I learned the hard way that hammocks in trees are a NO-No when you live by moose and deer. Now you must know by now that I think of the wild animals as my pets and friends, so I was horrified to see that a moose had come into our yard while we were away, no doubt trying to find something he could scratch his head and neck against, as they have done for years with our hammocks, until now. The 4 or 5 year old moose got his neck stuck in the hammock and wrapped it around his neck so tight that it strangled him. I was so sad, he was a beautiful animal.
