Don't mess with moose
Can you imagine what it's like to be on the receiving end of a moose charge? It happened to me while deer hunting. The bull that challenged me was provoked, apparently, by my deer grunting calls. Obviously, I lived to tell about it. My bull was being territorial during the post-rut season. There were at least two cases of snowmobilers being charged by moose this winter. The unusually deep snow drove moose onto the packed down snowsled trails. The big critters refused to be driven off the snowmobile trails and were willing to fight to stay on the "high ground." |
