Pogo Moose Incident - Fairbanks, Alaska. Crews were laying new power cables which were strung on the ground for miles. The moose are rutting right now and very agitated. He was thrashing around and got his antlers stuck in the cables. When the men (miles away) began pulling the lines up with their big equipment, the moose went up with them. They noticed excess tension in the lines and went searching for the problem. He was still alive when they lowered him to the ground. He was a huge 60 inch bull and slightly teed off!

I will bet he was PO.d Hopefully he had only minor damage and not too scared.
I see a law suit coming from that moose. Traumatized for sure.

I have one question. How did they choose the guy to untangle the moose, ask for volunteers or draw straws?
