Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, the horror. The horror.

I think I'm blind.

this is all pretty dumb. I am delirious and cannot be held responsible for my actions!

I'm pretty sure I've seen one of these in northern Wisconsin. He had a white paper triangle on his head, kind of like it was photoshopped...but it wasn't. No REALLY!

I didn't know they had been seen in Wisconsin too, was it halloween? Maybe a young moose out trick or treating as a unicorn? Been known to happen.

Those teenage moose are a menace. They get into the bogberry wine and all inhibitions fly out the window!

They are quite strong and menacing too, and VEGETARIAN no less.

Gordo said...

Vegetarian or not, they're still huge and dangerous when annoyed.

Algonquin Provincial Park, here in Ontario, used to have a display of photographs of cars that had hit moose in the park. In about 70% of cases, the moose walked away. Every single car was a write-off.

I see someone had too much time on his hands... Either that, or you're brainstorming on a new idea for a pot!

The question, Abigail, is easily answered in the post above...sometimes people are not feeling well and they see bizarre animals wandering through their yard.
Gordo, we had moose wandering around our old place in New Hampshire and they are tough and menacing at times. My neighbor shot one and it was this huge thing strung up in the yard. Yuck.

Hmmmm...too many hot rum toddies? You're cut off!
This guy looks like he's actually smiling! He's an icon for Canada so maybe he just smiles for me...oh, and Gordo too!
A friend of mine hot a moose in Algonquin Park, went through the windshield and almost died. 50 stitches!

I have never seen a moose. My parents almost hit one once and I was in the back seat but it was dark and I didn't see him.

gary rith said...

I have seen quite a few---around Lake Superior, around our house in NH and even when we lived OUTSIDE OF BOSTON and they would wander around.
Mother of: well, yes, I did try the Scottish cure in the evening, which has not been of help this morning.

When I was 13, on one of the Campbell Family extended camping vacation extravaganzas, I got within 10 feet of a docile grazing cow moose at Yellowstone park. She was calmly eating grass and watching the dozen or so people gawking.

Even closer on a high school canoe trip to Algonquin Park. Simply awe-inspiring creatures.
