The entire incident lasted about two minutes, Janis Powell said, and left she and her husband in shock.

After the moose left, they examined the trail and noted spots of blood and a dozen or so fully engorged ticks, she said.

“It had to be a sickly moose,” Janis Powell said. “If you look at the video it looks kind if mangy and had to be infested with ticks.”

That being the case, the warden to whom the Powells reported the incident said the moose was likely agitated long before they showed up.

Damn agitated moose running in front of you for so long, what was he thinking. And I know its your right to carry a firearm, but just out of curiosity....why? Going on a nice lesiurely ride, got my keys, gloves, wallet, gun.....
