DO NOT BLOW UP THIS PHOTO IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH
So Jathan got a call on Christmas Eve morning, asking him if he wanted to help harvest a moose that had been hit on the freeway.
One thing I love about Alaska is that they don't let things go to waste... such as a moose that has been hit. Unlike many other states where they throw away a perfectly good... I don't know... buffalo or what not!
You can have your name put on a list and when your turn comes you have to come get the moose. This is not a small job! These are incredibly large animals.... and it is a DIRTY JOB! In fact I think we should call Mike Rowe from the show "Dirty Jobs" next time! I love him by the way!
I sent Jathan with the camera and asked him to get a few photos. Uhhhh I did not realize how bloody these photos would be. I guess I don't really know what sort of photos I was expecting to get. This photo was the least gory.

(I can't believe I am posting this photo. But hey this is a blog about our lives... and this is part of our lives!)
All the men involved in this project split up the meat. So we will soon have about a hundred lbs of ground Moose. Nothing like free organic meat!
(these guys were doing all this at 8:30 in the morning (still so dark) in -20 degree weather! brrrrrr)

Wow! Nothing like Common sense from the government! Sarah Palin must have had something to do with that one. (: Is that steam from the moose? It looks cold out there! I hope Mooseburger tastes yummy since you're gonna have some!
