+1Check with Doc Brown. Pretty sure he knows them!
On a backpacking trip in the Tetons, we were on the last day of a 4 night outing, almost done with the loop, and saw a cow moose ahead of us standing maybe five feet off the trail...staring us down. It was the time of year we guessed that she had a calf somewhere behind her. We couldn't turn around and go back, and after waiting for what seemed like forever with her not moving, we decided we had to give it a go. My father-in-law (yeah, the fact that the in-laws were on a 4 night backpacking trip with us is a whole other story) has a lot of experience with this type of thing, having been stationed in Alaska for a number of years. He told us we should be good if we just walk nice and steady along the trail and make no sudden moves, especially in her direction.Always gotta watch out for the cats, sneaky little bastards never hear them come up on ya
think the scariest I’ve come across in the bush is a moose. Big ol bull standing on the trail as I came around a corner. Put the jeep in reverse and slowly back up
my Mother just caught a cow and calf on their trail cams up at camp the other weekend
Yep, Moose > Bears on pucker factor.On a backpacking trip in the Tetons, we were on the last day of a 4 night outing, almost done with the loop, and saw a cow moose ahead of us standing maybe five feet off the trail...staring us down.

I'm not sure it was the smartest thing we ever did, but we got past. Her head was following us the entire time until we were out of line of site. I think that had me more nervous than the time I saw the bear (different trip, but also in the Tetons).

Bet both of these guys know them!
-- if the shoe fits.... (I like the green ones)umm...is that a "crayon eater" joke?
I am doing my part, not for the state but because of the price they charge for water here.I'm new here but I sure see a lot of wasted water by folks with their lawns. Some just need a little adjustment and it would be better, but there's some serious waste going on. I feel pretty good that I had my front yard converted to xeriscape and drip irrigation. Doin my part! lol
Who is?I'm 35
Not the youngest in here either.
