He was prolly trying to decide if he was hungry or not! :eek:

And where's your Boat Bell??

You ought to mount a lil Ding-a-Linger out on the bow - and
give a lil Ding-Dong when you approach a tight spot on the water.

He totally distoryed the car.The kids got out and ran like heck as the moose totaled the car.

Around here if you feed birds and dogs outside you can be fined during the spring and later summer. It is bear attracions and you put yourself and others at risk for Grizz attacks here.

Ya I heard some stories where the moose does more damage than the car. :eek:

Now that one strong and beautiful creature that I would love to see but probably in a zoo. Te hehe

Sounds pretty exciting, but I'm glad you didn't take time for a picture.
Better that you made away safely. :)

Wow! That must have been cool, and scary too. I though their would be pictures too, but I guess if I was in the situation I'd just be trying to get away.(unless someone was with me that could paddle away) I never knew Moose were mean creatures. :eek:
