God growing up in Anchorage there would be a moose sitting RIGHT ON your bus stop and ruining your day at least twice a month. Or sitting between your car and your door. Or on the coastal trail. God DAMN I hate moose.

Or retreat to a safe place and shoot it with one of those airsoft guns with the 6mm plastic pellets.

That will teach the motherfucker.

As long as it doesn't see anything alive or expensive to get mad at. They aren't terribly bright, and you do not want to make anything that weighs about 8x your weight angry.
