He was standing, then he laid down. I don't go creeping around a bull moose. They tend to be a bit crotchety.
LOL... that's why I asked. My next question was going to be what kind of life insurance does your family have on you.
In the evenings at the cottage, I would pile everyone in the van and we would take a drive thru the park on the logging roads.
One evening, driving along, I suddenly exclaimed "Oh look! A baby moose!"
My MIL, riding shotgun, turned to look at me and said... "where, where!"
I replied, "just look out your side window." Now this was a full size passenger van, not a mini-van. This baby probably about 4 months old? if even! about the same size as yours in the pic. and was eye level with her and less than 2 feet from her! Her reaction was priceless. The kids in the back were hysterical with laughter!
It kept following us... argh - I was worried that he would follow us too far from his mom.
Another time, while out riding on my trusty Quarterhorse, I came across 2 extremely agitated women on their WarmBloods (a little taller than my horse!) They were upset as a baby moose - the same size as their mounts - was following them. I'm not too sure who was more nervous, the ladies or their horses.
Guess baby thought he would join the herd! I was a little nervous myself as I wasn't sure just where mommy was. Didn't want her to think we were mooseknapping her baby! If he was our size... how big was she! Don't remember but think the scent of my dog finally drove baby off into the woods. Ladies went their way and I went mine.
