Moose hoisted 50ft into the air

Workers constructing power lines in Alaska accidentally strung a moose 50 feet up in the air.

The workers were putting up overhead power lines to the Teko Pogo goldmine, reports the Fairbanks Daily News. The wires were close to the ground when the curious 1200lb bull moose got his antlers caught. Workers further down the line couldn't see the entangled animal when they pulled the wires tight, hoisting the moose up into the air. They only found the moose when they backtracked after finding the line hard to pull with their hydraulic winch.
