I agree, he should have finished it off. Hopefully he went right back and finished it.

I hope he gets prosecuted.

The moose was comming his way at the very begining. Crazy for sure!

I would have kept my distance. If I was dumb enough to move up on the moose, and saw that it was bent on coming my way, then I would have backed up....

I would never have though his actions would make a moose do that. Wild. And thats what Id have told any LE. Is this how all moose act?

Care to explain why you feel this way?

Post by: washelkhunter on February 27, 2014, 01:47:17 PM: What was so important that the rider couldn't have made every attempt to wait the moose out. It's winter and the moose has all the right of way. It's her environment and home. He clearly provoked an agitated animal and made the situation worse. He could have thrown his machine in reverse and given it more room, instead he revs his engine and advances upon it.

I don't play relative "what if" games. I prefer to stick to the issue at hand. you can go off in the weeds if you want tho. I hope I get the call for jury duty on this one if it goes to trial.
