I read up on some deer that lived long ago, the thing was actually huge but this in the video, is huge in itself as well.
The thing about moose is they don't care. They go where they want and do what they want. Best advice is to not mess with them.
My brother crossed paths with a cow with a calf moose while out elk hunting. He had to flee for his life, down through the pines, with the cow hot on his heels. Scared the heck out of him.
We had a neighbor who told us this story. He and a friend were headed up through the high desert here in Idaho, also going elk hunting. They came to a moose track, in fresh snow, headed up the road. Another pickup came up behind them in a big hurry. When they got to a spot wide enough this other pickup went roaring around them. A couple of miles further here sat that pickup. He and his friend got out to see what was going on. This other pickup had caught up to the moose making the track, a big bull. They said they started honking their horn, flashing their lights, trying to get the moose off the road. They said the moose turned around and using its front legs, it stomped the hood of their pickup down. Put a hole in the radiator and left a perfect imprint of the air cleaner in the hood, leaving them dead in the water. They said the moose left off the attack, turned around, and went ambling back up the road.
Don't mess with moose. They will kill you. Without looking it up I would bet more people are injured by moose than by bears.
