Yes it makes it a good all terrain and highway ride.
Limited seating capacity though.............
Had a moose chase me around once walking my dog on the powerline in Fairbanks AK. Saw it on the trail ahead and thought well i’m not going that way. It then comes charging down the trail in my direction & I get of the trail into the woods and get a tree between us. The moose continues down the trail past my position quite a ways. I think ok she’s passed on by, I can continue. Im on down the trail about 25 yards, and here she comes again. I now decide I’m just gonna cut back through the woods towards my house and stay off the trail. Next thing I know she’s charging through the woods. I maintained a tree between us & picked up a big branch (all this time I have my dog on a leash close). She got my heart pumping, they are big animals. After this last bit she finally disappeared. Since it was calving time, I think she had a calf just of the Trail near the first place I spotted her and was protecting that whole area.
Yes but it merges any place you want to.
Some years ago, I went white water rafting up in Northern Maine.
We had to park a good ways away, and a bus picked us up to bring us to the place where we would shove off down the river from.
As we approached the place there was a giant moose, I mean HUGE. Massive antlers, it seemed like its face (not the antlers) came up to my level as I sat in the bus.
There was a woman standing a few feet away from the moose, snapping pictures with her camera, while the moose placidly chewed cud as it blankly regarded her.
The bus driver slowed down the bus and hissed in a low voice out the window “Get away from that moose, you damned idiot!”
He was muttering to himself as he drove away, and said to nobody in general (I have to paraphrase, it has been more than 30 years) “Unbelievable. Those things look like cows with that blank look, but if one gets a hair across their ass, especially in rutting season, those eyes go from cow-like to malignant in a flash and they can stomp you to death in short order!”
I blame Captain Kangaroo..................
Now, if she was walking her moose and got trampled by a dog...THAT would be NEWS !!!
...so she thought she had been hit by a bike....in the HEAD!
“Moose have horns don’t they.”
If they did she might have known this one was coming and pull to the right of the path.

Yep bet she was texting and didn’t hear it.
“Yep bet she was texting and didn’t hear it.”
It looked like she was just standing a few feet from the water staring and locked in a fog. She just did nothing to stay focused on the area around her.

Sorry on the previous post, it was aimed at the alligator article which could be viewed as the same lack of awareness.

No problem it happens
You win the “Most Humorous Post Award” for this thread. Well done.
These dogs are getting a lot of people killed. Leading humans into traps set by mooses and alligators. What next?
I believe you are getting them confused with democrats.
Mr Moose was not guilty.
