Editor’s note: I want to thank Albert Ladd for sharing his photos and story and to Roger, Steve and Matt for allowing this to be posted for others to enjoy. And, for a fresh mooseburger call ………never mind!
It all began when Maine Warden Norm Lewis gave a call to Roger Boucher of Byron, Maine that there was a bull moose down, having been hit by a vehicle. This happened on State Rt. 17, just south of Beaver Pond. Roger sprung into action calling his son-in-law, Steve Ladd, and Steve’s father Albert, for assistance.
Albert Ladd says, “Roger, also my son’s father-in-law contacted us for help and to take some of the meat. By dark Saturday the meat was cut up and in cooler. Monday afternoon we ground and wrapped and by dark the meat was distributed to several people in the area (with the appropriate tag number).”

This just isn’t right! Does that look good or what? No, no, no! Not the Sam Adams! The moose meat!
And there’s a little something for everyone!
