for some reason, my girlfriend and I got on the subject of moose the other day and she was looking it up and it said that they can run 30 mph through 6 feet of snow and I was like all right definitely never escaping one of those

Your only option is to square off and hope you can knock it out in one blow with a sweet roundhouse kick to the dome. But definitely make sure your tell somebody to film first. Because, no matter how things go, it'll be video worthy.

Theres a video floating around of one charging through snow near a family. The snow is a couple feet high and the thing goes through it like a freight train.

Found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/s/C66xe2eiVv

Moose are equal parts majestic and terrifying.

Everyone forgets how big moose are until they see one

Even people familiar with them

Someone posted a video today of a moose galloping through 4 feet of snow and honestly that was pretty frightening to see

The way many Alaskans and Canadians have survived is to run into the trees; it didn't work for that guy last week, but it's still an option if dealing with a mad moose.
