BARKHAMSTED (AP) — State police say a trooper shot and killed a seriously injured moose that had been struck by an SUV in Barkhamsted.
A local news outlet reports that troopers from the Canaan barracks were dispatched to Route 179 about a quarter mile north of Route 219 about 4:20 p.m. Thursday.
When they arrived they found that a Chevrolet Trailblazer that had struck a moose.
A trooper killed the animal. No people were injured.
The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection estimates there are about 100 moose in Connecticut, mostly in the northern areas of the state.
ahhhh, so many memories of college come to mind and singing that stupid 99 bottles of beer song while trying to remember how to drive home,.....from one town over. An then there's was my Italian girl friend, amore. In fact, amore several times in one night.
Those were the days my friend I thought they never end,....la, la , la, la, lalala.
I hit a deer a few years ago and the state cop showed up. When I told him I wanted the meat and needed a tag, he said didn't have any of the forms I asked for (thought I'd need it for insurance). He also wasn't allowed to use any of his scarce hollow points to finish off the deer (they had just been issued new handguns and only had 2 mags worth of ammo). So he called a local cop. I offered him some .45 ammo because I happened to have some with me, he said he couldn't accept it. Local cop finally came, finished the deer, and gave me the proper carcass tag.
