The moose was alive when it was lowered to the ground, but Department of Fish and Game officials decided to kill it rather than tranquilize it before removing the wires.

Officials say they were worried the stressed moose would die and the drugged meat would not be salvageable.

Besides that...it was lunchtime!

Did this moose call out for someone named 'Rocky'? Was the guy who shot the moose a short guy named Boris? Just wondering.

I guess he won't be sister-biting any time soon.

"The meat was donated to a local resident, he said."

I understand that moose meat goes quite well with cheese.

Looks like he tried to climb the pole to hide from hunters and it didn't work.
