Bit of a "Blast from the past"
A friends machine that he affectionately calls "Grumpy"
2 whole moose, 12 miles through the Muskeg, and 2 river crossings to get back to the truck

I guess that's one way to offset the nose heavy argo-ness... Looks like great country.
Nice pictures!! Looks like amphibs are a way of life up there.
What it lacks in ground clearance it makes up for with traction.
Thats a lot of work to get the moose in there and have get them out again. Amphibious atvs rule!
Stand for the Flag. Kneel for the Cross.
It is a lot of work, but if you can drag the moose up on a bank, then roll them into the machine it's not too bad.
Getting them out is only a Loader away, lol.
Still a whole pile if work sitting in the back of that Argo :-)

RD,
Don't mean to hijack the thread, as those are awesome pics. I remember taking an older argo like that hunting. Other than sheer pins, an awesome machine. Looking at those pictures reminded me, I never did post the (very) few pics I have from last November Peace River hunt. Again, -30. No cameras made it far. But.....keeping with the theme of this thread, here are my loaded pics and videos. The Moose vid is two young bulls loaded into the argo, and heading through a swamp that was in no way frozen yet (about the only thing that wasn't in that area). The elk pics are two cow elk we got way back in some hills, had to "cut" our own trail in. And the picture is two more bulls we got, but dragged #2 moose out this time.....

The clip if the moose in the Argo sent a chill through me, made it feel like winter for a moment. The Avenger didn't seem to pprotest at all in either vid. "Up Up And Away", lol
