Jeep vs Moose

[Arkewn]

Camping this weekend in northern CO when we spotted a moose getting a drink down at the lake. It started moving towards our camp, its mannerisms seemed somewhat agitated (compared to other moose interactions I've had) so we evacuated the kids into the Jeep. Sure enough it ran right through the camp (with lit fire, tent, etc..) just feet from the Jeep. Clearly we were in-between where it was and where it wanted to go and didn't give AF what was in the middle. Fortunately no moose or humans were injured in this encounter...

Wow, glad you were alert to what nature had going on around you, and that everyone is safe and sound. The moose behavior definitely seems unusual to me as well, but my moose encounters have all been east coast moose ;-).

BTW, what a great camp site!

Nice job recognizing and staying out of its way.

If this was Rocky Mountain National Park someone would have walked up to it with their cell phone.
