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. Ken Kaufman (uiucdcs!kaufman)
