Cranky moose — LOL. Luckily we don’t have five feet of snow in North Idaho.

Thanks for posting!

During the Iron Dog Snow Machine race, either last year or the year before, there was one section of trail where the moose were hanging out. They’d much rather follow/hang out on a snow machine trail rather than trying to make their way through deep snow. They do not like efforts to try to chase them off the trail. One fellow who was trail breaking for racers had a moose encounter where the moose ran by and kicked his snow machine in passing - did some damage, too.

The Iditarod overlaps with the Iron Dog in places so the dog teams could also encounter grumpy moose.

That’s a new one on me!

Moose are always cranky and dangerous.

Cranky moose. The meth problem has really gotten out of hand. But at least you don’t have to worry so much if it bites you.

Silly author.

You are not going to outrun a moose.

With a moose, you might, at least attempt to climb a tree.

Not so much with a grizz.

Your best bet is a 12 guage semiauto shotgun loaded with buck and slugs or a semiauto rifle with .308 cal or better.

Back that up with a pistol or revolver of sufficient power.

My thoughts exactly.

The poor critters in Alaska. In some ‘hoods they get all the beer, peanuts, and cheese they want.

Where’s the love?

If someone is out and about in the park with -40 and 5 feet of snow he is probably a good match for a moose. I’d give him a wide berth, both of them, man and moose.

It must be the Gorebull warming the liberals talk about.

Is this another instance of white privilege, rearing its ugly head?

[Daffynition]

Outrun? Yeah sure.

[Jane Long]

Yikes!

Whose sister is that, on the snowmobile?

[dforest]

I feel like that a lot lately and I am not a moose and it is not snowing.

[Daffynition]

Good night moose.
