Apparently, there is a gentleman just west of Ft. Worth that has successfully been raising Moose in Texas!! Never thought I would see this: http://www.kissnerexotics.com/Thought some of you might get a kick out of this.

Wondering how he got them into the state. Here is a quote from the website: "Todd has worked extensively with the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Zoo. These moose have their 5 yr monitoring and accreditation and are CWD free."I'm guessing he got them through connections with the zoo.

They are now....but they weren't 5 years ago. Obviously he has had them for at least 5 years if he is CWD accredited.

A couple more pics of them on the facebook page "European Mouflon Sheep Breeders and Fanciers". These are gentle moose, was told the current pair for sale was bottled. Asking $35,000 for the breeding pair.

LOL....funny you say that actually. I've seen two different ranches in Texas that offered Reindeer hunts. One was The Wildlife Ranch in Mason (which is an absolute JOKE)....and the other was the Clear Springs Ranch in Bandera.

I actually know someone who bought some LARGE "reindeer" and transported them down here.

Harvest me a Texas elk out near Van Horn. Finest eating I've ever had. They gorge on alfalfa raised in the area.
