gotta think positive, I say yes and it'll be real cool if someone finds them before it's too late.

yeah I did to name was masport

The last sighting was only a few years ago 2020 (unconfirmed) But interestingly the guy was a pilot and an ex moose hunting guide in Canada so actually knew what a moose looked like!

A very cool part of our backcountry history!

Lot of hiding places down there,big country.Anything is possible even with zillions of flying hours over it.

Here's one me and Bunji shot a while back down there, took a herculean effort to drag it back to his jetboat, lucky we had his dog's to help with the carry. Can't remember which gun he brought but man it was a shooter.

The only way to really prove it is to SHEWT IT BILLYBOB!

Is that what you mean?

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
