My most memorable encounter with a moose was while driving a HMMWV (hummvee). I was going through the woods on a training exercise near Calais, ME (the army uses that area for training a lot, AKA Deep woods, ME), and came around a corner to find a moose staring at me like she was asking me "Hey, I own this place, what are you doing here?". I didn't know a Hummvee could stop that quickly. We sat there staring at each other for a minute, and then she went back into the woods, and disappeared like a ghost. she can't have gone more than 10-20 feet into the woods and you couldn't see her.
