I know someone who brought moose hair back from overseas in order to plant it.
He didn't plant it as soon as some home truths were explained to him.
Anyone who would do that for a laugh is as stupid as they come imo.

All of the above. And just what a wank thing it is to do.
Wasting peoples time and money knowingly is just a cock move.
Pretty sure there is also a slight diff in DNA due to where NZ moose originated. But not a hundy on that.

Ok. Not really factual though offering hints and knowledge of rumours. Not digging at you, but rumours is how a myth or legend is created. The Moose existing or not, is a potential reality either way. Facts supporting either case can't be ignored. I'd like to think they still exist, but I feel it is highly unlikely they do.
Yea me to;, Id like to think they still exist down there but unlikely. But not impossible
I've read Ken Tustins book and very interesting. I personally know two of the guys who found hair and had it positively identified back in 2001. Ken refers to this in his book and the only reason these guys thought it was even worth testing was because of the "browse height" which they said was well above what they could reach, and definitely higher than any deer or Wap could reach even standing on its hind legs.
Does make you wonder
My two cents without having an idea of the environment they were spotted in except it's probably step terrain with cold streams and alpine lakes, is that a Moose in summer bulks up on aquatic vegetation for calories and sodium load, you'd think by now one would have been spotted in the water, also younger bulls during rut travel miles looking for a mate and are pretty much fearless, the fact a roaring Wapiti hunter hasn't been charged by a love-sick moose never mind heard one is strange if they did exist. But I wouldn't know how remote this area of the fiordland is so anything could be possible.
Listen to the Educated Hunter Podcast, Ben sounds very convinced what he saw was a moose, and given his straight up personality and experience spotting moose, there seems no reason as to why he would make up a yarn. I've always believed there are still moose in there somewhere, I've heard enough rumors from locals over the years to keep the spark alive, and knowing the country reasonably well, I can see how a small population could live there without being found. We had four wild Angus bulls hiding in 700ha of pine forest and you'd ocassionally see them, or a bit of sign, took 8 years before we managed to track them down in a spot where we could catch them
I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
Did you have your red cape @JoshC for that show down
It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
judging by Tv footage etc ive seen Josh Id sooner you than me when i comes to dealing with those wild cattle some give the appearance of bull elephants with a bad case of PMT!
I thought all Angus are wild
