MooseTrophy Care & Field DressingOnce the moose is down the real work begins. ATV's are used to haul the moose out of the bush. The guide will field dress the moose and any help from the hunter is always appreciated, as these are really big animals to move around.The moose will be caped by the guide if the hunter is planning to have it mounted by a taxidermist. It is quite difficult to take the large sized antlers of a moose home on the airline. Most hunters leave their moose cape and antlers at a local taxidermist to have them mounted/crated and shipped home accordingly. We will transport these to a good taxidermist if the hunter chooses and can recommend several that do good work. The hunter will be responsible for all costs relating to taxidermy work. The average cost to mount a moose head is about $1,200 to $1,300 CDN with about $600-$800 for crating and shipping costs. Most of the hunters do not take all of the meat home with them but they can if they choose, however the cost usually is very steep. Hunters usually take the best cuts home. We will take the moose to a meat processing plant if the hunter chooses. Meat care is not included in the cost of the hunt. The hunter will be responsible for all costs relating to meat care. The meat processor will cut/wrap and quick freeze the meat. Most hunters then purchase some coolers or similar containers and take the meat home on the plane as extra baggage. We have been advised that the maximum weight per container is 70lbs. The hunters should make all the necessary inquires before shipping meat regarding the costs and other limitations. Any meat the hunter does not take home with them will be donated to needy families. Another option that many hunters are choosing is to drive to Alberta and haul the meat, cape and antlers home. This may be a less expensive option depending on the distance travelled. Book your next Alberta Moose hunting trip with us!
