Be careful about how you cook your moose, Dan. Mad Cow Disease is now common in various forms of deer in the lower 48. It seems to vector through ticks. Moose is the largest deer in North America. I have not accepted the venison that a friend offers me lately.

I find that hunting for food acceptable, after all I spent my early years shooting rabbits for the pot as we didn't have money spare to buy meat. I gave them a quicker, cleaner end than the fox would have. I do have a problem with trophy hunters unless the numbers in a restricted reserve need to be culled because of overcrowding.

Every HUNTER I know, including all of my family and myself, finds trophy hunting to be wrong. When my family hunts all of the slain animal, including the bones, are used as food or returned. E.g., entrails which are not used otherwise are left for coyotes, bones are either left for wild rodents or other animals or used for bone meal fertilizer (yes, it is ground by us). If too much is taken, something that usually doesn't happen, the excess goes to a foodbank or other source that will help to feed others.

There is nothing endangered in the moose population Jack but again you talk out of your ass as you enjoy your farm raised tortured domestic animals that are force fed live inside boxes and shot full of antibiotics and growth hormones. If you eat any meat you are a hippocrite talking about something you know nothing about. However that never stopped you before as that is what you do

A friend was a game warden in Alaska, and was a hunter. I loved visiting her parents around mealtime - if they knew you were coming they'd get out the beef, but if you dropped by you were liable to get moose, elk, or venison. Mmmmm!

Jack Campin:

Being as how you approve of assassination (Robert Kennedy), I'm surprised as how you make an issue of legitimate hunting. Or are you of the opinion that Bobby was eaten?

For the record, Alaskans are of varied opinions and for everyone who might want to make 'total war against nature' there are many many times that number who revel in the closeness that nature provides, sometimes unasked for.

We also have a sense of humor about our nature. Ergo our invitation to tourists not to love too much: "Step out of the bus and into the foodchain."

There is a real nasty case of a couple of yobs hunting 'old style' (man and son caught on camera killing bear in den). The general consensus is they are a blight on the hunting community and the community as a whole. A bigger blight than the fella that shot Cecil because he was guided to the poor old lion. These jerkwads led themselves and knew what they were doing, including that fish and wildlife had collared the mother bear. What they did not know was that a hidden camera caught them on visual and audio.

Now, bears as well as moose are legitimate game within legal restrictions. I knew a guy who loved to eat bear.

On a more cheerful note, peace may occasionally reign
in local yards.

On the subject of moose, back in 2012 Mrs Backwoodsperson and I took a fly-drive in AB and BC, Canada. On the road between Jasper and Prince George we came across Momma Moose and Li'l Baby Moose trotting along the road-side. We spent several of the best minutes of our lives watching Momma teach Li'l Baby to jump a fence, caught it on the camcorder too. An absolute joy, and a moment I'll never forget. <3

I was on a camping trip in Maine and with my party having lunch by a lake we observed TWO mom mooses with calves, at separate but closely spaced times, with mommas enjoying an in-the-lake stroll, possibly teaching their calves about the nutritious greens to be found growing therein. Anyhow, aside from the spectacular natural interludes, it was clear to us hominids that the moose enjoyed different relationships. One of the calves was obviously relished by its mother, the other calf was whiny and its mother abrupt with it (or just having a bad day?).

My memory also is that those moose were physically larger than the Alaska moose I've lived among more recently. I don't know if that's as a rule or whatnot.

About a decade ago I was fishing the Gros Ventre in Wyoming near Jackson Hole and taking a fair amount of cutthroat on dry flies while working slowly down stream. I was "in the zone", as they say, when all of a sudden a big lady moose came crashing out of the brush and into the river. I was about a hundred feet upstream and almost jumped out of my waders. She stood and glowered at me and when it was apparent she wasn't going to move while I was around I went to the far bank and took the fisherman's trail upstream. When I got a ways away I looked back and she was nudging her small calf across the stream with her snout, a sight I'll never forget.

When you bag one of them it’s like ringing the dinner bell for bears. I swear they know the sound of a rifle. Like quint on jaws ‘ sometimes the bear go away sometimes he don’t ‘ then you watch your moose being carried off without even a thank you after you back off quickly. Sometimes a shot by his feet changes his mind other times, hey I am bigger it’s mine and away it goes lol

Well, an Uncle-in-Law shot a mountain lion while working for the Forest Service. It was during the Depression, so he brought it back to the small town (50 residents!) that he was living in. They butchered it, brought some beer and vegetables, and "had a big cat feed." Bear tastes a lot like pork; of course, much depends on how it's fixed. Everything tastes like chicken if it's not beef or pork: stumps, rattlesnake, kangaroo, bat guano, barbed wire, even chicken. Long pig tastes like pork, or so I'm told.

It takes a lot to bother a moose. As long as they've got the simple things in life (three square, satellite tv for the ice hockey, the odd Chinese takeaway) they are passive and friendly with a good sense of humour and liberal attitudes towards sex.

Lady Hillary and I saw something rather peculiar yesterday. We were on our way to a meeting when a pair of whitetail deer crossed the road in front of us. One took off in a safe direction. The other went into a chain link fence head on. When it hit the fence, it moved to the next section of fence and tried to go through that. Repeated at least six times while we sat there trying not to panic it any worse than it already was. We finally gave up, restarted the engine and drove away. I don't know whether the deer was just more stupid than most or blind[not seeing the link fence] but it was a rather sad and eerie sight. No idea how it all turned out. I hope the deer recovered and departed.
