Moral of the story is that if you see a momma moose and her calf, get as far away from them as quickly as you can. I've learned that lesson the hard way. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

That fool got off easy, the question I have is how does the Moose family get around that fence to safety? | |||

Looks like the "bow wave" off that moose got the biker! Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

Remember to face south when attacking a northbound moose. Or was it the other way around......?  "Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right!" - GhostBusters II "You have all the tools you need. Don't blame them. Use them." - Dan Worrall | |||

My wife and I learned the lesson as well many years ago while hiking in the NW mountains of Wa. Scary shit right there. We also got run off by a bull Moose in rut in the same area.

As a kid on a family road trip vacation west, we had a cow moose charge our Volvo station wagon in the Teton National Forest because she apparently felt we were too close to her calves. They are BIG animals, and move surprisingly fast for their size. | |||

Either that or the moose is also a Master of the Force! I think the guy saw the Moose coming and just froze up. While it wouldn't have been good for the biker, I was waiting to see him go flying. | |||

I would use the fainting goat technique too. Faint and play dead. | |||

That's exactly what I thought of. Startled goats. I actually chuckled. | |||

The same thing applies to Grizzly Bears. Our SILs BIL was 4 wheeling in NW Montana over Memorial Day and rode between mom and 2 cubs. He came out okay after a helicopter ride to the hospital with a dislocated shoulder and an apparent concussion. He luckily had a helmet on.

Moose are MEAN and TOUGH and fucking HUGE!! I saw my first real moose on....appropriately Moosehead Lake and that sumbitch was gihugic and I am pretty sure he didn’t take any shit from the local bears. You get between Moose Mamma and Moose Calf.....you better be able to haul ass on the 90 degree away line. Now all that being said......they taste FANTASTIC!!!! "Guns are tools.
