Yea, I said moose logging :D http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_work_moose_in_harness.htm
Seems to be a spoof, think it will catch on? I came across this picture on a Google image search, I just had to read the story behind it.

The first picture was a fake, but there are more pictures out there of working moose teams.

Strange things go on in the great white north. Joe
Hey those aren't moose those are rubber nosed swamp donkeys. :D :D :D Yup I got some old pics in one of the history books where they used em just like they did with horses. They claim they are way better in snow too.
Could you imagine being anywhere near that bull when he went into rut? Your logs would end up 20 miles away and moving fast toward the nearest cow in heat.
A little minor surgery could eliminate that problem. ;D
MINOR !?!? ::) :D
John Connell, a guide outfitter from the Bartibog area, used Tommy the moose as a pack horse and to haul a small sled until he was shot in his pasture. :-\ I have some pictures in 'Men of the Autumn Woods' of Tommy. ;D
minor surgery is what they do on someone else.
Couldn't be any worse than cutting a horse or cow. Anyone for some "Oysters of the Great White North"? :D :D :D
I tink Im havin dejavu all over agin
It's a seasonal thread just like a bunch of others.
You can have deja vu again next year. :)
Did I miss something last year ? Must have ::)
Between the moose logging AND the Oysters, we've gone through one at least every year. ;D
Thats OK, at least this one gives ya a warm and fuzzy feeling and makes swamp donkey feel loved. Unlike the twentieth time for the V8 chainsaw and the inevitabe times it will appear again.
I wonder if we will see the dam beave letter story before the end of da year.
Dont take this wrong Daren. If ya think we might be pickin on ya.... Its because we are. ;)
You're going to go hungry if all you have to eat is oysters from a cow :D :D
You were wondering about the dam beaver story too eh. ;D
I did forget about the V-8, thanks for reminding me. ::) ::) ::)
This one just popped up again as well:
Diary Of A Snow Shoveler
I can only find one other post of it from 2004, but I know it's on here under a different name at least once more. ;D
Life is simply one big circle........ :)

Did ya eat them all in one sitting? :D
:o
I think he cannot eat chocolates, being upside down. ::) :D
