Hey, Who Doesn’t Love Fresh Vegetables?

Moose were spotted having a garden vegetable buffet in Henderson Corner, near Dawson City, last week. Bites were taken out of cabbage, the tops eaten off of kohlrabi, beets, romanesco, and broccoli, and some beets plucked out of the soil. The tracks told the tale of the culprits responsible. Seems like a mama moose  and her offspring were craving some fresh greens — and backyard gardens in Henderson Corner were ripe for the picking.
