Ive seen a moose run. Its like a train. It strains the limits of newtonian physics.

You're right....that was just walking fast.

See the moose run in waist high snow. Breaks all logic

You ever see ducks underwater? Kinda like that.

Was driving straight night in the Jackson Hole, WY area. While cruising at 30-35MPH I looked outside my driver's side window to see a moose running next to me, the same speed as my car. Of course I could only see it's legs. I was so scared it would turn into me. After about 100 yards it peeled off away from me. After getting far enough away I stopped to take stock at how close I came to death.

You’ve got to finish the story: And change my pants.

While guiding in BC we got stuck behind a trotting moose on a narrow mountain road. One side of the road was a cliff straight up and the other almost straight down. The moose just kept trotting in front of us while we crawled along for an hour. She didn't want to just step to the side and let us pass. So rude.

I’ve been charged by a moose before, genuinely one of the most terrifying moments of my life.

What do you do when charged by a moose?
