Argo Moose Hunting (part 2)

A short video of the second moose we pulled out with the Argo. I wanted to get better footage for this one such as some of the stuff we had to get through on the way out but for some reason the footage didn't turn out and I had the on/off switch reversed on the camera . In any case, this moose was way way bigger than the first two. Earlier in the week we had pulled one out a younger bull with a quad, and it was a really nightmare. Argo made it easy, almost too easy.

Next year I promise to try and get footage that doesn't show the gut pile, and does actually show the Argo at work. Hey, I am new at this.........

Cool vid. Thanks for sharing. Does it not hurt the meat dragging it?

[DerekF]

No not at all, once you have field dressed the animal there is no blood to bruise the meat. I suppose that if you dragged it for along way on dirt/gravel it would not be good but we were only a couple of kms from the camp. Plus there was tons of snow on the trail so it dragged real easy. That moose was pushing 1000 pds live and it slid so nice that I didn't really even feel it behind the Argo.

awsome again!! Dont worry about the gut pile, it is just part of the story that you tell. Anyone that goes moose hunting and dosent want to see a gut pile is in for a rude awakeining That is so cool, i dont think that argo even hesitated once. What size eingine does it have? How many hours?

[DerekF]

26hp. 300 hrs. Nope, other than it is alittle harder to turn quickly with 1000pds behind you, I didn't even feel it behind the machine. Way nicer than a quad.........

I agree with Derek, I've pulled Moose a long ways behind Argos, and other than hair loss from contact with the ground they are fine. Wouldn't recommend dragging them through mud and water though.

I even saw a guy dragging one down the highway to his house one time...... Behind his CAR, lol.

Sounds like a good hunting trip! Bet you'll be checking the quality (and type) of your fuel in the jerry cans in the future! lol..

Mine did a good job of draggin out my moose this fall too, but he was "full"... Took him to the road, dressed him and loaded him in the truck..
