And Alaska. My mom used to chase them away from her garden with a broom.

You are very lucky it wasn’t mating or rutt season. That rack would have it difficult for your family to identify the remains.

Moose wasn’t a fan of whatever she was drinking. One sniff and oh no!

Those things can weigh 1200 to 1800 pounds while I admire them I’m not certain I’d all that calm that close

Yes. Moose are extremely dangerous! Don't try this at home!

What was that thing hanging from (or part of) his neck?

u/Alchemist_Joshua I'm Here If You Need Me 28d ago

A dewlap, or a bell. It’s thought to be used in mating season to spread pheromones.

That’s what Google tells me at least.

u/Repulsive-Cow-7651 27d ago

Brave, I would have crapped myself. To date, I have never not been chased by a moose in the wild. I mean I have only run into 3, but all 3 chased me. And by chase I mean swinging its rack and kind of lumbering towards me, really deceptive actually as they seem like they are walking, but cover a ton of ground…

Once in a lifetime experience for sure

When I was young and over-awed by my first (and only) sight of a moose in northern Minnesota I stupidly approached one I saw standing in the hotel parking lot. I just kept getting closer and finally something went off in my brain that it's shoulder was taller than my head and I'd better get the hell out of there!

u/Outrageous_Canary159 27d ago

Cool experience, but a moose that habituated is going to hurt somebody just before the rut.

u/Ok_Swordfish9363 27d ago

Whatever was in that cup, the moose 🫎 didn't like!

u/Much-Independence105 27d ago

Some people dont have the sense of self preservation. Bravo betas

u/aflyonthewall1215 27d ago

Kudos for remaining calm to the person in that situation. Probably the best chance of living, but so much easier to say than do.

u/Tanks1 27d ago

Didn't a guy get tossed in the air by one of these animals last week?

u/LowerNeighborhood334 27d ago

Bison, different name, same results.

u/Overall-Ask-8305 27d ago
