HOly holy CRAP! You know, my brain simply is not able to wrap itself around how bloody damn huge Moose are. It
startles me every single time. Go to Cabelas or Sportsman's and same thing - I can remember "ok, remember now, Moose are HUGE" but still.... I come around a display and see those Moose and AGAIN am startled ! Every time.
Is it true that in Washington you can only take 1 Moose in your lifetime? A good friend of mine who has been hunting since he was about 3 (I have seen the photos... a pronghorn with antlers that appeared to be bigger around than the little boy's arms) said that he isn't terribly comfortable hunting something that will regularly hold its ground verses a train. Then again, he is almost exclusively a bow hunter nowadays.
Also, "NWT" = Northwest Territories in Canada??
And finally, we've decided that this year when we do our "hero photos" with Grouse or Pheas we are going to mimic that photostyle and see if we can make the birds look like pterodactyls. The question will be... should we have the dogs back with us, or up and huge with the birds??

Thanks!
