What about elk?
 
2006-07-27 05:14:19 PM
Oh, well, that's whatcha get for not leaving someone there to guard the carcass while you hurry into town and get your moose permit.

I've never had moose. Is it any good?
 
2006-07-27 05:15:07 PM
lucky moose

i wish someone would shoot me and leave me on the side of the road for strangers to take home and do with my carcass whatever they want

/yeah im sick so what

Here in Tennessee they passed a law a few years ago saying that you could take home any animals that you hit and kill and eat them. Good old Tennessee...
 
2006-07-27 05:16:12 PM
Of course someone took it.

/ Maybe someone visiting from Alaska.

What the hell is a Piggly-Wiggly?

Is my lexicon that lacking?
 
2006-07-27 05:17:42 PM
Why not load it with dynamite and blow it up?

It worked for these guys.
 
2006-07-27 05:18:03 PM
Eewwwwwww!! To eat it?!!! Aaaaaaaaarggggggghhhhh!
 
2006-07-27 05:18:28 PM
Yeah... that's one thing I remember about living in Conn., if you hit a deer, you could take it for meat. However, if you hit a dog, you'd have to report it to the police, otherwise you'd go to jail...

A moose once bit my sister.

Piggly-Wiggly, Safeway, Brookshires, you know a Grocery Store. Opps, I mean a Grocery Store in the South. Where else with a name like that.

Rumor has it that moose is quite tasty. Before I met my wife, her father drew a moose permit and got one. She tells me that it is better than venison.

So I'm not the only one who's been to ideepthroat.com...
 
2006-07-27 05:19:39 PM

2006-07-27 05:19:48 PM
Bet someone hit it because it bit their sister.

Mind you, moose bites can be mighty nasty.
 
2006-07-27 05:20:30 PM
No Piggly-Wigglies or Krogers in Conn., either... Just Stop & Shop and ShopRite everywhere, and the occasional A&P.
 
2006-07-27 05:20:49 PM
you take your chainsaw, instead of bar oil you use vegtable oil and bam, slice and dice into movable parts...

Why anyone would want to eat a random dead animal is beyond my understanding. It's one thing to bag a healthy animal and cook it up but random dead animal is something for the vulchers and their concrete stomachs. It could have been sick and wandered on to the road, who knows. Have fun with those diseases.
 
2006-07-27 05:22:13 PM
Mmmmm. Bloodshot Connecticut moose. Tastes like chicken.
 
2006-07-27 05:23:23 PM
Score one for the little guys.

I think we're gonna need a bigger boat.
 
2006-07-27 05:23:25 PM
"No one had permission to take it. Our goal was to look at its general condition and gain its biological data,"

Ummm, fark you?

"It is illegal to remove a turkey, moose or bear from the road. A deer can be taken by the driver of the vehicle that strikes it after an incident report is filed with the state."

Um, fark you again?

You leave 500 pound of food on the side of the road to waste, and say "Not yours"
 
2006-07-27 05:25:32 PM
Piggly-Wiggly was the first grocery store. At least that's what the sign in the Pink Palace told me.

Opps, sorry I had a couple of pics of a moose that totaled my rental a few years back. Here are links, Beware dead moose ahead:

Some Guy from Colarado Wrote:
"I've never had moose. Is it any good?"

Moose meat rocks. It is my favorite wild meat and nobody can cook it like my Cree Grandma could. It is not as tangy as deer and isn't as rich as elk. I suggest that if you eat elk, you do not get in to a small truck with another guy who has eaten elk - you'll gas yourselves to death.
My Grandma used to make us a dessert of moose meat pemmican with sugar sprinkled on top. But this was back in the day when on the rez all you could get for candy was TANG juice crystals.
When I used to hitchhike in northern Manitoba, I wasn't afraid of wolves or bears (although there are plenty), I was afraid of moose during rutting season. If you get caught by a moose during rutting season you'll walk funny for the rest of your life.

I read that as mouse
and thought we had bigger problems than leaving the carcass

So now we've got moose in Connecticut. farking wonderful. The deer are bad enough. I wonder how long before the herd expands to fill the whole state.

I don't know why anyone would want to risk eating a wild deer, by the way - they have a variant of CJD(aka Mad Cow), I believe.

There is this restaurant, in the next town over in Cornwall Bridge. Right next to the Cornwall Bridge. There's a chick who waitresses there. She wears a wedding ring. I don't think she's married. I think she wears it to drive me crazy. Because she's hot.

Good god, man... how did you walk away from that? All that moose, so close up...
 
2006-07-27 05:31:05 PM
baby_hewey: Where else with a name like that.

There's a Piggly Wiggly about 10 blocks from my house in Wisconsin. They are all over the state, and I've seen plenty in Illinois, too. They kind of suck compared to Pick and Save or Jewel.

I've never had moose. Is it any good?


my hovercraft is full of eels
 
2006-07-27 05:32:13 PM
Huh, a breeding population there? Wonder if they are expected to spread around any?

I was afraid of moose during rutting season. If you get caught by a moose during rutting season you'll walk funny for the rest of your life.

I'll have to try that sometime.

Dogs are property, deer are game...or vermin if you're my stepfather.

Why wouldn't you eat it? It's already been tenderized by a Buick.
 
2006-07-27 05:35:52 PM
You know, I've seen several dead foxes along the side of the road around here and I've been tempted to stop and toss them in my trunk.

One of those days was a bit after 9/11 when they were doing (illegal) random searches around the capitol and I drew the luck card so they had the dog sniff my car. I still wonder how I would have explained the dead fox in my trunk... Bet I would have ended up on fark.

Well, I was lucky as lucky gets. Most of the moose was up and to the right. Now I did look like those Zombies that were arrested from that other thread, blood everywhere, but not a scratch once I was cleanedup. When the cop came up he was sure that there was a dead body in the front seat under the moose, but all I had was some bruses from the Air bag. Here are the other two pics of the car and my little friend:

It's a toss up whether random roadkill is any more dangerous than your steak. At least the moose hasn't been saturated with artificial estrogen hormones and antibiotics or fed bits of ground up cow. Also, parasites and other diseases are killed by heat -- so just don't eat your roadkill raw.

Would you settle for a tranq-gun?

I live in the sticks in South Jersey, and when there is a fresh dead deer on the side of the road people will actually fight and argue over who gets it. One time a guy was chopping one up on the side of the road and handing peices to other people. I personally have no desire to eat road-kill, but it is probably better than just letting it rot.The vultures get pretty aggressive.

from TFA

It is illegal to remove a turkey, moose or bear from the road. A deer can be taken by the driver of the vehicle that strikes it after an incident report is filed with the state.

wtf's up with the turkey?
 
2006-07-27 06:05:23 PM
I have plenty of turkies in my backyard everyday, they eat the birdseed. During hunting season you can bag some big turkies.They live in the woods next to my house and they don't shut the hell up.
 
2006-07-27 06:06:01 PM
And thats in new jersey
