The one thing I remember was the head lights shining in the Elk's eyes as he stared at us just before he bolted away while I was slamming on the brakes going down hill on black ice in the fog pulling a trailer.
August 2010 I hit a jeep on my kawi Nomad that hit a very young bull moose.... I skidded 85.5 feet before i made contact and the math says I needed 111 feet... Wrecked my ft fender, but that was it...
I was on the brakes before the jeep hit the moose. It was about 10 pm and dark, so I was following rules I made for me about night riding and not passing vehicles a head of me..
I misjudged... When a moose stops a vehicle, that vehicle stops Right Now. The 2 guys inside the jeep cherokee lucked out too, as the air bag didn't go off.... If it had it would have broken their necks which is typical of moose crash victims.
Air temp that night was around 98 still, and the cops ended up shooting the moose in swamp water.. So I wasn't hot to have the meat, sinew hide etc etc.. Had it been colder........ I use sinew for sewwing, backing bows and I use hides for all sorts of things... mocs to coats everything.. Bones too...
"two Boulder police officers were arrested Friday after investigators say texts between the officers revealed they planned the trophy kill almost a day in advance of the actual shooting...[They] were booked on suspicion of forgery, tampering with physical evidence, attempting to influence a public official -- all felonies -- as well as unlawful taking of a trophy elk, conspiracy, a Samson surcharge, killing an elk out of season, unlawful use of an electronic device to unlawfully take wildlife and first degree official misconduct -- all misdemeanors.
Carter told police the day after the shooting that he encountered an elk while on patrol...that he said was injured and needed to be put down. Carter then shot the animal with a shotgun, and Curnow -- who was off-duty -- came to pick up the carcass...Carter did not report the incident or notify his supervisors he fired his weapon that night, though he told investigators he called in the incident and did not know why dispatch did not have any record of it, according to the affidavit.
But according to an arrest affidavit, cell phone records obtained from phone carriers for Carter, Curnow and George show the shooting was premeditated. In the texts, Carter can be seen referring to the elk as early as 2:56 a.m. Jan. 1 -- almost 20 hours before the shooting. Carter also applied for a road kill permit for the elk with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, saying the elk had broken an antler off, while investigators believe Curnow had sawed the antler off."

Now the truth comes out and they say the Elk lovers were loony. I would much rather hang out with nature lovers than the loony right-wing nutcases on here who have no regard for animal life.
