A woman in Alaska recently got a major surprise when she found a moose making itself at home in her house.
Barbara Nickels, of Soldotna, told AllGood News on Wednesday that she often leaves the door cracked so her dog, Jesse, can get out.
But when she went to close the door after Jesse returned from his jaunt one day, Nickels said, she found that her pet had brought a large moose back in with him.
“I think I stared at it for three or four second before it dawned on me — yes, he’s in the house,” she said of finding the animal in her living room.

No one wants to get up close and personal with a moose.
Bullwinkle J. Moose is cute . The ‘big Guys’ are not.
There are two things you do with a moose.
#1 Shoot and eat them.
#2 Leave them alone, they will hurt you.
A month’s supply of meat walked into her living room. Why is she complaining?!
Oh! I didn’t remember that, but you’re right come to think about it.
I bet they aren't so cocky now.
Did she have a sister?
3. Watch them, from a distance.
The Joe Biden moose, you are shocked to find waiting for you in the shower.
I would be shocking in Florida.
In Alaska, it’s just annoying.
Seeing a camel in your Alaskan home would be shocking, but a moose? Maybe surprising, but not so shocking.
She must have been really drunk.
That’s like seeing a Tiger In Africa.
Defend your ground. The best way to deal with a moose is by 1/4ing it. The hind part is the fastest to process. Outside of freezing, canning is an excellent choice. You can include seasoning for flavor as well. Yum!
Hard to found Moose or Elk jokes. Even whitetail deer can be massively destructive. Some good videos on those as well.
For anyone curious, dressed and butchered, it works out to around 500 lbs of meat. Moose steaks. Moose chops. Moose sausages. Moose burgers. Moose shishkabob. Moose casserole. Moose stroganoff (I’ve actually eaten that). Moose Wellington. Ground moose in a croquette with a fine wine reduction moose sauce. You’re snowbound in a cabin with drifts up to the eaves and what’s for dinner? Yeah, MOOSE. No wonder they get cabin fever and have at one another with double-bit axes up there.
It would be nice to see more of that video but even if no serious damage was done, those guys probably got a drinking lesson they will remember.
