moose pulling wagons was the 1800's version of a tricked up car.the Northern Minnesota story is about the guy who would drive into one of the logging towns on a Saturday nite,red leather harness and all.the local guys for a "joke" hid by the road and did a moose call on a birch horn.the moose of course took off ripping the wagon and harness off.it was said to be seen off in the woods much later feeding on willow with bits of the harness still on..and yes they get very big.i would rather deal with a bear in my camp than a stand off with a moose on a portage trail.
