“Is that a cow moose? I wouldn’t try that with a testosterone crazed bull in the rut.”

A cow with a calf in the area (seen or hidden) is the more likely to kill or hospitalize you.

Yeah, a bull would just smash you into the mud and hump you. ;~)

What Bobibutu said.

Buddy of mine and I were in his pickup on a remote woods road. Went nose-to-nose with a cow, who was just as big as we were. Especially at a range of about 3 feet.

She wasn't moving and we couldn't drive around her. Just stood her ground in the middle of the road. Then, after a solid 5 minutes, she turned around and moosed off.

It was early summer, we figured that there must have been a calf around somewhere. Unlike these fools, however, we had the good sense to stay in the truck. :-)
