Man, I drove all over Yellowstone and 1/2 of western Alberta trying to just get a glimpse of a moose and didn’t see a single one.

I remember a few years back someone in Spokane found one in their swimming pool.

It's weird, because they are so easy to find. When I was deer hunting up there, I once had two monster bulls cross 50 feet from me. But the one year I drew a moose permit, nothing. I saw one 200 yards away, through the trees, but he knew I was there, and moved away.

In one of the Maine sanctuaries, they acted tame and it was easy to get close to them, feeding on water weeds in the lake.

It is unbelievable how HUGE a mature bull is. 8 feet at the shoulder. In other words, they'd have to punch their head through an 8-foot ceiling of a standard ranch house to stand up. And, also hilarious to watch them scoop their head into the water for a bite of water weeds, come up and let a gallon of water drool from their mouth, and munch down.
