[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2218369, member: 4191"] Another reason to carry a revolver in Alaska. About 4hrs ago at the edge of my backyard. Can be mean mommas this time of year. This one came at my dog growling like a bear. A week ago a lady 20mi north of me got stomped by a cow with a newborn calf. Believe it or not, she was attacked trying to reunite the newborn calf with the cow! Likely watched the movie Bambi once too many times. She was medivac'd to an Anchorage hospital, so she clearly suffered a serious whoopin for interfering between the cow and its calf. She survived, last I heard. I believe the newspaper reported that the woman was a recent arrival to Alaska. Now a graduate of the "school of hard knocks". Moose attacks have killed a few of people in the 40+ years I've lived here. When their head lowers slightly and they stare at you like you owe them serious money, time to draw the revolver and back away. When the ears lay down, time to back away faster. If they start coming head held low, ears flattened back, run fast! They will usually stop if you clear out. [ATTACH=full]279498[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
