Happens in Colorado too, moose think dogs are wolves and attack on sight. Moose also have little fear of humans, walk right through towns. I’ve railed against Colorado Parks and Wildlife for years that they reintroduced moose but don’t distribute enough hunting tags for them, which has led to overpopulation and danger from attacks and car accidents, which can be fatal for humans also. A moose can take the roof right off a car upon impact.

Had a moose chase me around once walking my dog on the powerline in Fairbanks AK. Saw it on the trail ahead and thought well i’m not going that way. It then comes charging down the trail in my direction & I get of the trail into the woods and get a tree between us. The moose continues down the trail past my position quite a ways. I think ok she’s passed on by, I can continue. Im on down the trail about 25 yards, and here she comes again. I now decide I’m just gonna cut back through the woods towards my house and stay off the trail. Next thing I know she’s charging through the woods. I maintained a tree between us & picked up a big branch (all this time I have my dog on a leash close). She got my heart pumping, they are big animals. After this last bit she finally disappeared. Since it was calving time, I think she had a calf just of the Trail near the first place I spotted her and was protecting that whole area.
