When was this filmed? I went through in September 07 and that moose was pretty much a skeleton with skin by that point. Still stunk something fierce though.

I was here on August 1st, '07. The moose still had quite a bit of meat on its bones, but stank to high heaven that's for sure.

@johnfegy Ah, man...I know exactly what you are talking about. I ran into a "fresh" deer carcass on the AT at Reeds Gap, VA back in '91. That was RIPE, lol.

You know what John? I have been watching all of your videos and I thought this was funny...but when you said,"Welcome to the notch." there at the first I noticed you really look like the Spartan Commander in 300. haha. What kind of heritage is your family? And by the way I really really hope to do this one day. I really respect you for doing this, I'm sure it changed your life. Hope things are going well for you now. Ever plan on going back for another attempt, maybe sobo? Or any other places?

I was just on a four day hike on the AT and passed through Mahoosuc notch on May 13th. It was pretty much the Valley of Death. Full of large areas of slick ice and snow. If you fell through, who knows how far you'd drop? I thought it would never be over. I could occasionally catch a whiff of something dead, but the moose was buried under ice.
