Yup. Gotta do it right, and it's an art I'm told. Didn't make any off this moose, but did lots of roasts, steaks, burger, and sausage.

Angry Moose Brings Down Helicopter in Alaska
Wednesday, March 07, 2007
E-MAIL STORY PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A helicopter is not necessarily a match for an angry moose.
Instead of lying down after being shot with a tranquilizer dart, a moose charged a hovering helicopter used by a wildlife biologist, damaging the aircraft's tail rotor and forcing it to the ground.
Neither the pilot nor the biologist was injured, but the moose was maimed by the spinning rotor and had to be euthanized, wildlife officials said.
"It just had to be one of those quirky circumstance. Even dealing with bears and goats and moose and wolves, this is pretty unusual and truly a very unique situation," said Doug Larsen, regional supervisor for the Division of Wildlife Conservation.
Biologist Kevin White was aboard the chartered helicopter on Saturday for a study of moose near Gustavus, a community of 459 people about 50 miles northwest of Juneau in southeast Alaska.
Anchorage Moose outnumber humans there 2-to-1, White has written in an essay for the Department of Fish and Game Web site.
He shot the animal with a tranquilizer dart, Larsen said, and the pilot maneuvered the helicopter to keep the animal from slipping into a tight space or collapsing in water and drowning.
"The moose would start to move, and then the helicopter would back off and try to keep the moose out in the open," Larsen said.
But instead of moving toward open space, the moose charged the helicopter.
"As the animal got closer and closer to going down, an animal sort of loses its thinking — its ability to rationalize what's in its best interest," Larsen said.
Watch out for those angry Moose! LOL
Moose Trivia:
The plural of moose is "moose," not "meese", although the latter is sometimes jokingly used due to the fact that the plural of goose is "geese".
The moose test is a test for vehicles doing rapid cornering, based on steering to avoid crashing into elks/moose. An elk test conducted in Sweden was the embarrassing downfall of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class as the car rolled over and resulted in the A-Class being modified for better stability.
A moose can swim for up to two hours and as far as twelve miles at a speed of up to 10 km/h (6 mph).
Currently there are no elk in Denmark; but now and then elk swim from Skåne (Sweden) to Sjælland (Denmark). Usually the animal is killed by traffic - the last one by a train in 2000.
Several Norwegian municipalities have one or more elks in their coat-of-arms: Aremark, Namsos, Namsskogan, Ringsaker, Tynset.
According to the Life of Venerable Macarius of Unzha, the Saint and his companions were saved from starvation by the Miracle of the Moose (1439).
Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), a famous physicist and astronomer, had a pet elk that once got drunk and died when it fell down the stairs in his castle[5].
