HAVE YOU SEEN MY MOOSE?

    Without the picture, this would be hard to  believe.
       Pogo Moose Incident - Fairbanks , Alaska   
"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!"

Have heard the story recounted before.  Saw a written recount once from some Alaska agency or another and, unfortunately, there is a "rest of the story."  Animal was so agitated when brought down and so difficult to get disentangled from the mess created that it had to be put down.
