  The age ole theory, do I hang him with the head up or the head down.

  Usually the Moose gets hung up the quickest way possible! Some don't know & some don't care

  & some say this is the way I seen it done for years.

  Same thing as they used to say, hurry & run over to it & slit its throat to let the blood drain out.

  Ole School stuff, once the heart stops beating no more blood is going to flow.

  So where does the blood naturally go, to the heart, & where is most of the meat on a Moose?

  The hind end right! After doing Seminars & talking with Butchers, the best way to hang a Moose or

  any animal for that matter is " HEAD DOWN " this lets the blood to drain naturally from the animal.

  Take this from an Ole Hunter that knows.

  I think this depends more on what your doing with the moose, Our seasons are early here, so we don't leave them hanging long, take some pic, skin them out and quarter them up, which seems to be easier to do hanging them by the head. And also the way we have always done it. we can start the hide with a knives, and then pull it off mostly with a 4 wheeler / truck and a rope. the head may be up out of reach, but the rest of the moose is easy to get at, where I think hanging by the hind legs, the hind quarters would be out of reach or the head in the way. Do you use a good rugged spreading bar or 2 sets of chain falls when hanging a moose head down? Will a moose still hang evenly when you start quartering it off one side, using a spreading bar? I guess everyone has there own way of doing things, and reasons for them.

  A good spreading Bar goes a long way!
  I like your way & your theory, But as you say to each his own.
  I also seen that a well oiled Chian Saw, with Vegetable Oil,
  works great on cutting the spine down the middle & halfing the Moose.
  Depending on how warm it gets in Camp the onger you can hang it the better, but in most cases its too warm so the hang him, shin him, job has to be done fast & get the Moose to a cooler or Butcher ...A.S.A.P,
  Thanx for your input, & good luck with all your hunts

  Life is like a trip, do not care about the destination, Coach factory outlet online care about the mood of the scenery along the way and look at the scenery!Life is what can really be so open-minded? Life is a journey, everyone encountered in traveling, and everything is a growth. Coach factory outletperhaps the information will be occlusion point, but the vision may be better; perhaps films and television shows and watch less, but to achieve the dream of a little more; perhaps micro logging could not write, but may write more diaries; maybe QQ, not want to talk on the chat friend, but to send cards to call you, write a letter will be more warm and ... what, in fact, there is no network, and that they can decide!
  
  
  
  If there is no network, Coach outlet online the day will be more fulfilling, life will be richer. Network, the day still continues; if there is no network, will be a lot more time to spend with the family, no network, house female otaku who can go out and take part in some meetings and exercise, there is no network, can not send micro logging, you can pick up the pen to their own want to record on paper. If there is no network, but also very good is not it? If there is no network, my world is quiet, pure, or can be meditative reading a paper book, and the quality of the book are very good, content and plot moved me. Network, I imagine the world is rich and varied, it is important, but also write, and then to the post office to mail it expectantly.
