Muskieman Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Seems like a lot of US folk do go sledding with guns , I probably would ... but there's a video out there of a moose getting blown away for doing the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal. And even in this vid, there seems to be some 'chasing' going on... What I don't understand is why people just don't stop when they see one? It was well ahead of them.. Stop, turn the sleds off and wait 10 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Some people just don't have the analytical awareness to realize they are contributing to a situation that could turn bad. There is probably one word to sum up these type of folks. Glad it turned out ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 So easy to judge, but they reacted well once things got sour, and got some great video to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozer Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 We weren't chasing it but it was running away from us while we drove behind behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookinforwalleye Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Well they take their sidearms fishing why not sleding!!!! Glad she didn't shoot the moose with that little pop gun might have really pissed mr. Moose off!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 What the guy said is true. 99% of the time the moose will run a little bit and then turn off the trail and you can drive on by. They weren't chasing it, just going in the same direction. It just happened to be that 1% moose that didn't veer off the trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, on some trails, if you stopped and waited for moose you might as well camp out for the night lol. A few hundred kliks might take a week haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few hundred kliks might take a week haha They did have a pistol to scare it off with if that happened, but they didn't wait for that 'problem' to arise. They nearly paid a big price for their impatience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
