About Moose
Greetings I’m Moose and I currently live in North Carolina and have lived here for the last 11 years. I grew up in New England and still have many roots tied to that part of the country and try to get back there as much as I can. I miss New England fall days, when the air is crisp and the beauty of the leaves as they turn colors and drop to cover the earth for winter. I miss winter almost as much.
How did I get to love the great outdoors as much as I do? As a boy, I fished a lot but it was not until my college years before I took up hunting. Once I started hunting, I knew that this was for me and I began to learn all I could about hunting and the outdoors. Moose Droppings will be a place that chronicles my journey, I’ll explore new places and ideas I’ll learn new things and I’ll teach the things I’ve learned to others. Join me on the adventure and hopefully it will help you in your outdoor endeavors.
Hey Moose … it was nice meeting you yesterday!
Let me know if you want to go exploring …

Great blog. I’m up in Arlington, Virinia, so I am another transplant to the mid-Atlantic. I just came across your great blog and added it to the list in the sidebar at http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com I signed up for the feed too! It’s nice to run across a quality blog on wildlife, fishing and hunting
Keep it up!

Moose,
You are amazing! Your judicious coverage of the OLF story is exceptional. It is truly evident that you love our country’s natural resources, beauty and wildlife.
Thank you.
The No-OLF is extremely grateful for all the hard work and time you have given to help preserve and protect eastern North Carolina.

Hey Moose great photos and thanks for the blog. As usual I enjoyed having you guys on the boat. If at all possible could you email me the picture of John Patrick and the Jack the colors and the sun gleeming off the fish are awesome. Thanks again, Jamie

Moose,
Nice blog. I’d like to swap links with you. My blog is http://www.uplandfeathers.com/. I figured an outdoor guy called Moose must have hailed from New England or Canada.

Hey Moose,
Did you know you had your own festival? Talkeetna is a cool town.
Check out the Mountain mother contest!

Hey John,
Yup I’ve heard of this festival and it’s on the list of things I’d like to do at some point. Thanks for the link. Have to have a road trip at some point.

Your story sounds a lot like mine. I was born in Boston, moved to RI when I was young. Joined the Army and have been in NC since 1992. I even convinced my folks AND in-laws to move and now we are all North Carolinians. I am currently deployed to Afg and enjoy your work in the hunting community. Keep it up Moose!

Matt,
Thanks for your kind words I’m glad you drop by. I want to thank you for the job you do as well as all the other members of the armed forces. You guys put it on the line to keep us free THANK YOU. Be safe and I hope you return to the red clay soil of the tar heel state real soon.

Hey Moose,
I like your website! I couldn’t figure out how to make direct contact with you so I’m trying this. My Dad and I make a super effective new motion duck decoy, proudly here in the USA. You can see a video of it at windwhacker.com. I don’t know if you allow commercial stuff on your site. I’ll happily add a link to your site on mine. Let me know..Thanks…Rob

Hey Moose
A couple questions if you have a minute.
Could you add “Whitetail Woods” to your hunting blogroll? the address is http://whitetailwoods.blogspot.com/
also,
The photo shoot you did about the old barn full of memories was awesome and I was wanting permission to use one or two of those pictures and a short story. Of course it will all point back to you. Please let me know if it is ok.

Moose,
Just read your blog about the big deer killed in Kentucky. I was hunting in Warren county Ky…..and buried my truck in the mud. My cell phone didn’t work in that area so I started walking. I came upon some men doing new home construction. I walked up the to the construction site, and the owner of company came out. I asked if he might have a phone that I could use to call my unlce so that he could come out and pull my truck out.
The man asked me if I’d been having any luck that day and I told him not so far.
He offered to come pull me out himself…with his four wheel drive…and on the ride to my truck he told me of this monster buck that his father in law had shot the week before. He showed me the pics of it….the same ones you have posted on your site .
The pics now are on permenant display in the sporting goods dept. at Walmart here in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
