Pogo Moose Incident - Fairbanks, Alaska

"They were laying new power cables which were strung on the ground for miles. The moose are rutting right now and very agitated. He was thrashing around and got his antlers stuck in the cables. When the men (miles away) began pulling the lines up with their big equipment, the moose went up with them. They noticed excess tension in the lines and went searching for the problem. He was still alive when they lowered him. to the ground. He was a huge 60 inch bull and slightly peeved !"

That's one hell of a high wire act.

It'a a great story- I don't believe it... Miles of cable like that has to weigh in the neighborhood of 100 tons, they wouldn't notice 1,000 extra pounds being lifted...

Of course- removing that portion of the story, I'd be prone to believe that they were checking the lines to make sure they were all in place when they came across this guy.
