Welcome to moose hunting! That was a hunt!
My 3rd of 21 bulls was the 2nd easiest one. Pulled the boat to within 20 yards.
My first was the easiest and most expensive- a 12 mile horse-packer job from kill site to trail head.
My 2nd bull was my biggest- 62.5 inches- and a 500 yard pack to the boat.
The rest have been 1500 yards or more pack... several times with the aid of a canoe across a couple small lakes... the longest being 4.5 miles (a smallish yearling - damned if I was gonna hire a float plane for him - made it out in 3 very heavy pack-loads).
I was younger then.....
