That's an old Woody Allen story from when he was only famous in the
Catskills (as an entertainer, not a hunter!). But the following is TRUE,
I am not making this up:

A canadian poacher over the border in northern Maine was spotted by a
warded when he shot a moose. The poacher tied the moose to his 12 foot
motor boat to bring it back across the St Croix. But the moose, only
wounded, woke up and swam back to shore, and ran away through the woods.
Problem was, it was still tied on to the boat. The guy's boat and moter
were wrecked, and the Maine game warden liesurly (you can imagine -- in
case you didn't know, people in Maine are all pretty much exactly like
they are depicted on TV) sauntered down and arrested him. Honest!
