"They were laying new power cables which were strung on the ground for miles.
The moose are rutting right now and very agitated. 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. They noticed excess tension in the lines and went searching for the problem.
He was still alive when they lowered him to the ground. He was a huge 60 inch bull and slightly peeved!"
Cheers, Vince

Even thought he is big Vince, that moose must be pretty young.
I used to get that same "electrical" feeling when I was younger and in "rut"
just like that moose.
Now days, I just thrash around a little, and a couple of drops of cold water even ends the thrashing.
I WILL say though that I am still "well hung" just like that moose.

Maybe he was trying a little "advertising" to get the cows' attention!

Now that is the way to hunt moose and bighorns. Take care...
