Here in AK more people are seriously hurt by moose every year than bears...

My moose this past fall was a big bull fighting with another. After my bull "donated by default" all of his cows to the second bull I found myself with locked eyeballs on the winner bull at less than 15 yards. I started to get the idea he would not understand what I had done for him and got right into some thick stuff to prevent him from coming after me.

As kids we used to sneak up to feeding moose and see who could slap them and get away... had some dramatic responses and wonder how no one died... 50 years have changed my attitudes quite a bit toward that behavior.
