Something about Moose and the hospital greenage that attracts them.

Go to YouTube and search “Moose Stomping” or ‘Moose attack”.

That animal could easily kill a person in short order.

and was driving down a two lane road and came face to face with a bull moose. I came to compete stop and it was a stare down. I knew not to blow my horn or move forward or it would have attacked. I mean this animal was huge. Eventually he slowly left the roadway and back into the wilderness.

Very visible and tempting snack for a moose and easy access.

Maybe it was looking for medical attention.

(But that rate is in New England; I hope it’s not so bad in Alaska. It’s really sad here. Moose are now seldom seen even in Maine’s largest State Park. It’s the ticks.)
