Moose back photos? Anyone?

[Dave Wermuth]

Awhile back I seem to recall a discussion and photo of someone riding moose back. Paddle up and jump on.

A friend of mine actually did it years ago and I'd sure like to show him a photo of the past time.

Take a look at the open forum for 2-2-06, The Sport of Moose Stepping . . .

There are a couple of old photos there.

Thanks

Hi Greg, thanks. that's the thread. My friend Emory Clark did it on a trip once and describes it in his journal. I'll see if I can copy it here later. and I hope to save/print the photos and give to Emory. His moose got tired so Emory got off and climbed back into his OT and paddled away before reaching shore. A good thing, I think. He said that a moose's back is much less comfortable than that of a horse. An assessment i can accept without having to prove for myself.

I agree -- there are some things best taken on faith.

trying to attach.

Thanks for the photos. I am trying to attach files of Emory's journal titled, "Lucy's Log". I hope it works and is enjoyed.

Is this some northern variation of the time honored southern sport of cow tipping?

Here are some interesting images for your viewing pleasure from back in the goode old days of moose and men.

Hey Beaver,

I 1st pics, is that another of the early Ely team, I think owned by someone named Cashman (or similar). If so, pics of his team have got around.


I'm pretty sure that the one posted on a Gunflint resort web site is another, it's attached.
