We are, as far as we know, the sole purveyors of moose poop incense, though an argument could be made, presumably, that the moose are the real purveyors, and there are a lot of those, but probably not enough. At any rate, we have burned our share of Nag Champa and other mainstream ‘cense, and we have experimented with other kinds of animal poop, but only moose poop has that natural willowy/sweetgrass/campfire smell we so love.
This will be year number four, and it has been an adventure. We've learned a lot - about moose, about poop, about people. A few updates: Marian has moved to Madison, Wisconsin to study creative writing there, but will be back for at least part of the summer. Jerry has his eye on New Mexico, but is still around at this juncture, and will be hawking moose shit at the Clark Fork Market come May.
We do not treat our moose poop or alter it in any way – we just hunt it, harvest it, sun-dry it, package it up with a bit of paraphernalia, and offer it to folks with a sense of humor, or at least an ingrained appreciation of the absurd. Whenever we are asked, "Why would anyone sell/buy/burn moose poop?" we are at a loss to answer; some people get it, and some don’t. That seems to be the way of the world, and we are grateful for our little corner of it.
Thanks for visiting our website – feel free to write, call, or comment on our blog. We are social animals ourselves, and would love to hear what you are thinking, about poop, about moose, about life in this funny old world. And no, elk poop does not smell good when you light it on fire, so you might not want to do that.
