I think they're pretty cool! I was just busy reading

It is cool to see the size difference between the horse and the moose!
We (city though we are) have TWO taxidermists on our local square. The one store had a really cool mount of a stump with a stringer of HUGE bass hanging from it.

That is really neat. And a good job. I never realized how big a moose was. Ive seen deer and elk. But not a moose.

I have a question about the whole moose horse scene. Is the other moose antler strapped to the horse? Is the moose suppose to be attacking the horse because it has a moose antler strapped to it? And is that a bear in the background?
OK - its more than one question. But inquiring minds need to know.
Its also pretty cool.

It depicts the rare (though it does occur) instance, where a moose hunter on horseback has one of his string charged (and usually killed) by a rutting bull.2dream said:I have a question about the whole moose horse scene.

The moose rack is part of a harvested moose for the freezer.
A bit back in my journal, I posted pics of the moose hunt DH went on, on horse back.
Oh, yes that is a black bear skin on the wall
its common for hunters to rug their best hides, even though its a meat hunt.

This reminded me of a story about DH's grandfather and his brother coming home from a dance one evening in Maine. As their (brand new!) Model T came over the hill, the lights picked out a bull moose standing in the road. Car came to a halt and humans looked at moose. Moose looked at car and gave a snort. The two men bailed out of the car as the moose charged, hit the car and pushed it back up the hill and over the embankment. Those suckers are BIG and STRONG!
