Any legal hunter would have done the same. Unfortunately we get a bad reputation because the media does not distinguish between illegal poachers and honest hard working hunters. We are natures stewards and we would sooner see an old cow moose (like the one in this video) survive one more winter and birth calves in the spring, than illegally harvest her just for a hoot. It's time to change the narrative, we hunters are the modern conservationists who will ensure the survival and success of all species native to this great land.

Well done Mate! I've happened upon a young bull that broke through ice in a shallow swampy area about 6 years back myself, and was exhausted similar to this cow. It took better than an hour, chopping a 20' channel to shore, and rigging straps behind him and some slow patient winch work, but he still had the will to work with me and get himself to solid ground. Takes a certain type to be willing to stop and assist these huge and potentially dangerous animals.

Actually gravel would have made it worse, when she continued slipping she would have gashed her legs and likely caused more injury. The proper protocol is what he did, gently coax it and provide a bit of stability so she can get her feet. Sand would be ideal, or even throwing rock salt down (though that could be illegal depending on the state as it would attract animals to the road and may result in more animals being hit by vehicles).

Upon taking hunter safety, and learning the honorable ways of hunting by my mentors and friends, my heart and mind saw that one can honor an animal one harvests or hunts for food. I don't feel the need to change your mind on this subject, however some insights into hunting might actually make you appreciate it, or at minimum understand what hunting is about. it did not change for me until I experienced it for myself.
