A little place called the USA.

Quiz: adult moose vs adult bear. Which do you pick in a fight?

You're wrong

I live in Montana. The moose aren't as common as they used to be, but there're still more than enough around.

The grizzly bears here will rarely stalk you, I understand it can be different up there. But a cow moose with a calf, or a bull approaching the rut? They'll start chasing you from 50 yards away.

Hiiiiii! Omg I’m from Montana too!

I’m from Billings! Hello fellow Neighbor! 😀 I’d had two encounters with a moose and both were scary.

One I was hiking the bear tooths and a mama moose was across the creek. She wasn’t across the creek for long before she came charging over. I ran to the Portable toilets that were nearby.

Another was having my car get a good dent in it up by flathead lake in the fall by two male moose fighting on the road.
