Two years ago, I had a bull moose tell me who's the boss. My partner was down the hill pointing his finger and laughing. When I turned around, I saw what he thought was so funny! And I was directly in it's path.

Many folk's make the mistake of taking on a angry bull moose, so have many trains, cars, etc. I kept my rifle handy as I slid down the hill. He lived, and unfortunately for our yankee friends, so did I..

Nice Picture, BTW!!!

Many folk's make the mistake of taking on a angry bull moose, so have many trains, cars, etc.

I worked one winter up in Alaska. The moose walk on the train tracks because they are cleared of snow, and the moose don't get out of the way for the trains. Dozens of moose, sometimes several hundred, will be killed by trains in a single season depending on how much snow there was that winter. Here's an old article: Train kills 24 moose one night.

People along the train line will often salvage what meat they can from a train-killed moose. You think I'm kidding? It's better than food stamps. See: Instructions for Road-Killed Moose.

That's Alaska for you.

On the other hand, hitting a moose with a car usually pretty much totals the car. I barely missed a moose that ran out onto the highway from some woods. Scared the bejeebers out of me.
