No Squirrel To Save Him
A moose died after being hung fifty feet above the ground on a power line.
The workers believe the moose may have come across the sagging and swaying wires and decided to challenge the power line to a fight, as bull moose are known to do during the rut, or mating season.
"My guess is he was in full rut and probably seen that line moving out there," and decided to fight, said Marvin Pickens, line construction manager for City Electric in Anchorage.

MOOSE: Mobile On Orbit Support Equipment (MILSTAR)
Maybe he just got caught up in the power lines upon reentry.

Why doesn't anyone even consider some of the old MOOSE bail-out from proposals?
