You sound like a very responsible gun owner Rapaire, if only all the others were like you America would be a safer place.

What a coincidence about the moose. I was coming home from a trip to the big city a couple of hours ago and there was a young moose, about the same as in the pic but probably female (cow ?) just beside the road a couple of kilometers from my place. She jumped and bounded off at the sight of the car.
