt has a fool for a guide.

Ted Trugeblood titled the chapter on moose hunting, in his book on hunting, "Moose are too Damn Big".

Packing, paddling and dragging one out is a challenge.

I have had over 3,000 encounters with moose, maybe a couple of hundred different ones, many over and over again.

Even the "small" ones would be hard to extract.

I don’t understand why one would go to so much additional trouble to avoid hiring a guide. Paying some money to avoid a lot of hassle and unnecessary risk makes sense to me. It reminds me of one FReeper’s tagline: “Yes, I could eat it raw, but why would I do that when I can build a fire?”

Of course, I am not the intended audience for this piece.
