TUBOB’s History Of Alaska IV: Moose Punching

The roadkill collection of Moose, and other antlered creatures of the gentle forest, for personal use is illegal in Alaska due, primarily, to an outraged public and legislative reaction to a rather disturbing hunting practice popular during the 1940’s and 50’s. This old hunting methodology involved the literal road hunting of Moose with cars and trucks in which the drivers/hunters would wait in their idling vehicles, in a doom-filled and deadly anticipation, at known moose crossings. When a Moose eventually crossed the road they would floor their accelerators and slam their cars into the Mooses, killing them with a violent application of blunt force trauma. Then the hunters would strap the Mooses onto the hoods and tops of their cars or toss them in the beds of their pickups and return home for the butchering and dining upon of said Mooses/ TUBOB .
