Is a moose in rut more, or less likely to bite someone's sister? Or move someone's cheese? I'll be back to check for answers after my shower...

Are you referring to this snip? (I forgot to indicate the post was two snips of the article)

"And then there's the smell. Bulls will paw a rutting pit in the dirt a few inches deep and a foot or two wide. They'll urinate in it and splash the scent on their head, their antlers and on the dewlap (or bell) that hangs below their neck. It's full of capillaries that warm and disperse the urinary pheromones, which work somewhat like an incense burner."

I'm wondering if there's anything here that us El Solo Nacho (Lonely Cheese) Freepers could learn about courtship behavior.... on second thought, nevermind, maybe I'll just stick with my Hugo Boss cologne....

I saw one of those on TV the other day.......or at least I thought it was then it rolled over and I realized it was just Michael Moore all out of breath from chasing Cindy Sheehan. I think they called in the fire truck to hose him down and cool him off.......what a waste of water.

Not a single here, but I wouldn't mind watching the scene over the breach of my 58. Damn I love moose hide and the local shelter loves good meat.
