Jesus- How'd you like to meet this on your stroll thru the woods?

Damn, that's a big moose

[hlthe2b]

1. I'd be setting records scurrying up a tree. He's gorgeous though.

[Dem2theMax]

7. I'd be right behind you. Pushing you further up the tree so I could get up there too!

I think it was really nice of the Moose to stay to the right side of the road. Very polite moose.

[orwell]

2. It's the spirit animal of Teddy Roosevelt...

...coming back to claim what's left of the RePubLiCON party.

3. At least it's an herbivore.

Just don't startle the thing.

11. That herbivore goes into rut in the fall.

He has one thing on his little mind and if you're in his way, well ...

Also, he can be a victim of a parasite which attacks and destroys the brain and his behavior will become, shall I say, erratic.

He is a wild thing and sensitive about his personal space.

[WheelWalker]

16. Excellent points, all. Point #3 sums it up well. We, after all, are of predatory nature

and it's unlikely to respond with benign disinterest to human approach.

17. If they're not ill or in the mood for love,

they're usually easy going, not looking for trouble. However, a healthy mature bull can weight up to 1500 pounds. Best to let them go about their moosey business.

4. I would be exhilarated.

[apcalc]

5. As opposed to the orange Cockwomble?

I’ll take the moose!

[STING2]

6. Beautiful !!

Taking a leisurely stroll through the woods. I admire their beauty.

8. That happened to me once.

I was fly-fishing the Madison in Montana when a huge bull peered through some willows right in front of me. About 20 yards away. Easy 6-foot spread on his antlers. I slowly backed out of the river and proceeded to watch him for about 15 minutes. He just came out of the willows, glanced at me and meandered downstream away from my location. It was scary at first. I realize now that it was another god moment in my life. Just me and him. In the middle of nowhere. It was awesome.

9. But where was Rocky?

Bullwinkle seldom ventured out on his own.........

[sarge43]

10. Don't have to stroll thru the woods

They've strolled thru our yard or down the road.

[trueblue2007]

12. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL!!!!!!!!

[Wounded Bear]

13. I don't think they come in "small"...

[smirkymonkey]

14. They are huge!

I go up to Maine quite a bit to visit my sister and her family and always hope to see one, but I never do. They are such majestic creatures!

[we can do it]

15. I kinda did last year at Glacier NP. Hid behind a tree til he finally moved on.

[BluesRunTheGame]

18. I have - on a hike in the Whitefish Range.

Heard him before we saw him. They do not walk quietly.
