When you set wolf snares, its inevitable that your going to tangle up a moose or caribou every now and then. Usually caribou break the snare but often moose just stand there. Have had a few friends shoot moose in the process.

Have a tape of a friend cutting the snare with sidewinders on a moose and he had a camcorder in his left hand. It was a yearling and had the snare around his neck. The closer he got to moose, the more the moose growled and finally you see the front hooves coming at ya and then picture goes black and you hear my buddy take the hit and howl out in pain. Pretty good. Most moose don't fight the snare like caribou so there standing there dumbfounded when you get there.

The front hooves are nasty and quick, but the rear hooves can disable a pickup truck. I know moose are hanging around the back yard, but they haven't come out on the road so far this winter. Got a lone female woodpecker working the same stand of willow for a couple weeks now, and an owl acting ghostlike. One with Nature, etc.
