Guy has a 2000-lb bull moose he raised as a calf and uses him to haul logs and the moose seems to enjoy it. Fabulous story.
I wonder if you could sit in the bowl of his antlers.
That would be some ride. It looks like a throne.
Somebody needed to figure this one out in Pilgrim days 400 years ago. Sounds like the guy doesn't even keep the moose penned or even have to feed him other than providing the sweet salt lick, and just calls him over when he needs him for something. Kind of a poor-man's clydesdale or tractor, vastly stronger than any normal mule or horse.
Reminds me of the old bullock teams used in Aust for log haulage.
I've sent the pic on to the editor of a forestry magazine I subscribe to.
