This would be far different from the other trips I've taken with the Fraternity guys. We'd be in a nice, quiet, calm bay and nobody would be making a sound as they jigged for walleye. Well....that just didn't work for me. So I'd take a daredevil and pull off the hooks. Then I'd lob it up in the air so that it would land in the boat in front of us LOL!! The thing would go off like a canon, people would jump and I'd fire up the engine and start doing high speed circles around their boat LOL!!

I guess the point is....I like screwing around as much as I like fishing

When I first saw this story I thought you'd been located.

Then I realized this moose is younger than you.


Family Adopts Abandoned Moose

A New Brunswick, Canada, family has opened up their home to an orphan, abandoned by his mother and left near their home.

The abandoned baby moose may be going through a bit of an identity crisis. There's a good chance it thinks it's more a puppy than a woodland creature. Alaine Cousineau and her son Peter have adopted the moose, who now lives in their house.

When Cousineau moved to her new neighborhood, she was hoping to make a friend. She just never imagined he would be four-legged and furry. And a moose.

The moose's name is Baz; Cousineau and her son found him resting beside their parked car three weeks ago, his umbilical cord still attached.

Baz has since doubled in size, thanks in part to a nourishing blend of evaporated milk and cereal fed to him via a bottle.

The Department of Natural Resources in Canada has said that Baz will need to find a new home, though, since it's illegal to keep wildlife captive. They plan to seize him and then release him into the wild.

The Cousineaus have said Baz is free to go, if he wants.

"I can't imagine anyone doing any better for that animal than we are," said Peter Cousineau.

"He seems to be flourishing. He's free, and eventually I'm sure he's going to get the call of the wild."

Until then, though, Baz is soaking up all the love he can get.
