My daddy and grandaddy used mules to log with until the skidder came along. I didn't know you could get a moose to do work like that. cool photo.

I suspect some digital enhancement here...

Are you pullin' our leg?

I have had several up close moose encounters (feeding and petting) in Alaska and Idaho and yes they are that size. If they were raised around people they are just as friendly, docile and curious as a dog.

A friend of mine in Sandpoint ID raised one from a calf and tried to turn him loose but he just hangs out around her cabin now. Every morning she makes pancakes for him. She gets up and there is a very large nose poking against her kitchen window waiting for the buckwheat pancakes to be cooked.

An obvious fake. It's even listed on Snopes.com. (http://snopes.com/photos/animals/workmoose.asp)

That is one heck of a Photoshoping job.

I realy dig the built in coat rack! But I reckon I'll stick with the tractor.
