Trailblazer Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Nice shots of that moose JG, you must be getting really brave or you got quite the zoom on your camera. Last bit of snow in my yard melted on the weekend, officially all gone. Time to break out the atv and do some exploring. Take care mon homme JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 You're the "Moose Whisperer" JG. Be careful just the same, remember what happened to that guy in BC that was spending all his time watching the Grizzlies, I believe his name WAS Timothy Treadwell if memory serves me correct. Less likely to be mauled by a moose but they sure can ram and stomp on you. I have every bit of confidence that you know what your doing JG but all it takes is one rogue moose and game over. Take care and keep the pics coming, love the close ups. JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 great night to see mooses..... When it comes to the plural form for Moose, Meese or Mooses i have often questioned myself, so i looked it up at Wiktionary and got my answer........but Mosinee, that sounds like a name of a beer in the maritimes for God sakes. Guess mooses fits better. LOL http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/moose#cite_note-INiM-etpl-2 Usage notes The use of moose in the plural is sometimes problematic. The regularly formed plural, mooses, is by now rare and its use may be regarded as irksome and uneuphonious. The form meese—formed by analogy with goose → geese—will in most cases be greeted with a snigger, and is thus generally only appropriate in humorous contexts; even pragmatics notwithstanding, because moose has Algonquian origins—wholly unrelated to the Germanic roots of goose, on whose pattern the plural meese is formed—a strong declension plural form is etymologically inconsistent. The etymologically consistent plural form would be *mosinee,[2] but this plural form sees no use in English. In ordinary common usage, moose is treated as an invariant noun, which means its plural is also moose (as with the names of many animals, such as deer and fish, which are also invariant); however, this usage can sometimes be considered stilted when a group of more than one moose are considered individually, in which case avoidance of the plural may be the best option, necessitating the employment of a circumlocution.
