Bull moose are not as common in attacks as you would think, because first off more cows than bulls and hunters go after the bulls, most of the time its the mama cow defending her calves, I saw a man get trampled once at the UAA parking lot in Anchorage, I think it was either 92 or 93, the moose run freely even in the big city and this guy simply walked between her and her calves so she charged him and stomped him dead. people think the mama cows are harmless, far from it they are the ones the most dangerous.

I spent the better part of a cold winter morning in 1977 playing peek-a-boo with a cow moose on what used to be Elmendorf AFB. Keeping a birch tree between us as she tried to stomp me into the snow was quite invigorating.

If you see a cow moose, ears laid back, hackles up....you're too close. They are afraid of nothing, including freight trains.
