Moose don't fear man. It's not hard to get close to them. Worry more about them charging you then getting close.

Where do you get that idea from? Maybe true in extremely remote areas but not in areas where they have been hunted. One whiff of human scent and they are gone.
Now a large bulls in rut have been known to charge. But that isn't the norm.

I worked a gold claim in Alaska for 5 years. We fought off the grizzly's and ate the moose. I have experience with moose and they were easy to get close to.

We also have moose in Colorado, and i've never seen one run away. They stand their ground, or start to come at you. Even the cows.

Did this bull run away? It sure saw and heard the hunters. I'm sure I could find a cow doing the same thing. It's not the rut. moose will do this all year long.

I just found this. It's a perfect example of their lack of fear of man. This guy is really stupid and could have been hurt bad or killed.

Ive watched that one game warden show and up in maine, their moose run! just all depends on the pressure.

No one was hunting deer in our camping area within 5 miles and the deer would just stand and watch you drive by.

Want me to show a Maine hunt with the moose just standing there close and then being shot?

Did the moose run in the above videos?

There's a brother and sister moose in MB Jon. I'm guessing to didn't run into them when you were there. You'd be agreeing with me if you did. They charge me everytime I see them. I'd much prefer to run into a bear.

oh no doubt they will charge you. They are highly known to charge. I think i was a outdoor hunt with ted nugent in alaska and he had his bow. A moose charged and when it got less than 10 feet away, he let the arrow fly and took it right into the heart.
