Is it illegal to carry a firearm in your neck of the woods?

WIFE: Honey, why are you putting on running shoes for our hike in the woods?
HUSBAND: So I can run from the grizzlies or mountain lions, if we encounter any of them. You just keep your hiking boots on.
WIFE: You can’t outrun a grizzly or mountain lion when they charge at you.
HUSBAND: All I have to outrun is YOU, dear...

I was about 200 feet from my home when I saw a baby moose in the middle of the road, no sight of mom but I resisted the temptation of getting out of my truck and taking a picture. As I pulled in my driveway I saw the mom pop out the brush in my mirror.This was in Connecticut.

".throw in a female with newborn calves and you have a recipe for exactly what happened."

But did he get the photo? That's what I want to know.

No, you can carry, but where I lived and the trails were only a mile and a half from University of Alaska campus. So close to town, the highway and paved roads, if there was a bear in the area there would of been reports. I had been skiing/walking on that trail for years & seen plenty of moose. Always gave them the trail and space and that was the first and only one to give me a scare.

“Did he get the pic?”

Not sure but if there was ever a good time to employ a camera mounted drone......that was it. 😏

This was an image I took in Homer back in 2014: I took a few more of this momma and twins, but I was in a car and we saw them on the main road and just pulled over to snap a few shots.

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

The difference is pretty academic, to be honest. And one mudhole looks pretty much like another.
