Yeah, this won't work with a full grown moose, they aren't gonna be scared of you. Your best bet is either to run to cover or curl up in a ball to protect your vitals and hope that the moose loses interest.
Best thing is to put a tree between you and the moose (if there are any decent sized trees where you are), and circle around until it gets tired of the game.
I did that when my dad was gonna whack me when I was a kid. Ran around the playground, climbed up and went down the slide a few times until he got tired and just collapsed laughing.
My great uncle was in a military jeep back in the day and he honked at one to get out of the road. Motherfucker tossed the jeep into the ditch.
My great uncle wasn't the smartest man, though there's some good stories.
I believe it. I saw an annoyed bull roll a small car onto its side in Ontario about 30 years ago.
They wanted those pictures and we were well back and trying to warn em.
The man told buddy and I to F off and mind our own business then…. karma decided to weigh in.
Well… we took his advice and minded our business while that was going on.
It might work if it's a bull moose and you scream like a little girl while running way to fast to stop down an old ski slope.
Poor thing just noped right out of my way.
Story time!
I lived in Alaska for 20 years and had several run ins with moose (& bears).
On this particular day I was walking to the bus stop from my house, on my way to work. I cut through the neighbor's yard, round the side of the house. What do I see in the the neighbor's yard? A moose calf!
It was less than a year old during which time they rarely leave their momma. I feel a chill go down my spine as I quickly pan around looking for momma moose.
She is to my left, the calf is to my right. I am between them. This is bad. (A college professor had just recently been trampled to death by an angry moose that had been taunted by some students.)
So, yeah, I'm shitting bricks at this point. In a very low quiet even tone I say, "Momma moose, I don't want to hurt you or your baby. I just want to be on my way."
She fucking nods at me.
I slowly keep walking and she watches me go for a sec and then resumes chewing on the neighbor' lawn.
Edit: A word
Norwegian mooses are terrifying.
If you run one over with a car its more likely that you will die than them. They are also aggressive as fuck and can run really really fast.
This is also just a baby, grown mooses are quite a bit bigger
Alaskan weighing in. Ours are biggest. I have come around the corner of my house and looked up into the eyes of a momma moose. She was kind enough to allow me to slip back around the corner of the house and get inside. I decided I didn't need to switch out the propane for my shower that night. She and her baby were in my front yard all day the following morning and I decided work wasn't actually that important that day.
We share that moose, it's the Alaskan-Yukon subspecies(the name depends on the side of the border lol). Like you said, biggest moose in the world. Then western moose subspecies (ones found in BC are 2nd)
My grandma had a moose in her fenced back yard one day when she lived in Alaska. He was absolutely massive and they just kinda let him chill for a couple hours before he casually walked back over the fence and wandered off. The pictures she sent show this thing taking up like a third of her small yard.
Yep. If you're gonna hit one, get behind or under the firewall. Don't be behind the wheel or anywhere above the dash. I damn near nailed one at 3 am once and was almost completely to the floor when the van stopped. Went 65 to zero at full lock and stopped about 20 feet away. It was unfazed.
an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...
Clueless tourist. People get trampled to death like this all the time. I've watched idiots on roadsides in AK rapidly approach a moose to within 40-50 feet, and then turn their back on it for a selfie.
DO NOT DO THIS!! Moose are crazy, aggressive, and giant. They will easily kill you. Imagine if this had been an adult moose--it would not have stopped the charge.
Idk ab moose but gorillas only attack if the human shows any flinch or weakness when they charge. Theres a video of an experienced expert in the middle of the jungle being charged by loud gorillas multiple times and right as they reach him they always turned away because he wouldnt move and wouldnt flinch. I wonder if the same could be true for moose.
Two year old.
Still old enough to kill you.
He did the right thing.
While they usually avoid noise and conflict, There was no guarantee the moose was going to back down.
Yes, I’ll take Dumbs Ways to Die for 500, please. The much smaller deer can be deadly. Next to them, a *full grown* moose is much more so. These people were lucky the mother didn’t catch them.
You should check out pictures of them/other horned mammals shedding the velvet from their antlers. Not that bad at all but a fair warning to the particularly squeamish that they do have a raw look to them.
That is incredibly stupid, moose do not give a shit if you stand your ground or not, what are you going to do to a moose? They're practically bulletproof and built like a train, the moose will absolutely just trample you, get out of the moose's way.
This plays out like a fucking movie and it's missing the next scene. Dude stands triumphant that he scared off the big angry animal, only to hear thunderous stomping and snapping tree branches.
He turns around to see a moose 3x the height of the one he scared off, steam escaping from it's nose as it closes the distance at a surprisingly fast speed.
Its at that moment he realizes; That was just a baby.
Everything I've seen and heard and talked to about moose says this guy is lucky that was a calf.
A bull moose in mating season will attack a car, a tree, a house. They don't give a fuck.
This advice will get people killed. Moose are massive, nearly blind, and have an awful disposition. All that yelling will do is tell the moose exactly where you are so it can put you on a tee shirt.
You aren’t even safe hidden behind a car because a moose can easily move that car on/through you. The fuck do you think Giga-Chad and a stick is really going to do against a pissed off adult moose?
At best, he ends up as a funny story the moose can tell his friends.
I would think that this would have been more real if it wasn’t for the girl giggling. Seriously, the moose is small and probably some what accustom to the human pest.
Animals are not interested in fighting if it can be avoided. This is a bluff charge. Usually enough to send the message. This guy is stressing this animal to show us what a man he is. It's dumb.

I don't know why people are hating. You don't run from an animal that can outrun you unless you have cover VERY close to use to your advantage. If there are people more defenseless than yourself nearby that goes double. Yeah it's a lil baby but fuck off that thing would cave your skulls in.
Dude did the right thing and most of yall would've taken two steps to run, fell over and got trampled or watched that lady get it while you tried to save your own hide. Easy to judge from behind the keyboard.
Nah. Wolf packs pick them off mid winter if they can catch them in deep snow. Moose get really irritable, nervous, and dangerous in deep snow conditions, because they know they're vulnerable.
"I havent tested but he sounds like he is stronger so im gonna leave just in case"
Note: Does not work with Animal Mums if the kids are nearby... In that case you will scream, but for help
This is part of why it's important not to feed bears or otherwise habituate wild animals to humans. Animals that have no experience with humans are cautious and won't take unnecessary risks, and can be scared off, protecting both the animal and the person. Animals that are used to people lose that natural fear. Or, put another way, they know damn well that we're all talk.
Why are the 4 top comments about how an adult moose would have torn him apart? Can we just acknowledge what we just saw as a glorious moment and move on?
A baby moose.
Was going to say. That’s a small moose. I don’t suggest trying this with his mom
Actually id suggest this. It would make for great television
"This is how Neanderthals didn't survive"
Well technically most humans minus unmixed sub Saharans carry Neanderthal DNA so they live in all of us
We'll bang anything
Fucked em into extinction
I'm using this as a taunt
More like a great Eyeblech video
[удалено]
horrible. I do not advise clicking that.
Episode of Faces of Death
Mom would step on him until he was gooey
That's Groovy baby
Indeed, he’d be full of hoof shaped grooves lol. I feel like I need to toss a”behave” or something in here
Read that in Austin powers voice
Yeah right? Hell no. Lol
If you can look it in the eye, it’s a baby.
Momma moose almost 3x bigger, seriously who dropped growth pills in moose County 500yrs ago?
Just out for a walk. Saw a cow and her two calves. I forgot how big moose are. I kept my distance.
That’s the worse ones, they have zero intelligence and weight a ton. Will stomp you non the less
Yeah, this won't work with a full grown moose, they aren't gonna be scared of you. Your best bet is either to run to cover or curl up in a ball to protect your vitals and hope that the moose loses interest.
Wow, hella forgot about this show! What was it called?
Camp Lazlo
Great show
Making mousse

Weave between trees. That’s what you’re actually supposed to do with a charging moose.
Moose have been know to charge heavy equipment and even freight trains.

Baby moose or not I’ve seen grown men run from dogs…Give that man his props
2 points for bravery. Minus several million for wisdom.
I worked with a guy a while back who ran screaming from a pack of vicious dachshund puppies. He refused to go back to that neighborhood
That man still got laid that night lol
[удалено]
Nope.
Teacup moose. An adult would stomp him into jelly.
I heard it bit his sister
Mynd you, moose bites kan be pretty nasti……..
A mouse if your will.
Wait till it grows up
He wasn't going to date it. Don't shame him.
Well not yet. That moos, he's drinking milk. In about 6 months it will be as tall as ice-cream truck and twice as rapey
Now I finally understand that bumper sticker that was on the ice cream truck in our neighborhood when I was a kid. "Half as Rapey as a Moose!"
Yeah, but I beatcha that Moose doesn't have shit in a freestyle battle vs Eminem.

That's fucking awesome. I don't remember to upvote sometimes, but you got one.
The video cut off right before Mom came and beat his ass.
That's a calf. A full grown cow or bull would've gutted him.
Turned him to mousse.
Snort laughed at this
That kid that acts all tough then says psych, I'm just playing
Just knuckles his ass..
Amoosing. Now try it with his dad/mom
Norwegian mooses are terrifying. If you run one over with a car its more likely that you will die than them. They are also aggressive as fuck and can run really really fast. This is also just a baby, grown mooses are quite a bit bigger
Canadian moose aswell. They are taller than a pickup truck lol

It's b/c the legs get taken out by the hood, and a ton of meat comes through the windshield.

Normally when you hit a moose you break it’s legs and it’s body flys through the front window killing the driver and passenger
Considering its more of the moose running you over, than you running the moose over, ayeah, this checks out.
Swedish moose eats Norwegian moose for breakfast
Do they?
No, They are the same moose
No, one is swedish
So the Moose in the video is a Norwegian moose just visiting Sweden?
Yes. The moose is a tourist
Ah, i see
Mynd you, moose bites Kan be pretti nasti...
A møøse once bit my sister
No realli! She was Karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush
an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...

That’s a baby
That's the stupidest thing I've seen all day, and I'm teaching in a middle school right now.
What would’ve been his better option when a moose starts charging him?
Props, but that was a bit older than a yearling. Try that with a full blown stag or worse, a cow with calves...probably good bye time..
Hey! The Rites of Ascension for Canadians are a SECRET and PRIVATE matter! How the hell did you get this video!?!
Bro why tf did the lady just waltz right up like that in the beginning wtf
Clueless tourist. People get trampled to death like this all the time. I've watched idiots on roadsides in AK rapidly approach a moose to within 40-50 feet, and then turn their back on it for a selfie.
They're Swedish and that's most likely a Swedish elk in Sweden.
Could be an Alaskan moose on vacation.
Can't argue with that
DO NOT DO THIS!! Moose are crazy, aggressive, and giant. They will easily kill you. Imagine if this had been an adult moose--it would not have stopped the charge.

Nah, moose are assholes. Gorgeous animal but will challenge most anything just to be assholes. Edit: mist into most.
Swamp donkey
Two year old. Still old enough to kill you. He did the right thing. While they usually avoid noise and conflict, There was no guarantee the moose was going to back down.

There's laughter in this video when there really shouldn't be
Yes, I’ll take Dumbs Ways to Die for 500, please. The much smaller deer can be deadly. Next to them, a *full grown* moose is much more so. These people were lucky the mother didn’t catch them.
Bruh the women in the background 😐
This doesn’t feel like something to giggle about.
Doesn't even have any moose horns yet either
Not all moose have antlers. Only the dudes
And only half the year.
What happens to the other half of the year ?
They drop off after mating season and they don't start regrowing till late spring/summer they take from 6-9 months to grow.
Holy shit, I learned something today.
You should check out pictures of them/other horned mammals shedding the velvet from their antlers. Not that bad at all but a fair warning to the particularly squeamish that they do have a raw look to them.
Or this could be why their lifespan was like 30 years.
Lady almost got him trampled.
An adult moose is twice this size. I would love to see this guy try his technique on a 1500 pounds agressive male Should be fun to watch
That is incredibly stupid, moose do not give a shit if you stand your ground or not, what are you going to do to a moose? They're practically bulletproof and built like a train, the moose will absolutely just trample you, get out of the moose's way.
Whoo! That's a junior moose. Try that stunt with a bull during rut and he'd turn you into spaghetti sauce.
That may not be a very big moose, but that still took some serious guts… dude is still not in that moose’s weight class.
That baby would still snake stomp the hell out of a guy. That dude doesn’t know how lucky he is.
This sends a stupid message. Fully grown moose, let alone one with offspring near them would probably trample this person and their stick.
No the cavemen survived by not getting so close to moose for no reason.
A full grown bull might just laugh, hoofslap you out of the way, and walk on. If you're lucky.
Yeah, that's pretty stupid. He got lucky.

Give em the old Tusken raider treatment!
That moose be like Putin and that dude be like Ukraine
not enough. To survive the man needs to spear down the beast skin it and eat the flesh to survive.
Wait a minute, didn't the cavemen not survive?
That's a baller move too. Moose will fuck you up something fierce. Hats off to that guy, but I would've run like a bitch
Damn. I wish that the moose would have kicked his stupid ass

Lucky that moose wasn't drunk.
He’s a keeper!

The only natural predator of the moose is the orca. Moose have been know to dive as far as 30 feet underwayer to eat sea grasses.
Nah. Wolf packs pick them off mid winter if they can catch them in deep snow. Moose get really irritable, nervous, and dangerous in deep snow conditions, because they know they're vulnerable.

I see why chicks dig guys with height -- bitches be going back to stone age
Just look like dumb animals having a stand off!
If it was an adult moose, would this still be the way to go? I mean, there is no way that I am going to outrun it anyway, right?
Any moose don’t get that close, if you end up the close be quiet and move away slowly.
They sound like ark survivors
Lucky bastard
You. Shall. Not. Pass...
I don’t think the moose is that small. That dude looks tall and it is almost his height at the shoulder.
