Earl Bargemeyer was not afraid to carry a moose. He was one of the premiere moose carriers of his time.
By Stan Bargemeyer, Coma News Intern
In 1902 The Town of Coma used people like my great grandfather Earl Bargemeyer , who is pictured in this artists illustration, to transport a moose by carrying it around. Moose carrying fell out of favor in the mid 19th Century as the people of Coma realized that a Moose could walk faster on it’s own. Moose carrying is still practiced in some moose based societies today and by zookeepers.

The popular film ‘Titanic” did not feature any moose even though moose can swim.
