Don't count your chickens before they hatch!

GO ASTROS!

A møøse in your powerlines can be nästi.

Wow, that's a strange one. And I thought it was weird when they licked the cars in our yard!

Obviously, you have not read the posting guidelines. They specifically state that:

Each poster, when posting articles of animals or people hanging from high wires or antennas SHALL post a picture.

I can't believe that there has been no mention of cheese yet on this thread! What's wrong with everyone today? Beeber stuned?

[WildTurkey]

"The moose was alive when it was lowered to the ground but was later killed when officials from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game decided against tranquilizing it to remove the wires because they were worried the moose, already stressed, would die and the meat would not be salvageable as a result of the drugs." Now that is a case of government cooperating for the good of society.

"That's one heck of a meat pole," he quipped. "No bear is going to get that moose."

Best quote of the article.....

Here's how they did it in Erwin Tennessee

[Yardstick]

Thank you. Duh, what was I thinking?!

Seriesly. I thought everyone knew about Moose winching.

[LibWhacker]

LOL!

[LibWhacker]

Seen that before. They also electrocuted an elephant, didn't they? Maybe not in Erwin, but somewhere in the US. Almost sure I've seen a video of it. Different times, that's 'fer sure!

How about Them Moose Goosers,
Ain't they recluse?
Up in them boondocks,
Goosin' them moose.

Goosin' them huge moose,
Goosin' them tiny,
Goosin' them meadow-moose
In the hiney.

Look at Them Moose Goosers,
Ain't they dumb?
Some use an umbrella,
Some use a thumb.

Them obtuse Moose Goosers,
Sneakin' through the woods,
Pokin' them snoozy moose
In the goods.

How to be a Moose Gooser?
It'll turn ye puce.
Gitchy gooser loose and
Rouse a drowsy moose!

I check out DU now and then to see how the meds are taking, one guy has a pretty cute picture of a chipmunk taking a toke off a marihuanna pipe.

When you set wolf snares, its inevitable that your going to tangle up a moose or caribou every now and then. Usually caribou break the snare but often moose just stand there. Have had a few friends shoot moose in the process.

Have a tape of a friend cutting the snare with sidewinders on a moose and he had a camcorder in his left hand. It was a yearling and had the snare around his neck. The closer he got to moose, the more the moose growled and finally you see the front hooves coming at ya and then picture goes black and you hear my buddy take the hit and howl out in pain. Pretty good. Most moose don't fight the snare like caribou so there standing there dumbfounded when you get there.

The front hooves are nasty and quick, but the rear hooves can disable a pickup truck. I know moose are hanging around the back yard, but they haven't come out on the road so far this winter. Got a lone female woodpecker working the same stand of willow for a couple weeks now, and an owl acting ghostlike. One with Nature, etc.
