My home vandalized....
 

by a bull moose. I saw his "date", but never saw him. My poor poor tree.

The bastard!!!

Damn, that's more destructive than flyman's crazy skwerlz! :D

Are those poops in the 3rd picture?

That's a hell of a lot of poops.

Okay, I'm not Alaska-savvy and have never seen a bull moose. My guess is they're large antlered mooses. Is this a common occurrence for a bull moose to do something like this? And what does one do when one encounters a bull moose in such a rage? I'm fascinated, really. I can deal with possums, armadillos and the neighbor's dog, but this is so new to me. Please add to the story.

your home is a tree?
are you a skwerl?

Nah...he's just skwerl...y. :D

Aw c'mon. Someone had to say it...

Don't they scrape their antlers against trees to basically shed what's on them? It's been a while since I've seen Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom...

That's a nice house in the background - -maybe you could live there?

Yeah, moose can get pretty big.

you remember marlin perkins?

I remember Marlin. He was my Sunday afternoon escape from boredom. :thumbsup: That and Tarzan, if I recall correctly.

Marlin was a little dry for me, but I had a huge crush on Ron Ely.

What did the trees ever do to the damn Moose!

Isn't that just what moose do in spring? To get stuff off of their antlers?

Maybe I'm wrong. I may be Canadian, but I've yet to have my "official moose incident"

If not, then maybe you once hurt his neighbourhood trees and he's just trying to get revenge!

like deer, moose scrape their antlers against trees to get the velvet covering off. it's an entirely normal and natural occurence. they just usually don't do it so close to someone's house.

btw, those trees will survive.

oh, and if the plural of goose is geese, why isnt the plural of moose, meese?
