[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2937970, member: 126670"] Hardest I've ever laughed just reading a story! Thanks for sharing. I work as a personal assistant to a businessman, and one of the things that he owns is a large ranch, and that is where I also live. There are many ranch hands, and they have some fun stories to share. A few of them were on a snowmobile trip together some years ago, and after an enjoyable day of riding in the mountains were heading down the trail to the parking lot where they left their trucks. A moose was walking down this well packed snowmobile trail, and refused to move to the side to let them by. The whole trail was not very wide they said, maybe twice the width of a snowmobile, and the packed part was right down the center. Well after a few minutes of following this moose at maybe 5 MPH and staying back 100' or so, the guy in the lead revved his engine up so it made a loud screaming 2 stroke noise, and the snowmobile lunges ahead toward the moose. Well they now have turned this docile moose, into a very angry one. It spun around quickly, and was facing them, lowered its head and charged. With no room to quickly turn or do much of anything, Chip who was on the lead snowmobile jumped off and ran back towards the next guy in line. Sounds like his snowmobile took a serious beating by that big angry bull moose. Once content with the level of destruction it has done, the moose turned and walked back down the trail. They did enough repairs to make it rideable, and waited for a long while to make sure that the moose was long gone, before continuing to ride down the mountain in the dark. Chip said it cost him $6,000 to repair his snowmobile, and he had a deep new respect for the power of a moose, and how quickly they would attack. While listening to that story I couldn't stop laughing, and neither could the others despite having heard it many times before. At the time I was new to country living, and clueless about moose attacking, just assumed that they would always run away from people. Ever since I see moose differently, not as an animal terrified of humans, but instead willing to fight if annoyed by us. [/QUOTE]
