1041.0. "Another moose on the loose...." by JUPITR::BJUBINVILLE (I TOO AM THE NRA) Mon Sep 30 1991 10:18

       Moose and Deer in the rutt early and in Central Mass...  Last week
    we had the moose that was shot in the Boston area.  Another moose was
    hit and killed by a car over on Belmont St. in Worc. Ma.  (How could 
    you not see a moose?)  There was a deer stuck and killed on Rt. 290
    near Rt 140.  All weekend there was a moose coming through my home
    town of Leicester. It was around Becker College Friday, my parents
    property Sat. and Sun. moring it was trying to cross the Mass Pike
    near N. Oxford.  The Enviromental Police and Town cops were tracking
    up to the Mass Pike when a motorist stopped and was going near it
    and it jumped back into the woods.  They were still looking for it 
    Sun. night.

1041.1Starting early too.CSOA1::VANDENBARKMon Sep 30 1991 14:2211
    The cold snap last week got the whitetails going crazy here in Ky. too.
    I have seen 5 deer dead on the roads in the last 3 days, 2 were bucks,
    one was a whopper.  I went scouting again Sat. and found an area that
    had about 30 rubs and 5 big scapes.  That buck had the entire are tore
    all to pieces.  If the cool weather holds out, I think it is going to
    be a good opener(OCt 1).
    
    We don't have any Moose here, I did see a what I thought was a moose,
    but it turned out to be a fat chick that needed to shave her legs.

1041.8cooking on the manifold...BTOVT::REMILLARD_KWed Oct 09 1991 16:256
    
    Did you get to keep the animal?
    
    For all that damage a few steaks would seem appropriate.

RE: the last couple,

 Yes I had the option of keeping the moose but seeing as I wasn't thinking 
too clearly at the time I gave it to the cop that did the report with the 
understanding that I get the rack.

 Seeing as I was the second car to hit it and after seeing how much it had been
"tenderized" plus being 0600 in the morning and not having any idea how to get 
it to someplace to be cut up *or* who to call, how to get it off the road,,
etc, etc I figured letting the cop handle it was the best way to go.

 The first car that hit it, the moose trashed his front end, came up over the 
hood, took out the windshield and flattened the roof. I came along about 20
seconds after the first guy hit it and he told me he saw it trying to get up
just as I hit it.

 I never even saw it. (If I did I don't remember it) :-)
