“....we must ban hammocks!”

No, we must genetically change the moose to where they all don’t have antlers. This way they can use the hammock any time they wish. (Until they fall out of it and that brings up another issue to ponder in congress)

I was going to say “did they consider trying cheese first”, but someone probably already beat me to it.

”Due to the nature of the entangled animal and the proximity to hunting season, a tranquilizer would render the animal not harvestable and inedible,” the sheriff’s office said.”

Can someone explain that? Does the tranquilizer stay in the system so long that:

(a) they were afraid someone would harvest the sleepy-moose a block or two away?

or (b) that the sedative ruins the flavor for hours, days, weeks?

The antlers can confuse you. So can the reflection from its silver coating.

The Big Elk, also known as Storelgen, is the world's largest (tallest and heaviest) sculpture of a moose (Alces alces). It is near the village of Atna in Stor-Elvdal, Hedmark, Norway. The sculpture [ edit ] Moose are often called elk in Europe and elg is the Norwegian word for moose.

Rådyr used to be only in parts of eastern Norway, but they have spread to most of the country. So in a nutshell… Norwegian Elg are called Moose in North America and European Elk in Europe BUT when Europeans talk about them in English they call them Moose. Elk in North American are called Wapati. Double uffda.

Unless, of course, if you are Canadian....

It's fun to blame the Saskatchewans
