That was awesome! Talk about counting cue on your game. Hat's off to the hunter in the video for keeping his drawers clean.

this video just shows you how stupid moose are

Looked to me like a yearling and her younger sib. Moose are naturally curious about people. The males, though, become erratic during the rut.

BTW Chad, they're actually pretty graceful when they move out. It's amazing how well they can negotiate some half-regrown clear-cut strewn with tops like it's not really there.

One late evening watching Mullen Slough on my shooting stool 7 September 89, had a cow do the same thing to the end of my muzzle of my Browning A-Bolt 338 Win Mag then she winded me. Sacred the crap out of her and me!
The next morning I went back to the same location and this beaver followed me all the way up the slough slapping its tale on the water. As I arrived at the same spot as the evening before. I looked to my left and said to myself, there is that stupid cow again! The thought of the same thought of same stupid cow didn’t last when a set of horns came out of the water! I watched the bull for a couple of minutes then I heard voices back down the trail coming my way. The only shot I had at 50 yards was behind the left ear and I took it. Crossing that creek was cold as hell to tie a rope to drag it back across.

That interesting video made the rounds about a year or so ago if memory serves. Chad, thats a tough animal. They can run across muskeg that a human can barely cross at all. I watched a large bull in a deep pond on Tanana River Flats (Ft. Wainwright) from an Army chopper one time. He would completely submerge for many seconds and come up with a mouth full of forage. They can walk or run thru waist deep snow and survive Alaskan winters on nothing but frozen Willow twigs. They are usually pretty thin by break up and move slow most of the time to conserve energy. Back in the winter of 84-85 a large calf died of starvation on one of our rifle ranges. It was a very bad winter with very deep snow and few young moose made it thru til Spring.

I don't think that I could have just stood there like he did. It was a cool video.

The moose isn't necessarily dumb. It most likely knows exactly what it's doing. They just aren't very scared of humans. If you were a moose, would you be?

Usually moose are pretty violent too. Especially when there are baby moose involved. I guess this one did not even see the hunter. Even though it looks fully aware that he is there and even starts sniffing his broadhead. I guess she didnt feel threatened...

ungraceful? ungainly?
youve apparently never watched bull moose moving through muskeg...what would take us hours to pick through a moose can traverse in minutes...and you dont need a howitzer to kill a moose...despite their size, moose are relatively easy to knock down... a 30.06 with good 180 grain bullets works kills them just as dead as a .375 H&H mag will, with less meat damage...

Buckhunter

You sure he kept his shorts clean? I bet not!

ha ha. well mousses are dumb i guess ( i still cant get over that the moose came right next to that hunter and bow, but i feel sorry for that hunter i know how he feels.
