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 I dunno about that. I kinda suspect a lot of lady moose were laughing at him for a while. Not gonna be a good rutting season for him, maybe.

Show threadYvonne ‘looks undocumented’Jul 6
@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?
Show threadVeeJul 6
@grammasaurus No prob: It's the antler measurement: the spread (width) of a bull moose's antlers.

[Look... the comments in this thread are far too 'clean', so I'm here to dirty them up a bit.]

Of course the bull moose was "teed off" once lowered to the ground. Look at the photo: he's happy.

He's high, and he's just been pulled while he's horny.

[Yes, I know they're antlers...
... but my double 'double entendre' joke doesn't work otherwise.]
