Moose Hunt (Canada - 1961)

 

Unable to reproduce the photo:

 

Hank Becker, Neillsville restaurateur, and Francis Urlaub, Town of Weston farmer, are pictured here with the 1,600 lb. moose they brought back from a hunting trip to Canada.  The moose was shot by Becker from 75 to 80 yards from a roadway. Block and tackle was required to "snake" the carcass from tree to tree.  They missed a second moose on the day they were leaving Canada.
