Dead moose the latest hot thing on Craigslist

Moose crossing
So, this 300-pound moose stumbled in Anchorage, Alaska dropped dead in someone's front yard, the guy called the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to haul the carcass away, and they told him too bad, he was on his own.

 Calvin Hay gave it half a thought, then did the only sensible thing, and buzzed over to Craigslist to offer a dead moose to the first taker.


His post includes a few helpful serving suggestions: "You could use it for dog food, or stuff it and put it (in) your front yard, bear bait, whatever. If you live in the Lower 48, this might be your best opportunity to get a free Alaska moose. I don’t really care; I just want it out of my yard."


He got at least 50 responses just minutes after posting the moose deal, including one potential moose gourmet who wasn't into hauling away 300 pounds of moose, saying: "I want it. But I can only take a haunch. I got only a small knife and a bicycle." More>

Note: The header photo doesn't depict any of those trendy dead Alaskan moose. The picture is of a New Hampshire moose. They don't cause as much trouble, see, 'cause evidently they can read.
