The regulations for Moose catching say you need to be from Pottsylvania, be escorted by a tall dark haired female spy and use a flying squirrel with a bomber hat and goggles for a decoy.

What you do is drive your truck backwards down the highway early in the morning or late at night, turn your headlights off, and mount two high-power flashlights on either side of the bed. The moose will then think that is the front of the vehicle and, as moose love to do, will jump out into the road and onto the vehicle. However, the moose will unknowingly have jumped into the bed of the truck instead of on the hood, where you can then reach out the back window and pop it on the head, knocking it out cold.

The only time I saw a stupid moose is when someone did'nt have a tag for one, get a tag in your pocket and they can be pretty damn smart to nowhere to be found. As far catchin one no thanks they can be down right b!@$#y.

Although we actually have Moose in central Mass,( I encountered one last fall) there is no hunting season for moose here yet and moose are soo huge, If I did get a moose tag (they suddenly became legal chase) I have no idea how I would get it out of the swamp, much less how I'd get it to the tagging station. However should such an event occur it would be a whole years meat, or nearly so. I love animals, especially roasted or fried

Obviously written by a fisherman. Catch and release is doubtful, though some readers might assume otherwise.

Hey Chad, is that a Oklahoma "Sooner" joke?

Sooner or later you get it??

Speaking of Oklahoma, think I'm going to go ahead and buy a None Resident Hunting License to hunt my own land this year. Went down a couple of weeks ago, and found several heavy monster rubs and scraps, the bears and turkeys are back in there!

How exactly do you catch a moose? Easy...

Go north and find a large pond in moose country,
Cut a hole in the ice and line the edge of the hole with peas,
Then when the moose comes up to take a pea, kick him in the ice hole.

In all seriousness, I've found moose to be as tasty as they are goofy. But hey, who needs to be elusive when you're that big and intimidating?

That is something some of the none hunters say. Just about everytime I come back from a hunting trip some of the ladies at work ask me if I caught anything. They are probably just confusing hunting with fishing. I have seen a large Alaskan bull moose run across muskeg and he was really picking them up and putting them down. I was in a UH1 and had a birds eye view. Also watched a large cow go completely under water for a count of 10 and come up with a mouth full of water lillies. Yes the can run like heck in stuff you can't walk through. Moose have great hearing and sense of smell too.

Del is right. It is actually quite common for non-hunters to use those words. But I don't think it is because of any confusion between hunting and fishing. They just can't think of a better word for it. They can't bring themselves to say "kill", or even "shoot" because is sounds so violent and hostile.
That's just my take on it.
