This is an old story, but there was just a case of a guy in Alaska who got killed trying to take a picture of new born moose calves. There was another case at University of Alaska where students were throwing snowballs and a moose and her calves. In that case the guy who got killed was not one of those involved in harassing the moose.
Seems like sort of a fair fight, bow hunting moose. They are pretty big, you have to get close, and you probably can't get that many shots off.
Seems like moose are not predators and only attack when they feel threatened.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find Moose (Meese?) have a higher fatality rate than Bears. They don’t see very well and aren’t real bright. They are bad news and should be avoided. I think the flesh is pretty good eatin’.

I understand his sister suffered a terrible bite in the same attack

The hunter offered mutual combat. The moose accepted the challenge.

"Seems like moose are not predators and only attack when they feel threatened."Several years ago while hiking in the foothills of the Cascades, I stumbled
across a fully mature bull elk with a few cow elks and calves lounging about.
Not more than twenty feet away, I thought I was a goner, but the bull and
cows didn't bother getting up, hardly even glancing at me.

The moose is probably telling his buddies about the one he almost got.

I had a similar experience several years ago hiking in Albion Basin (above Snowbird). We encountered three bull moose browsing in a meadow which our trail passed through. We quietly maneuvered to some large nearby boulders and climbed on top. We peacefully observed these moose for about 20 minutes, with them approaching to as close as six feet to us. They weren’t too impressed by us, but they sure impressed us. It was awesome.
