That's really sad to see a moose in that condition. They found many moose in MN had a terrible tick infestation in a survey that was done. They felt this was a contributing factor to so many dying.


If someone tears down the American flag and puts another flag in its place, that person should get a free, mandatory one way trip to that country.

Yes, they found dead moose covered with thousands of ticks in MN.

shoulda put a tracker on the moose to get the skull when it passes


The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.
