We live in an area where moose also live, and a loose moose is the only kind of moose you will see around here. Moose are big, and they can be dangerous. It's best to just keep your distance and leave them alone. I was riding my bicycle down our dirt road a few years ago, glanced over in the woods to my left, and saw a moose in the trees just off to the side of the road. I kept right on pedaling and got out of there ASAP.
Hitting a moose with one's car is also a very bad idea. Nobody likes to hit anything with their car, of course, but moose are BIG and can cause a lot of damage to the car and the occupants upon impact. I know a guy who ran into a moose with his motorcycle, and he was in very bad shape for a very long time.
We don't see moose on our property very often, but some folks just a mile or so down the road see them frequently. I suppose moose have their favorite routes and paths through the woods, and we don't happen to be on one of those moose highways. I really am ok with that.
One of my daughters was on our trampoline in our yard with one of her friends many years ago, jumping and playing and squealing, and they looked up and saw a moose watching them not far away. They hastened into the house!
Five minutes is up...no more rambling on about moose today.
