1. lol, happened here once. moose stalked us half a day.
then he came up real close like that... and tried to stomp the dog. so we started throwing sticks and branches at him and he ran off lol but still followed us for awhile.

2. Moose are scary dangerous animals
When I was backpacking in Isle Royale national park I had a moose run out of the forest about 5 feet in front of me. Needless to say, I had to change my underwear after that.

3. His advice to run is exactly what you don't want to do.
Because the Moose will be stimulated to chase you and you cannot win in a race with a moose....same is true with bears....the worst thing you can do is run.
The guy in the video new what he was doing....he made a lot of noise and made himself look as big as he could....and stood his ground.

That is one of the scariest noises I have ever heard is a moose running through the thick underbrush.

5. I usually sneeze at them -- and it works, too.
Why, I haven't seen any moose at all here in North Texas since I've been sneezing.
