[only one more shopping day till tomorrow]

A friend of mine is curious about a subject, and I volunteered to ask the
net for information.

What is desired is knowledge about moose, and man's relationship with this
species.  Some questions he would like answered follow:

Why do moose hunters choose to hunt moose, and not restrict their hunting to
other species?

Do any regional/cultural groups eat meat from moose?  As a regular staple, or
a rare delicacy?  How does it compare with venison?

A lot of people have a strange fascination with moose (obviously, us included).
Does anyone have any idea why?

Any other information is welcome.  Please - serious responses only.
