Shooting moose is one way to get ready for the Olympics.
That is exactly what American Corey Cogdell did. The Alaskan native bagged the Olympic bronze medal on Monday at age 21, just three years after she said she shot her first moose on a hunting trip with her father, Dick.
"I harvested my first moose when I was 18, a couple of years ago," she told a news conference. "It wasn't a huge 'trophy moose' but it was a trophy to me. I was able to go hunting with my dad and he was there when I shot it."
