Express confusion and disbelief about how an animal like a moose could be confused with an elk. Also, recount a related story about city hunters who would shoot goats and pass them off as deer.
It's kind of hard to understand how a moose can be mistaken for an elk.  My husband says reminds him when the city jerks from NYC would shoot goats for deer and then strap them across the car fender and drive back to the city. No excuses.
