Stupid elk.

Another clumsy attempt at elk camouflage.

Here we have an elk trying to convince everyone he’s a John Deer tractor.

Hey! Elk boy!

You got to paint yourself green.

Some years back, there was that moose that got its antlers tangled in a power line a crew was stringing along a stretch of towers.

I think the neck was broken when the crew took up the slack to tension and finish. The moose got hauled up way off the ground.

Searching in the sun for another moose hanging on a power line.

Remakes are never as good as the originals.

This seems to be a rare opportunity to link to that internet classic, “Dogs in Elk.”

https://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~hays/humor/dogs_in_elk.html

It begins:

Anne V; “ Okay - I know how to take meat away from a dog. How do I take a dog away from meat? This is not, unfortunately, a joke.”

Amy C; “Um, can you give us a few more specifics here?”

Anne V; “They’re inside of it. They crawled inside, and now I have a giant incredibly heavy piece of carcass in my yard, with 2 dogs inside of it, and they are NOT getting bored of it and coming out. One of them is snoring. I have company arriving in three hours, and my current plan is to 1. put up a tent over said carcass and 2. hang thousands of fly strips inside it. This has been going on since about 6:40 this morning.”

I am glad that the poor elk was finally released from the misery of the swing. It must have been both painful and terrifying.

Oh!

No!

That’s not a moose!

THAT’S A REINDEER!!!

Santa: “Rudolph! Rudolph! Speak to me Rudolph!”

Rudolph: “How about pulling back on the stick a little earlier next time?”

Nah, reindeer like oil pipelines.

(And I bet they taste better than moose!)

Had to do it...

how about trying to get a yogurt cup off a squirrel’s head?

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/video-catches-connecticut-rescue-squirrel-cup-stuck-to-head/

One of the worst animal stories though, years ago a friend came home one day to an awful smell. We’re talkin’ really bad here..

Started looking around and found out a skunk had died under her front porch...she didn’t have much company for a few weeks...
