I don't have a digicam, but I'm waiting for pics from two of the guys that do.

The haul out..
The guys came in with the help of a chainsaw, with a 450 Honda ATV. WE tied the head to the back rack, and off we went, with guys up front helping to steer the machine, as it was a tad light in front, and piling on the front for wieght when needed.
About half way off the island, the ATV dropped into a hole, and ejected the driver a good six feet to the right. The machine didn't go all the way over, but stopped standing on the side of it's wheels. We quickly righted it, and it never even stopped running. Everyone was fine, so off we went again. We got off the island over a bridge made with two logs and some rough cut 1X6. The smooth rock face on the other side of the bridge was too steep, so we got another ATV at the top to winch us up the hill.
Six of us tried to lift the moose into the trailer, but that was rediculous. So, we tipped the trailer and used the winch again.
When we got back to camp, we hauled the moose up the hanging tree (large white pine) with the big gear driven winch on the army truck.
We decided it was too mild to hang in the bush, so we skinned it out, quartered (By the old two axe method), and took it out by ATV to the butcher.

Way to go, big guy! 
I don't think there is such a thing as shooting too small a moose, here in Ontario where the pickin's tend to be kind of slim. And if six guys can't lift him, he ain't exactly last year's calf, right?

I hope to try my 88 Win in 308, and thanks to Tiriaq and PerversPépère, my soon to be restored Ross in 303 British this year.
It will be very hard to leave the 30-30 at home.
