The Wainwright Hunt is also unique in that (I believe) the staff at the Hunter check station will wait until all the hunters are checked out every evening. In other words, if you drop a bull 2km into the bush in the annex and last light, it is gonna be a long night for not only you, but also the staff waiting for you to arrive.
Give them a heads up if at all possible. You never know, someone may even lend a hand.
My brother backpacked a quartered moose across and up the Battle River hills last year, and still talks about the experience. Have fun!

Most of the people there are looking for deer, and can pass moose sightings on to you.
You can have a lot of eyes looking for your moose.
