and fool tourists run up to these creatures with cameras...

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/03/05/moo....ap/index.html

A moose being tranquilized took a chopper out of the air---no good outcome for the moose or the chopper.

I've seen people by the dozens pile out of cars and go running over boggy ground to get a photo of a moose feeding in a stream.

In Spokane there is one annual moose who likes to visit a residential swimming pool. No one argues with him.

This is as close as you will come to meeting the Pleistocene face-on.

Yep, the helicopter got hit with a SAM - a Surface to Air Moose.

LOL, Dan has done that. Not smart.

We see them at the state park, once in awhile behind the fence in the back yard. Last year, this is a 5' fence.
