Moose Calf

There have been two different moose calves in our yard this winter, but this one in particular has been spending the night! They have felt so comfortable as to come up to our front window and Levi and I have both been within inches of the moose with just glass in between. The moose are pretty fun to watch and add to our entertainment almost daily! Last Sunday we were coming home from church and we saw a moose chasing a man on a bicycle! We signaled to the man that he had a moose at almost full speed behind him, but the man looked at us like we had no right to be honking at him. He finally looked behind him and I'm sure he was a little scared. We talked to him after the moose had passed and he said that he had no idea she was even there. Scary! I guess I need to be careful when I am running with my ipod!

I know what to do if I have a bear encounter, but what do you do in the event of a moose encounter?

Some say to run around a tree if there is one close by because moose can't move in a circle very fast!
