Arrow Moose in the Wild

Janis and Bob are very lucky to have walked away from this incident without harm!!!

A friend of ours and his girlfriend were out on his motorcycle one day and noticed a bull moose out in a field. They stopped and shut off the bike to watch the giant beast. Apparently, the moose didn't care for their audience and it charged them. The bike was totaled and he waked away with a broken shoulder and collarbone. The woman sustained a facial fracture, which required a lot of surgeries to fix. Moose certainly require a healthy dose of respect and caution. The woods are their home, we are just visitors.

I expect that Coastal Laker and Belmont Resident learned a very valuable lesson, indeed. I am very thankful that they didn't get hurt or worse.
