Yes, we are speculating, and I for one will be interested in seeing the outcome from the Maine F&G dept.

Thanks for your thoughts, though.

I don't disagree with you, but the facts we don't know are what happened before the video starts.

Don't get me wrong, I would not have done what he did (I would have stopped to watch the moose), but I wasn't there so it is hard to say for sure.
