Moose Heads
FOUND by Harley Smart
in Victoria, BC, Canada
I came across a water damaged photoalbum while rummaging around a demolished house. There where a number of photos illustrating what a fun the time the guy had had, out hunting moose with his buddies.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
It's probably not as much fun as the guy would have had aerial wolf-hunting...
thats a find and a half in my book. good story. wonder if they were squatters?
I hope they left the entrails for the squirrels. Those are some good eats!
@ huntress: is that you, sarah palin?
this is sick. you decide the context of my word choice.
Looks like it wasn't as much fun for the moose (meese?). I hope at least they gralloched the moose for eating, and didn't just take the heads to have them mounted, leaving the rest behind.
Aww...Bullwinkle, we hardly knew ye!
Awwwwww...I hate to see slaughtered (any kind) animals...although I've tried moose meat sews, and roasts.
T'is a treat...but?
Anyhoo, it hurts my eyes to see those *Rib Cages* and *Heads* just sitting there...*Tears*
I guess *Hunters* like to save as a trophy?
I know here, in Ontario, hunting season is almost here, however, if hunting up on Manitoulin Island which is prime ground for game, the hunter's MUST have a license and are only allowed one moose per.
I wonder what the rest of the pics looked like?
^^STEW^^
i can't even look at this. Holly, its like that everywhere in Ontario, not just Manitoulin.
I hear ya', MONA...I don't like looking at it, either.
Good to know the *Hunting Rules* applies to all of Ontario.
Thanks, hun...
Sarah's apparently a much better shot than Cheney any day.
Honestly, hunting is loads more humane than the places all the packaged meat you eat comes from. There were probably at least three guys and therefore three moose.
I agree it is a little creepy to see disembodied moose heads just layin' on the ground like that, though.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Why do these images seem more disturbing than moose (or any other animal) heads on the wall of somebody's home?
I have to admit, though, my parents do have a deer mounted on the wall of their living room... It's been there since before I was born.
ugh, this is frightening...it kinda looks like the moose heads are on fire.
Moose heads, moose heads
Rolly polly moose heads.
Moose heads, moose heads
Eat them up, yum!
HA!!! John beat me to it!! (it was all I could come up with, too.)
The other thought that popped into my head was anti fourth of july. but we're not going to post a link to that one here, are we? No, we are not. anyone who wants to can just search it here at Found though.
HeeeeeeeeHaaaawwwww! Good times.
Go on and do the second verse, Chrome. You know you want to.
M-I-C (See you soon.)
K-E-Y (Why? Because we LIKE you.)
M-O-O-S-Eeeee
Relax. They just ran into some quicksand.
I have nothing against hunting. I agree that it's likely more humane than keeping animals and killing them. (especially chickens, they've got it bad. At least cows get to stay outside.)
Wild animals have at least been able to live a real life for a while. I just don't do it myself, and don't like looking at the results of said hunting.
This just doesn't look right, without some skeezy little tramp straddling one of the moose's heads while her inbred boyfriend flips it the bird.
A couple of dead moosen.
BTW
Moosenheads are never seen drinking capuccino in Italian restaurants...
(Nightingale, this is the 2nd time in half an hour I've sung this one:
M-I-C..
(see you in HElllllll!)
K-E-Y..
(Why? Because you're an AaaassssWhole!!)
)-U-S-O-B!!!
(referee.. referee.. ahh highschool mem'ries.)
I took a moosehead
on vacation to Boca
had to pay full price
to get it a seat!
Moose heads, moose heads
(some of the worst beer I've sampled
but on the other hand, Moose Drool's good.)
@Chrome: How could I have forgotten about Moose Head beer, even after my first comment??? I drank it in college. I've had Moose Drool, too! Have you ever had Horse Piss? It's not bad.
Why does my crotch itch?
Gross. So barbaric. It's cruel and disgusting enough that they're having 'fun' slaughtering innocent animals in their natural habitats...but to take photographs to memorialize the carnage? That takes a truly sick and deranged person.
I love seeing moose in the wild!
I do NOT like seeing their carcasses slumped on the ground.
Twisted.
Did many of you know that when you're out hiking in the north woods and come across a pile of malted milk balls on the trail, that they're NOT malted milk balls ... they're moose droppings? There's an uncanny resemblance. At least visually. I didn't linger to try out any other sense impressions.
Just thought I should share that.
Librarian--I noticed the same thing...also, elk droppings look just like Milk Duds...
food for thought!
@ John: I must say.. I have not had Horse Piss. (unless you're referring to good old Budweiser, aka Clydesdale piss.. which I only drink in the event of an emergency- like we're stranded in the snow at the cabin and all there is is Bud or Bud Light because we went through the ESB in the first two days.)
Librarian, your caveat about malted milk balls reminds me of what HAD to have been a Cheech and Chong skit.. "look like dog shit, smell like dog shit, feel like dog shit, taste like dog shit, must be dog shit. good thing we dont step in it!
Yeah (retch) good thing!
I don't know much about wild game, but these moose (mooses? meese? Edwin?) look young to me- their antlers are very small in comparison to thier head sizes.
Look out, everyone.. brain problem has a situation ... it's..(come on, everyone, say it with me!)
Panty Crickets!
(oh the classics! The alltime greatest hits of FoundMagazine. Don't you just LOVE this place?)
I think Meesen lose their antlers and regrow them every year; maybe that's why they're so small? Or maybe that's elk. Elks. Elksen.
Well... dang. Made the mistake of watching 9/11 footage this morning, and it made my heart all hurty and tender again, then this picture... I'm going back to bed. Or, I would if I didn't have to earn an income. In my head, I'm back in bed.
A few years ago when I visited relatives in Maine, my sister and I drove around in the evening until we found some moose. Mooses. Meese. Moosen. I got quite close to one, and her eyes were SO beautiful, long lashes - what a pretty, pretty animal. This is killin' me here. You can talk all you want about how much more humane hunting is - it won't make my heartache any better.
re: the beer - How can you tell if someone's had Moosehead?
The antler bruises on their thighs.
I'm disappointed to hear these details of moose/elk droppings. You'd think creatures of such impressive size would be able to produce craps more impressive in size than movie theater candy. If I were to happen upon moose poop, I would be satisfied with nothing less than an exact replica of a 9"x12" double layer chocolate birthday cake.
Me thinks this was a Moose College fraternity pledge prank gone awry. I think the little moose pledges had too much Canadian Moonshine and woke up to find themselves buried neck deep on the lawn of the college. I'm just sayin' is all......
Ask a
Moosehead
anything you want to
they won't answer
they can't
talk!
I'm gonna have that freakin song stuck in my head all day
The meese are wanting the foodsen in the woodesen.
Malted milk balls - eat them up yummm.
My first thought when I saw this was Sarah Palin. Yuk. Panty crickets indeed.
Holy cow- did you all know that Billy Mumy was half of Barnes and Barnes? Niiiice!
I had a potluck party at my house a couple of weeks ago and one guy brought moose stew. His brother had killed the moose and distributed the meat amongst his family. I'm just happy it didnt't come from a meat plant what with all the listeriosis!
@ you can still rock ... maybe the moose heads aren't small, maybe the woods are large
Are those moose ribcages in the background? What I wouldn't give for a delicious rack of moose.
librarian..... in which case their antlers would still look smallish to me, in comparison to their head sizes.......
@ sister chicken ... ummmm, somebody help me out here!
Can anyone tell me what the black box with the wires is next to the heads?
I used to be a vegetarian, strict even, but I never lost my desire to eat meat. On principle; I thought it was wrong, as I love, love, love animals, but one day, I could take it no longer, and broke weak, indulging in rare roast beef. Now I eat all varieties, but I rely on someone else to kill them and butcher them. I respect hunters who can do this, because I can't, but I would if I could.
Oh, sorry, I thought this was Post Secret for a moment...
Wonder what slow-cooked rack of moose ribs tastes like? Anyone?
@brain problem: I'm sure it tastes just like chicken.
The black box is the flight recorder.
Now this:
Must kill moose and squirrel!
Whatever that black thing is, it looks like it has a blue power cord plugged into an electrical outlet at the end of a black extension cord. I hate to say it, but could it be an electric chain saw???
Mmmmm... squirrel gravy. Very good on biscuits. Delicious! Now I know what to make for dinner. Thanks alan.
Now that Flargy mentions it, I begin to think... cows are not as big as moose(s?), and they produce big splattery piles. So I wonder why a moose makes milk duds? What is it about them?
@brain problem: So, do you no longer think it's wrong? Or are you filled with guilt every time you consume the flesh of a being that would be alive were it not for your appetites? I'm just asking.
Dear Mr. Flargy from New Haven, CT,
You sure got a lot of expectations about wildlife dung for a guy from Connecticut. I gotta tell you, all this talk about moose poop is disgusting! Who cares if the moose’s stools are little round balls like Milk Duds or more like Raisinettes or Junior Mints? And a double layer chocolate birthday cake? What are ya tryin' to do, make me sick?! I mean, c’mon. I suppose you’d like that poor moose to plop out a perfect cake with swirly frosting on it and the words “Happy Birthday, Nana Moose” in fancy, schmancy pink lettering and 64 candles burning on top with the whole thing landing on Nana’s beautiful crystal cake stand. Thank you very much for ruining my enjoyment of chocolate, both at birthday parties and at the movies. And I don’t like Jujubees. It just goes to show you, it’s always something. If it’s not someone judgening you for what you eat, it’s someone grossing you out about what comes out the other end.
oh, Chrome, you beat me to it....
@ CURIOUS IN CHARLOTTE- Fabulous joke!!!!! The next belly-jiggler to tell my father when I see my parents on the 1st of October! LOL!
Thanks!
@ FLARGY- A twisted, bloody picture...both of them actually.
@ A GIRL IN A CUBE- Your parents have a *WHOLE* deer mounted on their wall??
Bambi???
OMGAWD!
LOL!
Breathe, Holly. Just breathe.
@not just another mouth... not everytime, but if I stop to think about it, yep.
@brain problem: I asked because I anticipate a day when I, too, decide to once again eat meat. I'm not judgening you about it. I just wondered how it feels.
It is late and everyone has gone to bed, I am assuming.
But..
Moosehead Soup (like Goat's Head Soup..that album the Stones put out with that lovely cover).
Just had to add that.
Sammy, I thought of Goat's Head Soup today, too. G'night.
@ RESPONDING- Awwww..does that bother you? That I care? Or is it because...I respond individually? Shall I do it on 1 post? Will that make you feel better?
Pft..
This picture looks Photoshopped to me, for obvious political purposes.
Moose heads, moose heads, roly poly moose heads.
Moose heads, moose heads, eat them up, yum.
@not just another mouth...
Yeah, when I look at cows and piggies and chickens I certainly don't feel detached. I see creatures that feel and think, maybe not like we feel and think, but, still...I hurt for them.
The way my body needed the meat, though, was definately beyond my control. I would dream of it, stand and stare at the meat counter, salivate when thinking of it or smelling it. No amount of beans or tofu could keep it in check. No iron pill could satisfy my cravings for rare roast beef. From there it was all down hill. Fried chicken, bacon, sausage gravy, the artery clogging goodness of it all. Though, I weighed more as a vegetarian than as an omnivore. And my cholesterol was higher, because I was on the pill.
Okay, enough. This is Found, not some forum on vegetarianism. I did it for 10+ years, how many animals did that save?
Meat. Yum.
You're a carnivore.
Accept it.
Own it.
No guilt required.
I think it all began with those "sacrifices" to "god" in the "new testament" Damn, but those freakin' bbqs smelled awesome.. who could help themselves from taking.. just.. a little sample. Who cares if it was all for the one true god?
We're all damned to the depths of hell.
May be goin' to hell in a bucket, baby.
But at least I'm enjoyin' the ride.
(ride, ride. 'least I'm enjoyin' the ride.)
@dotto do do do: There are no sacrifices to God in the New Testament, since the sacrificial system fell into disuse after the destruction of Solomon's temple, which happened way before the end of the Old Testament. Be a little surer of your facts before you deride.
When I was driving through Glacier Park in Montana with a friend, a moose like these stuck his head all the way in my window and wanted treats. He had a beautiful soft velvet on his antlers.
P.S. What is that red stuff in the background? Are those rib cages? Ick...
yeah yeah yeah. I knew that Orinoco- just grabbed the wrong word. pardon my faux pas.
thanks though
(for being such a condescending jerk.)
Feelings are mutual...
I lost this picture.
that is absolutely disgusting... and disturbing. poor mooses.
