Having issues posting the story and photos. It is worth the peek at the link to see the size of the rack this guy has been growing for the last several years. An incredible bull!

ANCHORAGE (KTUU) - An iconic Anchorage bull moose has been killed in a car crash early Saturday morning.
Don Dyer, the President of the Alaska Moose Federation, says Hook the moose was killed before 5:00 a.m. around 2600 E. 5th Ave.
Dyer said while Hook did not have his trademark rack, he did have some unique physical features that were easily identifiable including a cleft dewlap and a scar on the right-side of his nose.
The Alaska Moose Federation collects the bodies of moose for charities that then use their meat. Dyer explained the charity who claimed Hook donated his skull and hide to the Alaska Moose Federation. Dyer said Hook will now be turned into a full-body mount to honor his memory.

It is with great sadness that I am posting the news of the death of Hook, the famous Bull Moose that lived around downtown / Merrill Field area of Anchorage. He was a iconic animal that represented the best that Alaska has to offer in wildlife for over nine years. He was known well here at home, and around the world as tourists shared his images.
Hook was struck by a car sometime during the early morning hours of Saturday, February 17th. AMF received the call at 5:06 AM from ...
Hook was our favorite moose to photograph and an icon in Anchorage. Sadly, we believe he was hit by a car this morning. We were called this morning by the Alaska Moose Federation to identify a large bull involved in a collision. Based upon a few of Hook's unique features, we believe this was him.
Hook was a legend here in Anchorage. He will be greatly missed.
