While getting permission from an older farmer to track a wounded buck onto his land he says:
"so you say he was a big one? What do you figure, 7 or 800lbs?"
He must have been going senile because he's lived on the land for 50yrs, and there are no moose in the area.
Maybe not senile. Some farmers don't hunt, and have no interest in it. Most people tend to have little knowledge about things they have no interest in. I have talked to a few of farmers that don't know much about deer, waterfowl, coyotes, etc. They just don't care enough to learn anything about it. You can hear some strange things from people who are around wildlife all their life and just don't pay attention.
