I can’t say as I have been that close to any moose CI except the one that got up after he was knocked down from a shot.

Jake just reminded me of a time that I had walked threw the woods to a meadow going fishing on a stream. As I got to the stream and started fishing a calf moose stood up on my left. This was before moose was very common and I don’t believe that I had ever seen a calf before. Then one stood up on my right and foolish me thought someone’s ponies got loose or something. So I tried to call them and suddenly I hear a big crash coming from the other side as big momma was making a run straight towards me. I never bothered to reel in and run as fast as I could back into the woods that I came out of.. I can honestly say I was scared on that one.
