Retrieval is only one problem when hunting moose in remote areas. The other is of equal importance - the constant enemy of spoilage. Any reputable guide/outfitter should have that covered. A float trip for moose or really any game including caribou, is by definition, going to be a challenge for taking care of meat. It might be warm and the pick up date and location can slide. It can be wet or wetter with no way to keep meat dry. Visualize shooting an animal in first day or two then having to get the meat to a pick up point, unspoiled, on a certain date- maybe a week in the future. You get there but it’s socked in for an extra day or two, You then have to wait the extra time trying to keep a 600 lb pile of wet meat, that is already marginal, from spoiling. Well prepared and responsible outfitters earn their keep on these hunts. A wet, soggy float hunt may be the most demanding but even a remote drop camp hunt in open tundra is not a cake walk for retrieving big game or caring for the meat. ![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@14.0.2/assets/72x72/1f642.png)
