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.

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 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

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

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

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?

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.

Very possible it was born with no vision in one eye or lost vision in one eye. They have very acute vision but need both for depth perception

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.

the more I now think about moose...

..slowly recalling vague memories of a TV natural history program
I watched when I was a kid.
The biologist presenter may have been Jacques Cousteau
except he wasn't French or underwater.
The highlight of the documentary were spectacular scenes
of the moose using their antlers as rotor blades for vertical take of and landing...
This was probably on the BBC on a Sunday afternoon...???

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.

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.

Another fascinating thing. An old timer even older than me said watch the ravens. Apparently they figured out if they help you they get all the tasty guts. They will fly into a tree look at you and sqack from tree to tree leading you right to them. I thought he was full of wacky tabaccy but it’s really true

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

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.

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.
