The problem is loose moose. You can run into one on a bicycle (happened to a doctor here) and it may or may not stomp you to bits. Hit one with a motorcycle and spend time in the Emergency Department. Hit one with a car or truck and you get a new vehicle and possibly get to meet folks at the hospital. Hit one with a train and you get mooseburger. In some places you can salvage the meat as a kind of pity prize for your own damages.

My uncle hit a deer in the Quantocks...
..as he was driving his transit van, it went straight in the back, then home to his big frezer...
Dunno if he ate the bruised bits, sold them to ciderered up blind drunk blokes down the pub, or fed them to his dogs...

I'm now wondering if he'd have done the same thing
if he'd run down a pedestrian on that road...????

.. he was the most hard core deep rural old world country dweller in our family

I was told some time ago that if you find dead pheasants, deer etc. on the road you are allowed to take them and eat them, but if you accidentally kill a pheasant or deer you are not allowed to keep it as that would count as poaching.
Can anyone confirm this?

I heard the same thing, Jos. In fact, I'm sure I read it in a newspaper.

Jos that use to be the case in Pennsylvania and nys. Now they come out take pictures make sure you were not drinking etc and let you take it. Far as deer my mrs totaled three cars with them running out. I think that’s why they issue five or six permits permits per hunter. We have an explosion of them here because of all the food and farmland

In Alaska they take the moose and donate it to the homeless shelter you cannot keep it. Usually damage is really bad and lots of people have been killed. Not like a deer you smash up your car pretty good but a moose is like hitting a cement wall

If you hunt or want bear protection mine own are superb. I will send them in a buffalo bore box but they are not buffalo bore. I use the best hardcast 405 , starline brass and 38.5 grains of imr 4198 powder. It’s a medium not max load but devastating on game

I'd like to see a genetically engineered cross between a moose and a grizzly bear..

Now that'd be a predator requiring a change of underpants
if you ever came face to face with one...

BIG Al, the acoustic qualities of Moose antler is remarkably penetrating in that it is more porous than wood but immensely stronger, hard and loud.
Be the first to have a Moses, Mossad, I mean Moose antler Uke.

If you crossed a horse with a swordfish or a narwhal, would you get a unicorn?
