In Moose
Heaven two Moose approach one another
"Hello
Father"
"Hello
son, where have you been, I haven't seen you in, well, what seemed to be an
eternity.... pardon the pun!"
"Father,
I went to Earth to look for our remains."
"Our
remains? Did you find anything."
"Yes
Father, I found my head , it is mounted on the wall at the Canton Moose
Club, in Canton, Georgia".
And I
found your antlers hanging in the den at a house owned by a couple by the name of Eddie and Anna
Hunter in Marietta, Georgia. I did some
mystical research and found that Tommy Prance shot and killed you and his friend Bill
Chesser killed me - remember we were killed two days apart in
the area of Besa River, B.C."
"Why do
they want to mount our body parts on their walls anyway?"
"I
think it is a trophy; a proud accomplishment kind of thing"
"If
Eddie and Anna Hunter didn't kill me how why are my antlers mounted on their
wall and the Moose club didn't shoot you so how come your head is on their
wall?"
Son: Shrugs his invisible spirit shoulders, "Got me! Humans are a confusing kind of creatures. I think Eddie Hunter is using your antlers as a trophy for having adventurous kind of in-laws, if that makes any sense."
A paragraph in an earlier Chicken-fat post:
My late brother-in-law Tommy Prance (1935-1988) killed it in 1977 and it made the records books. We got it up on the wall and wanted to show it again, being up high, big and bold. Tommy shot two moose that day. The record of this one is in the book RECORDS OF NORTH AMERICAN BIG GAME, 8thEDITION, 1981. It said the animal was shot in 1977; Rank 236; Score 198 2/8; Greatest Spread 60-3/8; Number of Normal Points R 11, L, 12; and Location Killed Besa River, B.C.
