Ok, you can bark at that....

Go, Deuce and family! "Mom, mom, mom! Come here quick and check this out!" You knew to call your mom so she could share this story with all of us! Great job! But it doesn't sound like the moose was too concerned with you all barking - is that typical for a moose? We have some white tailed deer who find their way to the edge of the forest preserve because there has been so much construction, (or even people's yards!) and they are quick to run away at the slightest sound. It's probably just as well so a car wouldn't hit them.

Wow, that very brave of you to take on a big old bull moose, Deuce. But I think next time you may want to leave the guy eat in peace until a more respectable hour.

Moose are, in general, not afraid of dogs. The main threat to moose around here are wolves. A moose that runs from a wolf pack will be killed. A moose who stands his ground has a pretty good chance of not becoming dinner. They look like docile, slow moving creatures, but they are actually suprisingly agile and nasty. They treat dogs like wolves. They'll stand their ground and start kicking. This guy obviously knew that Deuce couldn't get out of the fence. He was completely unconcerned by the woofing.
