Re: [RC] Moose - Jim & Drin Becker

 What
to do when you scare up a moose?
Thanks

As someone posted earlier , a moose can be way more dangerous than either bear or cats . We have had a bull moose break into corrals to go after our horses in hunting camps , they do wreck havoc on a packstring :-) The best thing you can do especially during calving and the rut is to get as far away as fast as you can as a moose is so unpredictable . Never try to chase them off of a trail , if you run into them on foot find a tree to get behind as they attack with their front feet striking . I have seen them take on cars before when people tried to hide in cars or thought they could get close in a vehicle to watch them . I have been chased more than once by them as we live in prime moose country .
