High Wire Moose

[Wilbur Wetline]

In Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada (1 hour 45 minutes north of Toronto) new power cables were laid out on the ground. From miles away, there was a crew pulling the lines up with heavy equipment. They noticed excess tension in the lines and found out why:

This 60" bull had been agitated - it was rutting season - and got his antlers stuck in the cables. Too bad there's no video showing how pissed off he was when they lowered him down!

That's a heck of a picture. I imagine that moose was plenty glad to get back on the ground and pretty feisty to boot. Looks like beautiful country up that way.

Is this real? If it is, it's pretty impressive.
