I didn't know Minnesota was known for moose

So, last year, I was in the southern Minnesota woods way south of the Twin Cities near dusk and saw a huge dark figure crossing a public hunting forest. I couldn't see it clearly and wasn't sure what it was. But I went to the trail and saw huge tracks covering even my foot prints.

So, I called the DNR the next morning and asked if there was moose season and where I would find them. DNR lady said there was no season for them at the time but that they were found mostly in the northern parts of the state "towards Canada."

I decided to prove her wrong and set a trail cam to the trail where I saw this figure.

Two days later I brought the chip back home to view on my computer. Damn! It was a strayed angus ox with a collar on its neck and letters on that collar.
