This is actually part of an organized animal revolt against NIAS.

Cow Moose?

I'm thinking, do we really need another Hillary thread?

But moose are normally big and gentle . . .

Really? I suggest the following links:

Moose Agression-Alaska DNR Site
Or
The last death by moose stomping in Anchorage was in January, 1995. Myong Chin Ra, 71, was walking on the University of Alaska campus when a cow moose charged. He died hours later of multiple head fractures and internal injuries.
So much for Gentle

This NEVER happens in Montana, because we figured out some time back that mooses should NOT be allowed to fly at the same altitude as commercial OR private aircraft.

Solved LOTS of problems.

Moose brings down chopper.

Actually, these helicopter equipped dummies brought down the moose.

After shooting it with a dart gun why would they allow themselves to be anywhere where they could be attacked by the not yet asleep moose?

Regards.

"But moose are normally big and gentle."

Since WHEN...???

Moose, of BOTH sexes, can be very belligerent and quite unpredictable. I know several hunters who have been treed by them whilst deer hunting, etc. They tend not to fear man. They've been known to purposely take on vehicles and even the occasional TRAIN....!!

no joke.

When a 1000+ pound animal charges you...they generally WIN the argument.

The funny part, for me anyway, is that the fish & game guys get all high and mighty about game and pretend like they never screw up.

Gee I had no idea I would run into so many moose experts on this thread. Frankly since I live in southwest Missouri my experience with moose is zero.

I stand corrected.

I'm glad the vicious psychotic killer moose is dead.

Feel better?
