Looks like it is missing its right side antlers.
I call bogus! That’s a deer’s head. Fake t-shirt!
Remind me of the time when I used to work at US steel in Chicago. We had this guy in the electrical department was a real jerk. We would take our break in a metal break shack along side where the scrap yard was. One day he came in there and we slowly made our way out of the shack one by one and welders welded the door shut. And we all took a hammer and started beating on the walls of the shack for like five minutes.
Moe security cameras are set to record video for only a certain amount of time. it takes time for them to re-trigger and start a new video.
I remember that 45rpm song well from 1960.
I’ve had three close encounters with moose here in Montana. I am more concerned about them than I am about mountain lions or wolves ... I’ve come across both.
On two occasions I drew my handgun. The other occasion all I had was a 9’ 5 weight fly rod. I was trapped behind a tree doing my Zorro imitation.
They are seriously big when they come upon you and are capable of stomping you to death. If you haven’t had a close encounter with one you can’t imagine just how freaking big they are.
I have moose looking in my windows all the time; they see the big screen on the wall. I’ve hand fed them apples, cut snares off moose, and even had them walk up my porch steps and lay nx to door. I have a few mineral blocks in yard and the plott hound can’t scare them off when they are licking them. They don’t like you touching them though; their hair goes up and they growl at you, no joke. moose are real special to Alaskans.
Maybe a phone could be incorporated into some sort of gun.
The article does not explain. It is poorly written.
Folks, Eska is from Eagle, Alaska on the Yukon River, I’ve been there a few times. If ever you have this image pop up in your head about bush Alaska, its probably Eagle.
And he’s not lying about the moose. He lives in THEIR territory.
I live hundreds of miles to the south of Eagle.
“Or can you?”
You just have to say “it’s coming right for us!”

Dere is a moose in da huse get em ute !
Three years or so ago a 19 year old emptied his 9mm into a bull moose. The guy was flat on his back firing upwards when one golden bullet went up the moose nose and into the brain finally killing it. The guy was walking his dog, down by the river just outside the nearest town, with his girlfriend when the moose charged. He backed up firing, fell to the ground and kept firing. The game warden said the moose was after the dog and would have killed him. Stomping him to death.
Moose don’t like dogs, at least the moose around here don’t. Two of my three encounters I had my dog with me. The last time my dog and I were behind a tree with the bull moose pawing the ground slinging snot on the other side. It wanted my dog, who was just a puppy still. This was in my backyard and I had only my snub nose .357 in my hand. I came very close to shooting and I’m not ashamed to say my hand was shaking. They are scary big. Of course my backyard is a mountainside miles from pavement in Montana so that makes it a little different.
I’ve heard about how special moose are to Alaskans. They are special to me as well. I see them frequently. But they are wild animals and people should not be feeding them or enticing them with mineral blocks. Fish and game will fine you for doing that around here. I hate it when new people move into these mountains and start feeding the wildlife. It causes an unnatural concentration of wildlife (food), and that brings in the predators. I don’t need any more mountain lions or wolves wandering around my backyard.
I’m sure his wife and daughter think they need their phones to stay connected - maybe confiscating them for a day or two would get them to answer his calls...
Quit moosing around!:)
