Can you drive those buggies pretty much anywhere you want?

Congrats looks like a fun trip!
Worked for us Big Time!
I can drive over a 5 gallon bucket & some. Watch where we go. It's a crawler
No, but where we go, plenty rigs of all sizes. We do it with, a bit more ease.
Woke up to a misty wet day. The plan was to build a meat pole. That got delayed. A bull was spotted on the same hillside the boys chased a moose earlier in the trip. Geared up, each with a rifle, off to cross the drainage. Sure enough the rain picked up. I moved under the tarp, by the cook station. I could still see the bull through my scope. Then again, the ceiling dropped. Good time for some coffee & Baileys. They must be getting soaked.
After awhile, I could see again. Could not find that bull. Scanning the hill side for several minutes, I found the boys. Hard to spot in camo. They were glassing back the way they hiked. There was some hand pointing and they moved to another position. Wiping rain from glass, a day pack gets thrown down, more wiping of rifle scope. They had found the bull walking away. A cow call stopped him, and he turned broadside, then began raking brush. It's raining, but I see them. Thinking this must be a long shot, and three are let loose in the next few moments.
Bull down 330 yards behind on hill side. A bit far for the young hunter. His time will come.

A bunch of work ahead! There is a moose in the creek, moose on a hillside and nowhere to hang them.
We cut trees, hung a pole and went to fetch my bull.
and back to get the other.
Time to load up!

How can it be work? If it's fun!
Kid's say skinning moose is FUN!
They handled most of the second one. Then I was asked "can we have steak tonight?"
Cooking up tenderloin with salt. pepper, garlic, in butter. Tortellini with carrot & onion on the wood stove.
Could not bring it to them fast enough!

This annual moose thread, per usual, has a "wow" factor that blows the roof off.
Yeah, @BearFoot , I am impressed with how you have turned your hunts in to full on fun for your entire family, and somewhat simplified the process of getting a 1300 lb animal out of the bog country.
Good work, Man.

Every time I see those moose suspended in the air from your rigs it blows my mind. Some serious bush engineering right there, sir. Looks like a fantastic camp and experience. Congrats on the memories, the meat, and the bulls.

What a great thread, and consistent from year to year!
The backcountry repair you guys had to do last year (I think?) really intrigued me. I think if one was to have trouble in the backcountry of any kind @BearFoot and company would be the kind of people you would want to have along.
Edit- A thread on the technical aspects of those buggies would be something I'd read with interest.

Proof that if you want to bad enough, you can do whatever you set your mind to.
Love the way you include your family in this adventure. Also love the ways you leverage your strengths with the Mechanical and Fabrication skills you have.

Forecast for the next day was rain. Woke up to this.
Extended the front porch to get some work done.
Following day is awesome, loaded up and headed for the highway.
Close to the parking lot, partner riding shotgun says "I just realized that no one got stuck this trip!"
Me five minutes later.

Party time again! Moose taco meat burritos.
Woke up to some more of this.
A great hunt trip! I'm blessed and so grateful to have a son as a best friend. Sharing what I've learned over the years, and the grand kids thinking "this is what we do!" Normal stuff.
