Yeah, at certain times of year I'd be way more wary of them than any predator.

The story is a bit more complicated. Students on the campus in Anchorage Alaska were throwing snowballs at the moose, thus creating an angry cow moose. The old man (in his 70s) was mostly blind so really did not realize what he was walking into when he left the campus library.

That's what I cringe whenever I see the group of tourists with their little Canadian flags in Jasper and Banff  20 feet from a bear, moose, or elk snapping pictures.

Tormented, with young what a recipe for a disaster.

there is one showing 2 guys on skidoos following a moose down a trail and the moose comes back after them trashing one sled. if you harass any wild animal in any way you deserve, hello it is a WILD animal.
