Sitting here at my desk just now when a terrible racket arose at the back corner of the house... Enough to force me to take a look. Moose tracks crossing the deck were the first clue and made me step lightly when looking around the corner of the house... Sure enough a huge cow and yearling calf were in the backyard looking for lunch...

But the gate... chainlink, and very ordinary explained the noises... It must not have been opening fast enough for the old gal and it took some serious abuse! Wads of moose hair are everywhere. I did not check for blood yet... Will wait until they move on... just because.

I will take the camera out and take a few photos and post them when I return with a card reader later today...
