Fairbanks, AK. Crews 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 teed off!

@VeroniqueB99 Excuse my ignorance, please, but when you say a 60” moose, is that its height at the shoulder? Or is that the span of the antlers?

@grammasaurus No prob: It's the antler measurement: the spread (width) of a bull moose's antlers.
