My wife called me the other day around 4:00PM. She has a habbit of calling me four or five times a day about the most meaningless crap, so by then I'm answering the phone like:
Me: "What! ... This better be good"
Her: "There's a moose in the driveway"
Me: "Yeah right ... whaddaya want ... I'm busy"
Her: "No really, there was a moose in the driveway ... the police are here now"
Me: "A moose ... wha'd he look like? ... who called the police?"
Her: "He looked like a moose!"
Me: "Have you been drinking?"
Her: "NO!"
Me: "Where was he?"
Her: "In the driveway, near the big rock"
Me: "Which big rock?, the Bob Rock?"
Her: "No the other one"
Me: "The Wilma Rock?" (We have big rocks named after our dogs)
Her: "The one between our house and Suzie's house"
Me: "You mean right behind my archery target ??? !!!"
Her: "Yeah!"
Me: "Get outa here!"
Her: "Suzie saw it too"
Me: "Did you get a picture?"
Her: "No"
Anyway, When I got home, sure enough I found some nice fresh moose tracks where he ran off into the swamp. I'm completely dumbfounded! I mean of all people's driveways ... MINE! And I never see anything! I get the "Oh, the neighbors saw three deer in the back yard yesterday" and the "There was a huge buck in the driveway this morning" ... I never see squat!! NOW A MOOSE!
I spoke with Bill Wyotek, the F&G deer biologist. He said there's 600-800 moose in Mass. ... who knew?
