The kill was never near the village. It took the people sometimes a whole day to haul in the meat. At that time the Native People did not waste, especially food. No matter the distance every part of the moose was hauled in, including the hide. Today, some people use trucks and stay close to the roads which makes it easier to haul the meat.
Few people hunt out in the bush anymore.
After the moose was butchered and packed away for home people sat resting and eating the meat that had been roasting against the hot coals. This was a special time where they would celebrate and enjoy visiting and sharing with each other. They would tell stories. The hunter would tell his story of the event of the hunt. The meat was loaded in the back packs and carried on their backs.
