Bull Moose in rut have been know to attack locomotives, and semi trucks. They will attack just about anything that moves. The are probably the most dangerous animal in the woods during their mating season.

"Would a .45 stop a moose?"

“Fish and Game responded to the incident and located the deceased moose.”

‘E’s passed on! This moose is no more! He has ceased to be! ‘E’s expired and gone to meet ‘is maker! ‘E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ‘e rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed ‘im to the perch ‘e’d be pushing up the daisies! ‘Is metabolic processes are now ‘istory! ‘E’s off the twig! ‘E’s kicked the bucket, ‘e’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-MOOSE!!

LOL, Ha! I figured it would. I constructed a target with 2x12’s sandwiching 6” of coarse sand, and my .45’s shells blew a whole through the whole thing after one season of target practice. My guess is that I could probably bring down an elephant with two hits between the eyes, but I hope I never have to find out.

Probably tried to milk it.

Bull moose are known to respond unkindly to such attempts.

I suspect that cows with calves account for many more problems.

“...he stopped his vehicle so the moose could pass safely in front of him. He was more than a little surprised when the moose chose to actually cross the hood of his vehicle, crushing the hood and the carburetor beneath it...the local guy had an uneventful walk back to town.”

“Apparently eyesight is not a strong suit for moose...”


Correct-a-mundo!

Pity he did not have a later year El Camino with fuel injection...

(OK, that last bit was sarcasm).

Great story! Thanks!

No doubt about that...but the moose of this story was a bull, and you wouldn’t want to drink straight from the bucket like that...
