    Moose are big animals. They shit and they leave prints. If they know exactly where it was, perhaps they could look for some more evidence?
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Ken Tustin would know more about Fiordland moose than anyone and he doesnt have conclusive evidence that moose still survive there.

    No

    I have seen them stand on their hind legs like a feral goat. I have fixed plenty of ornamental trees ruined by Moose browse too.

    Most Moose sceptics in New Zealand have never left the country either,the closest they have come to any Moose was onto of a fucking ice cream Sunday.

    deep in a hidden valley in our Fiordland Norsk is a lost tribe who worship the moose called the fuckarewe -they originally are said to have come from a remote country called Vorvay - they are said to have a last pet moose a reminder of their homeland - hunters at night have heard their plantive calls on the wind wherethefuckarewe wherethefuckarewe

    A mate has a few Kaka on his farm in Marlborough. Rand Doc to tell them.
    They told him: “no you don’t, that’s outside their range”. He said ok you know best, and hung up.
