    Speaking as a Canadian: moose really are that kind of absolute unit.
    My dad was a truck driver and, when I was very small, he was hauling empty trains (two trailers behind one truck) east of Sault Ste. Marie. We came around a bend doing roughly 80 kilometers an hour, and there was a large bull moose standing in the road. My dad swerved - missed the moose with the cab and the first trailer. The second trailer caught the moose by the antler. The truck's weight and momentum threw the moose about 40 feet in the air; the moose's weight threw us into a fishtail and into the ditch.
    The moose came down on the pavement, flat on one side. I will never forget the sound of his indignant "Hmph!" as he got up and strode majestically into the bush, leaving us to sort out our own business.
    That having been said, a bull moose isn't the thing I worry about most when I'm in the wilderness. What truly worries me is a cow moose, with a calf I don't see. Bull moose are accustomed to display, and will give you ample warning, the same as they would a rival bull. A cow moose with bebes has a hair's breadth between tolerating your presence and "that's far enough; time to trample a bitch."

      The 2 things that are actually scary in the woods:
      Getting between a big mama and her kids. (Death sentence, anything that would normally flee is instead trying to kill you)
      And big herbivores. Predators have to hunt for their next meal so they have to do some risk/reward calculation, and generally humans are weird enough to not have enough meat on our bones to be worth the unknown threat. Herbivores don't, and instead either flee from everything or throw their immense bulk around to crysh all resistance beneath their hooves. Moose are the latter, and while they can be docile, anything that big should not be messed with.
      Its just like how the deadliest animal in Africa is the Hippo, even with all the big predators its the fat herbivore that is the most dangerous. (Not counting mosquitoes, malaria has killed about half of all humans to ever live)

    North America had giant sloths, giant saber toothed cats, dire wolves, wooly rhinos, mammoths, camels, a deer the size of a moose called the stag-moose, and even a giraffe/elephant hybrids called the Pareceratherium that was big even by elephant standards (edit: location error here, see adreabrooks11's correction below).

    A story shared at our last fishing trip. A bunch of commercial fishermen caught a moose crossing a lake. They decided they wanted to try and drown it. They tied their boat to the antlers of the animal and attempted to tire it out and put its head underwater. Little did they know a sandbar was coming up. The moose got its legs under it and hoisted the entire boat out of the water jettisoning the occupants of the boat. The boat was found 300 feet off the shore in the bush. All humans had some kind of serious injury.

    I've been blessed with being able to grow up with these incredible animals in my backyard. My childhood home sat surrounded by swampland and the moose loved it. Sometimes I'd wake up to one at my bedroom window. One in particular stuck around our area for /years/. A huge bull with fur so dark it looked black, we called him Judge. He liked to hide in the shade under the pines by the road. He blended in so well there that one time a neighbour walked right by him on her jog and she didn't see. I remember freaking out and worrying he might run at her, but he didn't.🤷

    I was raised in Newfoundland (that big island on the East Coast of Canada). Moose are a big problem there (quite literally). Growing up I remember getting a basic "survival" class on Moose (and other animals) and the lesson boiled down to: if you're in the woods, climb a tree, and if you can't climb a tree run between the trees where you think a moose would have a harder time reaching you (they're big and strong, but they're not uprooting trees, and Lord knows they can't corner as well as a human can), a Moose may be faster in a straight line but you should be more nimble among the trees than a Moose is. If you're not in the woods, seek shelter of any kind and RUN and hope and pray you get under/behind something solid before that Moose gores you or tramples you.
    Moose are also among the leading causes of car accidents in Newfoundland (they certainly were when I was growing up anyway). It's to such an extent that the provincial government installed Moose fences; giant 6+ foot tall steel fences along vast swaths of open highway to greatly reduce potential crossing sites for Moose, and thus accidents.

      I'm in the States but my home town is along the Canadian boarder. We have one goose couple that actually stays here during their breeding season. An entire plot of land near our waterfront is inaccessible while they are here. Those beasts are no joke and I feel horrible for other places that have to put up with more than one pair at a time.

      I can testify to the geese. I work on a golf course that is so considerate of wildlife (the golfers are well-heeled and they are proud of the audabon certification, and probably all watched Banbi as kids...) that the geese basically run the place, crap all over particular holes, and must be herded gently away if a goose emergency is declared. We used to have a very pissy goose that insisted on nesting on a decorative water feature, hissing at golfers if they tried to pass by in one of the busiest areas near the club house. Nobody moved her. For YEARS.
      Hopefully we won’t have any moose decide the welcome mat is out. Don’t laugh..we are next to the river valley, a corridor for wildlife. We had 3 dens of coyotes one year, lots of deer, and cute but destructive wild rabbits. I’m part of the horticulture department. Sigh.... People romanticize wildlife. It’s our biggest problem.

    I was 15 in 1968, walking with my dog, Clementine, on an old mining road in northern Ontario. Saw what I thought were two horses, escaped from a local farm, on the road ahead. Then I noticed they weren’t horses. Horses don’t have antlers. It was two moose blocking the road ahead. Moose stomp people into jelly, smash us with their enormous racks, chase anything, fear nothing. Or so it seems.
    Clementine and I were trapped on that road for 15-20 minutes until the moose wandered off back into the scrub. A 15 year old girl and 6 month old Springer Spaniel, no weapon other than a stick, trapped on a corduroy road that nobody travelled … it was scary as heck! Not something anyone should experience!

    I'm from Sweden where we have quite a lot of moose, and during the theoretical part of getting my driving licence we were taught to always aim for the rear of the moose if one would cross the road. The reason for this is that when a moose decides to cross a road, or do anything really, they will do it, so when it crosses the road the moose will almost never turn back but instead carry on straight over the road. So by aiming at the rear of the moose you might be lucky to have the moose cross enough of the road before your reach it, therfore potentially avoiding a collision! Hope this information helps! ☺️

Moose are often just living their life.
    On the other hand if they are mad they are nothing to be messed with. A pack of neighborhood dogs had attacked a female moose in the area, I was in the same driveway probably around 12 years old with our dog, made eye contact and immediately knew the vibe was not right, I ran the 100 something feet back to the house SO fast and that moose was on my tail the whole way, tried to follow me through the front door and everything.

    When I was a kid, my father took my brother and I fishing in a canoe, we went down a quiet river connected to the lake. The river was about thirty feet wide, we came across a baby moose which was pretty damn big in its own right, but then the mother came out of the brush and charged us only fifteen feet away. My father is a strong man hunt fish his whole life but I genuinely saw him afraid, for us of course, the damn moose was bigger then all of us and boat combined, my dad crouched paddle in hand ready to fight this monster off before it could capsize or tiny canoe, but just at the last second, no more then half a foot from us, the water got deep and the moose went under, came up swimming, trying to bite us, my dad was screaming and swinging, splashing water in its face, and eventually it turned and swam back to shore. It followed us for ten minutes honking and thrashing in bush.
    Oddly enough at the time I wasn't scared, trusting my father, but looking back on it now, if I was a dad with twin boys under the age of ten in a canoe being charged by a giant mother moose in a tiny river 😱 I would have sunk that boat with my own turds.

Moose decided he didn't like the look the car was giving him and promptly smashed the front window and caved the entire roof in. Because not only are moose huge, heavy, and angry, they are also really dumb.

They (there were at least four i figured, by the tracks on his back) managed to take him out before he could distill it to protect himself, but, lucky for me moose aren't the best at understanding scientific nomenclature so they failed to truly understand the importance of his scratchings on the root cellar walls and thought it to be nothing more than the ramblings of a mad Canadian woodsman. I cannot blame them, for at the end he had indeed gone quite bonkers. As i lay in a tub of piss, all day, every day, i can't help but wonder if me finding it was blessing or a curse.

    In Banff, Alberta, Canada moose wander around like squirrels do in a normal city. My first day in Banff i turned the lights on inside the house and opened the curtains in the living room and there was a moose about 7' tall hunched over a bit with nose pressed against the sliding glass door.
    They are pretty mellow, they just wander around being awesome :)

    I was once canoeing in a place called Emerald Lake in the Yukon Territory Canada. This is a Shallow Lake that's approximately three to three-and-a-half feet all the way along Lake a bull moose that was grazing the bottom of the lake saw me and took Chase. That moose nearly outrun myself and my two fellow occupants paddling as hard as we could in three and a half feet of water. It started at three hundred yards away. It's not only snow they can do 15 mph.

    Had a friend in Canada years back who used to be a truck driver cross-country. He sent me a hell of a moose video once. (Sadly, this was in the late 90s, and it took forever to download on dial-up and was too big to actually keep back then.)
    But anyway, one of his fellow truck drivers he sometimes worked with had pulled off the road due to a bad snow-storm (and this being Canada, you know it has to be bad to make a trucker pull over). He had taken out a camcorder and was just filming the storm and people trying to drive in it. After a few minutes of this, you see a big-@ss bull moose casually walk out onto the road on the other side of the highway, and just stand there for a couple seconds. This was right past a somewhat blind turn on the road, and the guy recording the video sets the camcorder down (still pointed at the moose), and tries to send out a warning on the CB radio to any other truckers coming down that road. Unfortunately, another big truck comes around the turn as he's giving the warning. You can see the other truck try to slow down a little bit, but with it being so sudden coming around the curve like that, and the road being covered in heavy snow, this doesn't do much. The moose just stands there and stares at the oncoming truck and doesn't move in the slightest. (It's worth noting this moose is tall enough he's basically looking the truck driver in the eye, despite this being an 18-wheeler.) As one might expect, the front of the truck basically accordions itself when it hits the moose. Completely totals it. The moose, meanwhile, just gets knocked over. Because of the size of the truck, it hit the moose broad-side in the body, instead of taking out the legs. A few moments later, the moose gets up, and I swear it just looked annoyed. Then it just trots off across the highway in the original direction it was going and into the woods on the other side. Both from the video and the guy's account, the moose did not even appear to be injured.
    For anyone wondering, the driver of the truck that hit the moose actually did survive. According to the guy telling the story, the truck's engine was shoved inward but thankfully was mostly under where the guy was sitting. The dashboard crumpled and pinned his legs, but most of his injuries were related to the sudden deceleration. He was pretty bashed up, but apparently made a full recovery. He supposedly refused to drive truck again after that though, and found another job. Can't say I blame him.
    Anyway, just wanted to share this crazy moose encounter.
    I'd love to hear more from anyone else if anyone wants to share.

      @@Thewalliest Yeah, had it once actually. Had it in a stew. The person making the stew (an old friend's aunt) let me try a piece of the meat by itself before adding it (they cooked it part-way before putting it in the stew). They said it was a pretty tough meat, and that's why is it "better suited" for a stew. I do agree, it is a tough meat compared to the meat of say most prey animals, but it wasn't too bad. I do think she was right though about it being better in a stew. It has a strong taste, and that works great in a hearty stew. And she cooked it for a long time, so it was really tender by the time it was ready to eat. I highly recommend that kind of stew to anyone who likes a strong, rich flavor.

    Visited my mother a while back and she was talking about this "sweet moose" that visits every now and again. As I was walking up the hill to the house (at night) it stood it's ground between me and the front gate. It was snowy and I was on a hill so even though my car wasn't far away, it might as well have been a mile. We stood and just stared at each other for a bit before it turned and just disappeared into the woods. I didn't spook it, but I also didn't see it until I heard it moving through the snow, so it likely saw me first and I could only guess it was either curious or my mother was feeding it. Turns out my sister was. Now I only go up there if I have a flashlight, good snow shoes, and clarification that the walkway has been shoveled. You think they look big in this video? Nah man, get a look at one in real life. Just, if you have the choice, view it from a safe distance.

      When I was a 12 year old kid I got lured into orienteering. My parents thought it might suit me as I thought running was a boring waste of time as was just about all team sports, or cycling or anything else that might stress the cardiovascular system the least bit. Well orienteering was a lot more interesting than just running like a braindead automaton so I gave it a go. One day I was running through the forest taking the fast track to the next station. I plow through some bushes only to end up face to face with a moose. I bet there were twin furrows where I dug my heals in trying to stop as fast as fscking possible. Have anyone mentioned how large they are? To a 12 year old? At less than 3 meters (call it 10 feet)? Well, they are, huge that is.
      I'm not sure how long we were staring at each other, probably not nearly as long as the twenty minutes it felt like. Then it just turned away and took a few steps and was gone. That part was equally strange. This was not the worlds densest forest so I should have been able to see it for quite some distance when I saw where it headed of. It might have to do with me turning back and diving through those bushes again, but seriously they do have an uncanny ability to blend in which is even more disturbing knowing just how big they are.
      No that didn't make me give up orienteering, I just grew bored after a year or so when reading the map got to easy. Suddenly it was just as boring as any other kind of running, just with more swamps, sprained ankles and ticks. Lots of ticks!
      Never saw another moose when orienteering though I did occasionally scare some smaller deer. Seen them cross the road quite a few times though.
      Here is a hint. If you have moose or other deer crossing a road towards a steep slope then be very careful as it's not uncommon for them to come barreling down the slope to cross the road again.

    Considering how dangerous a moose can be, a Megaloceras or "Irish" elk, must've been something else. At up to 1500 pounds and 6'11 at the shoulder, Megaloceras wasn't that much bigger than the largest moose, but it did pack the largest antlers of any deer at up to *12 feet across* and *88* pounds. As for the biggest deer ever, that honor goes to the broad fronted "moose", Cervalces latifrons that weighed in at 2,200 pounds but could possibly get up to 2,600 and had antlers that were only 8 feet wide.

They didn't have time to react as this tower of doom deer emerged from the darkness and smashed clean into their grill. The moose died, but took their front axle with it. Yeah, Bullwinkle cracked the front axle of a lumber truck!

      I like how u said “the moose died” as if that would be surprising after he’ve just got his ass flattened on the road by some fat truck

    "And failing to meet a moose's expectations is exactly how heaven gains angles" is a great line. Might change it and use it for a DnD dragon or something

      Angles instead of angels is definitely my favorite typo

      Probably Bad RPG Idea: A dragon that is terrified of moose, especially baby moose
