Pat Riot Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I was bummed to find out Teddy Roosevelt never actually rode a moose. It was a fake done to promote him and the Bill Moose party. Here is a newer comprehensive story about it. https://www.wired.com/story/teddy-roosevelt-on-a-moose-fake-news-or-fake-fake-news/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 The picture is generally accepted as real, but alleged to have been taken in a number of different towns and states. What I've always been interested in is the UFO flying through the air with the tripod landing gear at the top left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I’m thinking one good shake of the elk’s head and those antlers would gore the poor guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bullweed Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Comparing to a smallish horse and scaling to be big enough to carry an adult male, do elk get to 800-900 pounds?? We have elk in NC but they tend to be smallish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Since this is a photograph, not a movie, so the man is not "riding" the elk, but is just "sitting on" the elk, am I the only one that's considered it's a stuffed elk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
