Moose Hunting Basics
Moose don't like human contact and try to stay away from people activities areas,
then areas near roads, camps, or crowded hunting lands are not a good place to find a moose since the animals will stay as far as possible from there; instead, move deep in the woodland to increase your chances.
Once deep in the woods you need to know where to find a moose, otherwise your hard work will not pay. As on deer hunting, pre-season scouting is a big deal; try to focus on a relative limited area and learn about it as much as possible. Where there are food sources, water and so on. Help from residents or experienced hunters on those lands will be great since they know about local moose behaviours and where to find them.

Salt to keep the cape
Just a small piece of meat or fat is enough to ruin a whole cape and turn it useless, no matter how experienced your taxidermist is; thus the preserving job must begin 
on the field, too much time before the skin reach its final destination.
There's a lot of online resources to learn how to properly perform fine fleshing then you will learn easily, but if you wish, there's always a chance to learn from masters; just go out to the bushes with someone who really knows how to preserve the cape.
Remember that moisture and bacteria are number one enemies, moreover, the decomposition process begins as soon as you shoot your game to death so you will need to move fast to preserve skin properly.
After turning and fleshing the cape, it's time to do the magic and use salt. All kind of salt (sodium chloride) will work, however, fine grained, non-iodized salt is the best choice.

Beginner Hunter Basic Gear
When you begin to hunt there's a myriad of gadgets, apparels and devices available 
on the market "required" to hunt; and even when a telescopic sight would be useful, perhaps it's not the best thing to invest on at the very beginning. Even when you will need certain apparels and gadgets will be necessary once you get experienced, you don't need to expend a fortune to begin hunting, instead you may start with the basic, mandatory items and later invest on more complex devices.
Keeping meat fresh, the challenge after the catch
On cold weather this may be easier but on warmer areas or at the season beginning 
external temperatures is not a help precisely, moreover, the combination of high temperatures and moisture is fatal to preserve meat but following some clever steps you will gain enough time to keep your meat safe.
First thing to do after skinning is to eviscerate the body; bacteria live mainly on skin surface and hollow viscus, thus removing bacterial sources is a critical step to keep your meat fresh. Once eviscerated, be sure to keep viscerae away from the body in order to avoid contamination.
