Are there really moose around here?

I live off RT 109 as well and almost hit one at about 6:30 in the morning......On my Harley...

The damn thing never budged. Just stood there looking at me coming at him.
good thing I was actually doing the speed limit and was able to stop. After a minute or two looking at me, it just sauntered into the low brush along side the road. I now look very carefully along the roadside when I am on my bike in that area.

I believe they walk down the Snowmobile trails as well, because I saw some very large tracks a few weeks ago after the first snow. Of course it could have been a behemoth Buck.

Moose have very bad eyesight and the young ones are very inquisitive. Almost friendly. But be careful if one starts to come up to you......

This has to be one of the best moose videos I have seen. The hunter does not shoot by the way. Can you imagine.....
