I saw him on the local news awhile back, Robb. They got some footage of him running through a cornfield in the northern part of the state.
A friend who has a couple of trail cams on some land that is adjacent to some farm ground that my dad owns a few miles from here, got a couple of pics of this guy in September. This bull has been spotted a bunch of times in our area the past couple of years. Another friend got some really good video of him last fall.

If he stops by the pancake house off the Interstate he'll be "a wapiti at I-Hoppity"

Not to wish the moose ill, but it would be fitting if there is a bunch of footage of the little bull being savaged by wolves.

Rod, on the governor's trophy husband's FB page, populated by anti-hunting sycophants, I regularly post stills of moose calves being torn apart by wolves, etc. The reactions are always some variation of "Better wolves than hunters".

Lou, yeah here it’s always “nature is cruel yet so beautiful”
Not sure the moose being killed for hours or days sees the beauty in it though.

In 1978 we had an elk wander through North West Iowa.. Must have been 20 or 30 cars following all the time. Pretty cool to see as a teenager.. Yes im old.

A few years ago over on Iowa whitetails a bunch of guys where getting trailcam pics of a bull elk going across Southern Iowa all fall. Fast forward to the following February I found him dead. New it was him due to the piece of dried velvet hanging from his antler point. It was a very interesting conversation with the dnr to get them out to get a salvage tag so I could bring it home. As far as I know I'm the state record holder of the largest bull elk deadhead due to being the only one checked in.

Remember in the late 70s in Iowa (my home state) a bull moose was being track down from Mn to Ia.
The moose was shot in Grundy Co. by a farm that was in his corn picker with his 7mm rifle claiming that the moose was going to attack his machine, the DNR didn't do anything but the farmer was a big game hunter that went out west ever year, not hard to figure this out.
