BTW, did you scroll through the photos to the last page and watch the video?  That is a young, exhausted, small moose.... and it charged.  (Which is exactly what I would expect. I was like WTF is that old man walking up to it like that? He's damn lucky.)

...and I think that drunk bull had his horns on... and I'm not talking about antlers:) My man was drunk and snuck up on that tree from behind:)

Here's the rest of the story.  The photos were taken by an 11 year old kid who wanted to save his money up to buy something.  He took lots of pictures of the moose and then sold them to news agencies...

Interesting video.  Moose get up from the ground just like cows do (back end up first)...

I don't know much about Moose.  Are they quite cantankerous and charge a lot?  Though, that guy was just asking for it by coming so close.

>cantankerous and charge a lot?

Yep, and they absolutely HATE dog teams.  I've had more trouble and scare with them than bears.
