"Mac" Has A New Rack

   And it's the result of a Battle of the Moose between Moose Jaw's 'Mac' and Stor Eldval Norway's 'Storelgen' for bragging rights as the World's Largest Moose Statue. For 31 years, Mac held the title, but was dethroned in 2015 when the Norwegian's built one about 30 cm (1 foot) taller.
   A go-fund-me page was set up months ago for Mac's antler-enhancement, and general repairs, and his new rack was installed recently.
   The Battle of the Moose actually made headlines in many countries, and also resulted in the mayors of both communities involved calling a "truce", with Stor-Eldval Norway's deputy mayor Linda Henriksen paying a visit to the Saskatchewan city.
   And unless the Norwegians go ahead with a plan to build an even bigger moose statue (which had been talked about), Mac will remain the largest in the world. That's because Storelgen is an art-work, and can't be modified.
   So far, there's been no response from Norway on Mac's new rack.
