My sister was biitten by a moose.<BR/><BR/>But to answer your question most of us do NOT get that close to moose (there are a few people who intentionally feed them, but this is a Bad Idea.) Typically, wild moose are pretty dangerous, and while I've never heard of anyone being bitten by one, they CAN in fact kill you by staving in your skull with one good rap from one of those big giant hooves. As a general rule, I try to stay inside a house or vehicle (or at least within jumping-in distance) if one is in my driveway or yard. They mostly leave you alone if you keep a reasonable distance, but if you push them (by crowding them, or approaching a cow with calves), they think nothing of running you down and trying to stomp you to death. They're pretty scary when they get pissed.AKDDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533003137934379516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589783647802842771.post-84382226402649934622008-08-27T05:24:00.000-07:002008-08-27T05:24:00.000-07:00"Moose bites can be nasti" is something of an insi..."Moose bites can be nasti" is something of an inside joke.
