Every family has stories and traditions that are handed down from generation to generation.

For the Engers, many of those stories revolve around "Lester the Moose" and his long, strange journey back into their possession.

This tale of moose and men began in 1909 when Melvin Enger hopped on a train with nothing but his rifle and a backpack to go moose hunting up north.

I think Lester would have greatly appreciated being left in the wild.

Lest would have died, probably being eaten alive by wolves. Nothing of him would have been remembered.

Now, in a way, he has been immortalized.

I lost a glove once but found it under the bed. Gramma always said if you lose something just start cleaning the house and you’ll find it.

Moose, sisters Lost things Gramma.... under the bed. Please refrain from setting me up to be banned from FR for adding the term virginity. Lou you are cruel. This is not a bar. I am not a pro comedian. What has been set up may qualify as World’s Funniest Joke
