There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I have myself with a friend dragged an adult male moose on tarmac about 5 meters and it was easy. It happened when we came to a place where car had crashed with that moose. It was a big one, about 400 kg, so about 880 lbs. Of course moose fur has little friction against tarmac in good condition. But still, on flat area there were me and my friend, only 2 men and easily dragging that moose so, that no more cars crashing it.
How can we believe your friend dragged 400kgs carcass upto 5 metres long. Did you guys weighed that carcass? Probably not...
That is the reason why I posted many videos showing cases, where people are dragging carcasses in the woods. Dragging animals out of woods is here quite normal because we have annual moose hunts and all carcasses have to be dragged out of woods. Sometimes there is possibility to use quad bike to help, but many times it is about manpower and biggest moose are up to 600 kg before taking out internal organs.
But was that moose I dragged with my friend 400 kg, or a little bit less or a little bit more, it will stay as a mystery. Some say it was even 500 kg When I talk about it to little children, it was no less than one ton and I dragged it alone
