Moose logging ?

Daren · November 27, 2007, 09:56:15 AM

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.

Coon · November 30, 2007, 09:45:06 PM

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

Furby · November 30, 2007, 10:05:36 PM

It's a seasonal thread just like a bunch of others.
You can have deja vu again next year.

Daren · November 30, 2007, 10:26:12 PM

Did I miss something last year ? Must have :

Furby · November 30, 2007, 10:33:02 PM

Between the moose logging AND the Oysters, we've gone through one at least every year. ;D

Jeff · November 30, 2007, 10:45:35 PM

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. ;)

Bro. Noble · November 30, 2007, 10:48:11 PM

You're going to go hungry if all you have to eat is oysters from a cow :D :D

Furby · November 30, 2007, 10:56:01 PM

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........

Again ? :-[. Well if it a tradition to bring it up every year, glad I could help keep tradition alive :D

OK, forget moose logging...how about mouse logging ?

Jeff · December 01, 2007, 01:42:56 PM

AH! Thats just down right perfect for the season there. :D

Jeff · December 01, 2007, 01:43:26 PM

He must be one of the 3 blind mice. He aint got no eyes.

Coon · December 01, 2007, 02:03:30 PM

Mustn't be a mouse Must be a DanGed mole. :D :D

Jeff · December 01, 2007, 02:53:58 PM

I took it into photo shop and gave it eyes and it turned it into a monkey.
