He was thrashing around and got his antlers stuck in the cables. When the men (miles away) began pulling the lines up with their big equipment, the moose went up with them.

I just hate when that happens.

Snopes confirmed it was true, but added that it happened in October 2004, and they had to kill the moose due to the danger involved, and probable severe internal injury to the moose, who was hanging around only for a few minutes before being noticed.

Ah - well thanks for the rest of the story... I hope they at least got to take home the trophy... and the mooseburgers :~)

Yeah, it looked like that moose woulda been in a world of hurt when they got him down.
