Re: moose problem

Yeah, the moose left plenty of pumpkin, which is part of what made the
moose raid so darned annoying.  If they'd just eat the whole thing
and leave a big void in the patch, maybe there'd be some entertainment
value out of figuring out where a large pumpkin went (a la crop circles).
But no, they just gnaw all over it, leaving lovely patterns of tooth
scrape marks, and then mosey on to the next item in
the garden (which, for the first time this year, included decimating the
corn crop -- for years they've just crashed through the corn trying to get
to the stuff they'd rather eat, like broccoli (or, as you've discovered,
cabbage)).  Can't even enjoy visions of recycling the consumed pumpkin in
batches of tasty mooseghetti and mooseganoff, since the moose which
launched the raid is a mom with baby who won't be eligible for the
crockpot when hunting season rolls around.
