How to hang moose to cure. Updated photo

Dabigmoose sent this to me.

These are pics of the moose that City Electric caught a couple days ago
when stringing our 138 kV power lines.

Basically, you set up the poles, run the power lines along the ground,
hoist them up to crosstie level, and then pull them tight with a Cat.

The guys must have thought something like, "gee, this is pulling kinda
funny, and went back to see what the problem was....

The moose was caught by its antlers, but when lowered to the ground
became fighting mad and got really tangled in the ones on the ground.  

They potted the moose and turned it into fish and game, who turned it over to the food bank.

Cool,  I heard the news report but had no idea there were pictures.  Amazing.  Would have been interesting to see the moose go up.  Really unlucky day for him.

Dabigmoose?

I sent this by email to some friends back east.  One was interested in the term "potted. Do you have an idea where the phrase was started?

Meaning is fairly obvious to me.

The iranic thing is he survived being hoisted up and down.  He was shot only after repeated attempts to untangle him failed.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

POTTED
I hear it used from time to time by old timers and have ran across it use
 in some old books and stories during 1800 and early 1900
I think it was a term used when the family cow or other family
owned animal that had been raised was going to be butchered.
This seems to be the sugar coated term used around the women folk and children. (political correct term) maybe but lets hope not!!
