BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – The story of the love-sick moose on this day in history.
On October 24, 1986, we visited the Carrara Farm in Shrewsbury for a most unusual courtship.
A big bull moose, who was given the name Bullwinkle, had shown up and taken an interest in a cow named Jessica.
For 76 days, the moose pursued the hard-to-get Hereford.
The love story attracted thousands of onlookers.
Eventually, Bullwinkle got tired of the cold shoulder from Jessica and headed off for greener pastures.
