Very unfortunate. Yet another reminder that zoom cameras are cheap, relative to hospital stays or funerals.

I have read that there exists video and then horrific audio recording of Outdoorsman Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend being attacked, eaten and killed by the grizzlies they were living amongst. Has never, to my knowledge, been released publicly.

"The second man, who has not been publicly identified, was uninjured."

First rule of wilderness survival: Always travel with someone slower than you are.

"authorities cannot say if the moose killed Chorman by kicking or stomping him, or a combination."

I think moose favor the stomp attack. Now elk, that's a different story.

The cap was still on the video camera but the audio was recorded

From what I’ve seen and heard moose have a bad attitude to begin with.....throw in a female with newborn calves and you have a recipe for exactly what happened.

That’s one time when you don’t track down the animal and destroy her. She’s just doing her job.

Were they eaten before they were killed or after? It could change the whole story.

The hints about the audio content suggest screaming for help while Treadwell was being eaten alive and the girlfriend banging cookware to try to make the bears leave until she too was attacked and partially devoured. Nightmare material.

All I can say is big herbivores will kill you, too, if you mess with their kids.

I’ve noticed a lot of hippies headed up there the past few years.

70 yr old Alaska native should have known WAAAAY better. Surprised he lived as long as he did, doing stuff like that.
One of my scariest moments was when we were walking a trail in Rocky Mountain National Park and came around a corner to see a mother and baby moose. Pretty tense for a while!

Good hiking advice: always go with someone you can outrun if you need to.

I lived in Fairbanks AK for 32 years. You gotta give all wild animals plenty of space, especially when they are with their young. I had a cow moose chase me off a trail system while walking my dog once. I came to an trail intersection and spotted her 100 yards up the trail where I had planned to walk & as I turned around to go back she came charging down the trail at me. I skedaddled off the trail int some thick trees with my dog. She traveled past down the trail about 40 yards. I thought oh guess I can continue up the trail. I about 20 yards and then here she comes again, and I scoot off the trail again, and decide I’m just gonna make a bee line through the brush back towards my house. And I start off, and hear crashing coming through the brush and there she is again, at this time I still have my dog on the leash but have picked up a big branch & my heart is beating pretty fast. I wait a bit behind my tree and finally she clears out, I make my way home. It was in May, and I think she probably had a calf nearby and was making sure I kept clear. Moose are huge, ornery beasts at the best of times. Not smart to try and get close to a mom and calves.
